The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 1 There is a female Gu San
In March, there should be a lot of tourists for spring outing.

It's just that when Gu Huaishu was helped in by the maid Qingdai, it was already late, most of the tourists had gone back, and the tea shop was deserted.

"The master just got out of the car and said he was going to see an old friend. Please sit down, miss, we will leave after a short rest."

Qing Dai wiped all the tables and chairs in the tea shop before letting Gu Huaixiu sit down.

Gu Huaishau felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and even the only heavy crabapple white jade hairpin on his head seemed to be crumbling.

"What's a break?"

Holding a Hualan fan crookedly in her hand, she gave Qing Dai a sideways glance, "This place is only six miles away from Tongcheng, and it will be there in no time. You go and ask the handlebars to rest for a while. Go on, A handful of bones are going to fall apart."

When he said this, Gu Huaishu casually rolled up the sleeves of his thin spring shirt, glanced at the west-slanting sun outside the bamboo curtain, covered it with a fan and quietly yawned while no one was watching. , obviously sleepy.

Qingdai is her personal servant girl, this time the master Gu Zhenguan came to Tongcheng to meet an old friend, he stopped outside Longmian Mountain, and only told the young lady to go first.Qing Dai didn't understand exactly who the master was going to see, but seeing the young lady's calm expression, as if she knew her mind, she asked: "Miss seems to know the whereabouts of the master."

"My father has lived in the mountains and forests for many years. How long has it been since he stepped out of Wuxi? On weekdays, he only knows how to send love poems and books, and indulges in mountains and rivers. You can count on your fingers the people who are still alive and have made good friends with him."

Gu Huaixiu knew Gu Zhenguan best.

According to her understanding, Gu Zhenguan is a sour and romantic literati. Ming Chongzhen was born ten years ago, and later became an official. He was also highly regarded by Lord Kangxi. The official retired.

This retreat lasted nearly six years.

Apart from Nalan Xingde and Wu Zhaoqian, there is only one Zhang Ying in the court who is close to her father.

Speaking of Zhang Ying, he was also a big celebrity in the dynasty.

Gu Huaixiu said: "Last year the first-class Duke Tong Guogang died on the battlefield. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to issue a document, but the people below made mistakes and the sacrificial document failed to resign. At that time, Mr. Zhang Ying was still the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Imperial Academy. Wasn't Zhan Shifu implicated for no reason? He was dismissed from the position of Minister, and I heard that he lost his holy family."

"Then the master is going to see Mr. Zhang Ying?" Qing Dai thought it over right away. Although Mr. Zhang Ying lost his job as a secretary, he is still in charge of the Imperial Academy and Zhan Shifu. He should just go back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors at this moment .Isn't this Longmian Mountain the place where Zhang Jiazu's house is located?

"Seeing Mr. Zhang is just one of them." Gu Huaishou shook the teacup that Qingdai handed over, feeling rough, so he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand.She stared at the ripples in the teacup, and said lazily, "I'm afraid it's more for the eldest sister."

Gu Huaishu, who squinted his eyes slightly, seemed to be very careless, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his bright eyes.

After hearing this, Qing Dai's expression turned contemptuous, and she curled her lips, "Miss' matter——"

"Qingdai."

Gu Huaishu suddenly interrupted Qing Dai's words, pointed to the handlebars and servants waiting outside with one hand, and ordered: "Go and call them in, have a sip of tea, rest before you go."

Being interrupted by her, Qing Dai also forgot what she wanted to say, so she bowed and went out to greet people.

When she came back, Gu Huaishu was about to fall asleep.

"Miss, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is wet and cold, don't fall asleep here." Qing Dai woke her up, with a look of worry on her face, and suddenly remembered the previous conversation, and lowered her voice, "I heard Mr. Zhang Of the four young masters, three are not married, Mr. Zhang Ying is a famous Confucianist all over the world, the young masters of his family must be good, and the young lady is really lucky."

"Snapped."

Gu Huaishu lightly hit Qingdai on the head with a fan, and she stood up, ready to stretch, and said with a smile: "What kind of luck is not luck? You only heard that the tiger father has no dogs, but I told you You: You can’t be rich for three generations, and most of them will be broken in the second generation.”

Before coming to the Qing Dynasty, I heard a lot about a certain second generation. How many of the second generation of officials are good?
When choosing a husband and son-in-law, Gu Huaixiu always felt that it was the same as eating food, which is expensive and not expensive, focusing on quality rather than quantity.She is an expert in eating, and she has her own experience, although it is not her own business, but there is always some reference value.The eldest sister is married, and the second brother's marriage will be a matter of course. I'm afraid she, the third girl of the Gu family, will soon...

With his reputation abroad, which good son can take a fancy to him?

When Gu Huaishu thought of this, he was like the first two big ones. The fate of leftover women in ancient times was even more tragic.

"You can't talk so much. I heard that Mr. Zhang's eldest son has won the Jinshi. Although he is married, but based on his speculation, Mr. Zhang's other sons must be extraordinary. According to our close relationship with Mr. Zhang's family , Maybe the young lady is married, and you will soon be too, young lady!"

Qing Dai covered her lips and snickered, Gu Huaixiu was also at this age, once she mentioned this matter, the young lady would definitely have a sad face.

No, it started again——

Gu Huaishu's heart was in a panic, An's life was never comfortable, and he was going to talk about getting married in a blink of an eye?

She knew that there was no one in the tea shop, so she didn't care much, so she blurted out a joke: "What is the son of the Zhang family? Since ancient times, one generation is not as good as the previous generation. So... How can a son be better than Lao Tzu? No matter how powerful the Zhang family's young masters are, they can't compare with Master Zhang Ying. They are the great Confucian scholars of the Qing Dynasty, and the celebrities around the Long Live Lord. You will be able to return to your post tomorrow."

"According to what you say, miss, the young masters of the Zhang family are really useless. It's up to you who you marry!" Qing Dai knew that Gu Huaishu was teasing herself, so she only pursed her lips and smiled in agreement with her.

Gu Huaixiu shook the fan, felt a little cold again, pressed the fan on the wooden table, and laughed: "Why marry the son of Zhang Ying, the troublemaker, why not just marry Zhang Ying?"

Qing Dai was stunned, she was too frightened by Gu Huaishu's words to speak.

Gu Huaishu knew that Qing Dai would be frightened by him, so he let out a "pu chi" and almost fell down laughing, "Qing Dai, you are really..."

It was only after a while that Qing Dai realized that she was being teased by her own lady. "Miss, you are bullying the slave again!"

There was a burst of laughter in the tea shop, which made the Zhang family brothers who had just walked in front of the tea shop do not know what to do.

They listened to the conversation between the master and the servant inside, but felt awkward for no reason.

I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but that's fine, it happened to be such a content.

The two people who came were Zhang Tingyu, the second son of Zhang Ying, and Zhang Tinglu, the third son.

Zhang Tingyu was a little older, but he was already handsome and extraordinary. He was dressed in an ordinary sky blue satin robe, which set off his clear and clear demeanor. Standing here is just like green pines and verdant cypresses.The slightly cold wind lifted the corner of his robe, like bamboo leaves fluttering in the wind, with its own bright and clear aura.

The spring scenery in Tongcheng, Anhui is beautiful, but Zhang Tingyu's heart is not beautiful all of a sudden.

I've heard that the third girl from the Gu family is unusual, so I've seen it today.

People say that the Gu family has two sisters, each with its own merits.

The eldest lady Yaofang is well-educated, gentle and quiet, she is a first-class exquisite heart.It's a pity that she has always been suffering from medicine and stones, and her bones are weak. She has only gradually recuperated this year. A Taoist priest came to tell her fortune, saying that she must be over twenty before she can get married, otherwise disaster will happen to her body.That's why the eldest girl of the Gu family didn't talk about marriage until she passed the hurdle of Double Ten and became an old girl.

The third lady has sleeves, but her reputation outside is not good.

Miss Gu doesn't marry, and Miss Gu doesn't dare to marry even though she has seventeen sleeves.Kuang Huaixiu was liked by her father, and he wanted to keep her by his side for two more years, Gu Huaixiu was too lazy to marry, so he was very happy to be a rice bug at home, eating and waiting for death.

This one doesn't care about serious things, but eats, drinks, and has fun better than anyone else. A girl from the Han family is even more exaggerated than those cockfighting and running dogs in the Eight Banners. People jokingly called her "Gu San" , What I hate the most is reading and writing to go to school.Every time her father Gu Zhenguan taught her a lesson, she brought up the sage's instruction: a woman's lack of talent is virtue.

It wasn't Gu Zhenguan who got mad, but her elder sister Gu Yaofang.After all, Sister Fang is quite talented in literature and knowledge, and she can be regarded as a talented woman in Wuxi and the capital, but her birth is not as good as that of Gu Huaixiu.

Therefore, it is said that Gu Zhenguan has two daughters, one is gentle and quiet, beautiful and intelligent, literary and talented, she is a talented woman; the other is beautiful, ignorant, embroidered pillows, she is a beauty.

Although a talented woman is beautiful, she is not as good as Gu San; a talented woman has talent, but Gu San is hard to match.

In short, Gu Yaofang wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was quite talented. Gu Huaixiu was all over her body, except for being beautiful, she had no other advantages.

Listening outside now, although I haven't seen what Gu San looks like, I still have a bad impression.

Zhang Tingyu frowned, the third younger brother beside him couldn't stand still, he gently poked his arm, and there was a bit of schadenfreude on his young and childish face.

Girls from the Han family don't need to be drafted, Miss Gu is twenty years old and hasn't married yet, she is just the same age as Zhang Tingyu, I'm afraid this marriage will not be able to escape.Originally, Gu Zhenguan went to catch up with Zhang Ying. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Ying was worried about the third girl of the Gu family, so she specially sent two brothers, Zhang Tingyu, to see her off. Unexpectedly, she heard Gu Huaishou's outrageous words.

What kind of son is not as good as Laozi, and he is willing to marry Zhang Ying?
It's ridiculous!

Zhang Tingyu pursed his lips, but ignored his third brother.

He raised his eyelids, narrowed his eyes, and smiled slightly. Standing outside the bamboo curtain of the tea shop, he cupped his hands and said in a warm voice, "Is Gu San Miss inside? My father, Zhang Ying, and your father are making tea with my father-in-law to reminisce about the past. , Your Majesty and my third brother are here to escort Miss into the city."

The people in the tea shop had almost left, and their laughing voices seemed to be cut off at once.

Inside and outside the teahouse, there was instant silence.

The eyelids of Gu Huaisu who was sitting inside twitched, she turned her head to look at the figure standing outside the bamboo curtain, glanced back at Qing Dai, her lips moved slightly, but she gritted her teeth and said: "There are people outside, how can no one know?" pass?"

Qing Dai felt wronged, she was joking with the young lady, how could she care so much?
Why doesn't Gu Huaishu know the identity of the outsider?Everyone has declared themselves.

She only hoped that her shocking words would not be listened to by these two, otherwise her face would be ruined.Gu Huaixiu tried to stay calm, coughed, then got up, held on to the fan, slightly covered the lower half of his face, imitating his eldest sister Gu Yaofang's weak willow Fufeng, and whispered: "Uncle Zhang is thoughtful, my daughter thank you , trouble the two sons."

Qing Dai couldn't help but quietly rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, Gu Huaishu immediately rolled her eyes.
