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

Chapter 100 Stone Bridge Falls

Maybe God finally had enough of this man's unlucky 24 years, and practiced him once for the first time.

In the middle of the night, Gu Huaishu held his hand and felt the fever go away.

"Ade! Ade! Tell the doctor to come in!"

She suddenly yelled, because of Zhang Tingyu's illness, the people in the mansion stayed awake most of the night, and waited with Gu Huaishu.

If you miss this year, maybe it will be another three years, who can afford to wait?

Ade was startled, and wanted to rush in to see the second master immediately, but he thought he would listen to the second young lady, so he went to invite the doctor who was still dozing outside to have a look.

Not caring about anything else for a moment, the doctor lifted the curtain and went in.

Gu Huaishu hurriedly asked for a pulse, the doctor was a well-known doctor in Jiangning City, and he didn't know who brought him in, it was very unlucky.

As soon as he touched Zhang Tingyu's pulse, he was overjoyed: "There is drama, there is drama! Hurry up and get hot water to wipe it off first, and the fever has started to subside. It is really an auspicious person with his own celestial appearance, and an auspicious person has his own celestial appearance... "

When Gu Huaishu heard this sentence, his body went limp and he was about to fall to the ground, Qing Dai hurriedly supported him: "Be careful."

She sat down unsteadily, but was almost exhausted.

Zhang Tingyu was always nervous in front of him, but he forgot that he hadn't eaten a drop of rice for a day.

Qingdai gave Duofu an order to bring the soft millet porridge that has been boiled in the kitchen for a long time to Gu Huaixiu, and it will be ready to eat after a while.

From the time of the fourth watch until the dawn of the sky, Zhang Tingyu gradually began to improve as if she had overcome that line.

Gu Huaishu just had a bowl of porridge all day, even though the doctor said he was fine, he still stayed by Zhang Tingyu's side to take care of him.

She saw Zhang Tingyu open his eyes. When he just woke up, his whole body seemed to be burnt dry. The bony hand wiped her tears.

When he married a daughter-in-law back then, he said that he was competing with the sky, but now she is the one who worries about him.

Gu Huaishu threw herself on him and cried in his arms, wiping his clothes until tears were all over his clothes.

Zhang Tingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and when the servant girl brought something up, he drank water first, and then porridge, before he could barely speak.

His first sentence was: "My fate is hard, I can't die even if I want to, and I will be a disaster for many years."

As soon as she heard it, she broke into tears and laughed, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes.

Today is already the eighth day of the lunar new year, and she was about to go to the Gong Yuan for roll call. She asked, "Shall I go?"

Zhang Tingyu said hoarsely, "Go."

If you don't go today, how can you take the exam?
He was supported by the people below, dressed and got up.

When she was ill, it was raining, but today it was pouring rain.

After drinking the medicine, all the things to rush for the exam have been packed, Gu Huaishu thought he would not need it, but now watching him stand in front of the window with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his heart is full of complicated.

"It's raining too much outside, and the road is full of water. The bearer said he couldn't go, so he brought a carriage instead."

Ad?Wearing an oil-paper umbrella, I was covered in water, afraid of bringing the cold into the house, so I stood outside and called out.

Gu Huaishu struggled in his heart, he didn't want him to go, he was worried about his body, he would stay in the tribute courtyard for seven days and five nights, and he didn't know what it would be like when he came back.

Before leaving, Zhang Tingyu said, "The other courtyard is also far away from the Gongyuan. It has been raining a lot these days, so I only live in Kuixia Garden, where shopkeeper Liao lives. If you see the weather clearing up, come and wait for me. On August [-]th, the If the three cards are handed in, the Mid-Autumn Festival can still be celebrated."

His slender and strong fingers gently caressed Gu Huaishu's face.

Gu Huaishu said: "I'm only worried... that's all, if you fail, I will take your skin off."

He spoke like a knife on his mouth, but his heart was as soft as cotton.

She asked someone to prepare medicine and food, and asked Ade to accompany Zhang Tingyu after a while.

In this rainy weather, I don't know what's going on in the Gongyuan.

His footsteps still showed a bit of vanity, he felt that his chest was empty when he was sick, and Gu Huaishou didn't dare to reach out to hug him, for fear that he would find him skinny and bony.

She insisted on sending him out with an umbrella, but he forced someone to send her back to the house, "It's cold outside, don't freeze."

Zhang Tingyu was holding an umbrella, and the rain was pouring down, even his boots were wet, and it also stained his green robe.

"Let's go back."

He said.

Gu Huaishu leaned on the door to look at him, and said stubbornly, "I'll see you get in the car."

Zhang Tingyu shook his head and laughed, coughed twice, feeling that she was unreasonable.But after all, he was afraid that she would be frozen outside for a long time, so he got in the car early and asked someone to go to the Gongyuan.

The Jiangning Tribute Academy is very large, with thousands of dormitories occupying it. Scholars enter through the entrance of the Tribute Academy one by one, roll call and enter the venue. After all the candidates enter the venue, Sheng Cannon seals the door and locks the door.As for the questions of the township examination, they will not be available until midnight.

As soon as Zhang Tingyu entered, Gu Huaishu felt his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what was going on.

She walked around the house once, and again, and she didn't feel any better in the past, but now he was sick, but she still went to the Gongyuan, worried that he would not eat well, that he would not be dressed warmly, that he would catch cold at night, and also worried about the wind and cold. kissed his cheek...

After all she was worried about everything.

Zhang Tingyu took the exam, but it seemed like she was taking the exam.

Gu Huaishu only said to Qing Dai: "It's basically me taking the exam."

The rain is getting heavier day by day. The south of the Yangtze River is originally a water town, and now there are many places in Jiangning City with stagnant water.

When the evening was approaching, Li Wei helped the people below bring up the washbasin for cleansing face, handed it to the people outside, and just called out "hot, hot, hot". Yelling about it with a piece of fried shrimp.

"Brat, ghost, those who didn't know thought you were scalded by the water!"

"Where can it be? Li Wei's hands are still waiting to serve tea and water to the godmother. Even if you drive me away, I won't leave haha... Hey, Aunt Qingdai, don't hit me!"

As soon as Li Wei saw Qing Dai lift the curtain and come out, he ran into the rain.

Qing Dai wished she could throw the teacup at him: "Why don't you be an aunt, and let people tear your mouth apart!"

"Aunt Qingdai said to tear my mouth apart, but I haven't seen you do it every time."

Li Wei stuck out his tongue, made a face, and finally ran away.

Gu Huaishu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "He is young, what do you care about with him?"

Qing Dai came in indignantly: "My servant is only eighteen this year, and I am called old by him!"

Women value their age.

Gu Huaixiu finally laughed for real.

She heard the sound of the rain outside gradually subsiding, and her heart calmed down a lot, "It's almost fifteen, you ask the kitchen to prepare some moon cakes, when we see the rain stops, we will go to the Kuixia Garden Waiting for the second master to come out. I thought, maybe the weather will be fine that day, so we will wait outside the Gongyuan."

She planned well, but the rain stopped for a while and then became heavy again, the carriages and sedan chairs couldn't get out, and the water along the river flooded the steps of people's houses by the river.

Li Wei went out for a run, and when he came back, he said that boats can be used everywhere in the city. There was a grandmother who leaned against the wall to wash clothes in a basin this morning. The head was found, and a basin of clothes was floated from the west of the city to the east of the city because of the big wooden basin, which was made a joke for a while.

It rained lightly for half a month, and it rained heavily for eight consecutive days. On August [-]th, the sky finally cleared up, and every family could finally come out to hang the clothes that hadn’t been dried for several days.

Gu Huaishu finally went out on this day.

"Qingdai, hurry up and tidy up, okay?"

Gu Huaishu was a little anxious, she hastily put on makeup on herself, but felt that it was too polite, so she washed it clean, and simply turned her face to the sky.

Qing Dai walked outside with her things in her hand, "It's packing up, it's almost ready."

After hearing this, Gu Huaixiu just sat down and drank the tea. He felt a little chest tightness and discomfort, and just swallowed a mouthful of the tea and vomited it out.She vomited twice, choked for a while, and coughed twice.

"What's wrong with Second Young Mistress?" Qing Dai finally handed all the things to the maid who was waiting outside, and heard Gu Huaisu coughing inside, thinking that she was suffering from the cold, "Don't worry about the second master, you just come out Is something wrong?"

Gu Huaixiu said in his heart that he was much stronger than Zhang Er, thinking that the Gongyuan would open the door, and Zhang Er would definitely come out when the sign was put up for the first time, and he didn't care about that much, so he went out and sat on the door one?The sedan chair is going to the Sunflower Garden.

On the way, someone shouted loudly, "The Gongyuan is open! The Gongyuan is open! They are coming out, they are coming out!"

Li Wei, who was traveling with him, also shouted: "The second master must have come out too!"

Gu Huaishu couldn't help urging: "The faster you walk, ask someone to go to the Kuixia Garden in front to look around, and then ask someone to watch at the gate of the Gongyuan."

Walking along the way, I just feel that the city is full of excitement.

But I didn't expect the sedan chair to be unable to walk halfway. When I asked, I found out that the stone bridge in front was washed away by the flood, and I either had to turn to the front or squeeze on the small bridge ahead.

"Reporting to Second Young Mistress, our sedan chair must be difficult to pass, why don't you turn around and fold it?"

"What fold?"

Gu Huaixiu said coldly: "Get off the sedan chair."

The bearers were all frightened. It's not like they haven't seen the aunts who came out to show their faces, but it was the first time they saw such a rich and talented lady come out by herself.

The bearers simply threw away their sedan chairs and opened the way on one side, while the people in front were rushing across the bridge, crowding and bumping into each other, not to mention how lively it was.

It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and it is close to the outer river, and the current is even more turbulent. If you look under the bridge, you can see that the river is muddy, and you can't see what's below it when the waves turn over.

Gu Huaixiu raised the corner of her skirt and walked forward. Seeing that her overall style was different from others, others had the kindness to give way to her. Gu Huaixiu thanked them one by one.

Li Wei was right next to Gu Huaishu, grabbing her sleeve, shouting excitedly, and asked Second Master Zhang if he would become a juren if he came out.

How can Gu Huaishu answer him?
She was walking to the center of the bridge, and laughed: "The result will not be known until the results are released before September [-]th. It's so easy to know..."

There was a sudden shock under her feet, and Gu Huaixu's heart jumped, she just felt that disgusting feeling rushing up again, she wanted to retch, and it was too late to escape.

There was only a strange muffled sound, and the whole bridge collapsed!

The water in the inner Qinhuai River is much deeper than normal, and because of the abnormally heavy rains in the past few days, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the water is squeezed in the middle, resulting in the rapid flow of the inner and outer Qinhuai rivers.The stone bridge has been going on for a long time, and there is no problem with ordinary traffic. Today, because the bridge next door collapsed, everyone crowded onto the small bridge, unable to bear the load, and finally disappeared in the current.

Gu Huaishu's whole body sank following the collapsed stone bridge, and disappeared under the water in an instant.

Li Weiqingdai and others were all in it and were swallowed up together.

The stone bridge suddenly disappeared, and people on both sides were stunned. After a long time, someone shouted loudly: "Hurry up and save people! Hurry up and save people!"

There are fishermen and boatmen in the south of the Yangtze River who are very good at water, and they all jump into the water at this time, looking for people to save them.

The blue sky remains the same.

The horseshoes clattered away, passing the bluestone slab path washed clean by the rain, and the people from an unknown family ran all the way to the Gongyuan to pick up people.

Zhang Tingyu's complexion was pale, and the past few days of the exam inevitably brought about a resurgence of his illness.After three exams, it was like a serious illness, let alone he was sick?

The fingers trembled violently, but the words that fell were as stable as a rock.

After the last word fell, he gently put down his pen and took an ink scroll. After three exams, he finally handed in the paper and passed the triple gate.

Standing outside the tribute courtyard, Zhang Tingyu pressed his forehead, only feeling a splitting headache.

Ade squeezed through the crowd, with tears all over his face for some reason, and cried to Zhang Tingyu.

He didn't hear clearly, and stared at Ade for a while, before he got down the steps, his eyes suddenly went dark——
