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

Chapter 103 Poison Woman
Gu Huaishu had disappeared in Zhang's residence for too long, and many people hoped that she would never come back.

It's a pity that Gu Huaishu has always been very considerate, and after playing enough, he brought the battlefield back from Jiangnan.

Seeing that Chen's and Xiao Chen's faces changed, Gu Huaishu smiled and said: "Qing Dai, drag people out to beat them, they are making a lot of noise here, what should I do if I startle the two young mistresses? I haven't returned home for so many years. , you really don’t know the rules any more.”

"The slaves know their mistakes, so let them go out and fight."

As soon as Qing Dai bowed, someone dragged Qin Fang out, threw her in the yard and slapped her.

Now the sound is far away at once, and it can be heard vaguely. Although it is not so noisy, it is even more frightening.

Gu Huaixiu smiled, as if nothing had happened and continued to chat with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.

Little Chen never thought that Gu Huaishu would be so strong just after he came back?

Listening to the voices outside, she felt a little on pins and needles, she didn't even hear Gu Huaishu calling her twice.

As soon as Chen frowned, she already felt that something was wrong: "Third Young Mistress? Third Young Mistress?"

Xiao Chen finally heard it, and when she looked up, she saw that Gu Huaishu's movement of holding the tea had stopped, and she was looking at her with an extremely peaceful gaze.

"I've just been out of my mind for a while. Thinking that Ruoting is still outside, I'm a little worried. Having a child means I have to worry a lot."

Xiao Chen originally just wanted to cover up her distraction, but when she saw Gu Huaishu's appearance at first glance, she thought that if Gu Huaishu recovered, she would snatch the power of the housekeeper from her, and she couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest .

Now the big house seems useless, and the fourth brother is still young, and when he grows up and gets married, the day lily will be cold.

The contradictions in the entire Zhang Mansion were concentrated on the second and third rooms.

Originally, the second room was in the south of the Yangtze River, so there was nothing to talk about, but now he came back suddenly, isn't this obviously causing trouble on purpose?
Obviously Sanfang has completely gained the trust of the old lady and the master...

Now Zhang Tingyu is the top candidate in the exam...

Xiao Chen panicked when she thought about it.

As soon as she saw Gu Huaishu's flat stomach, she said such vicious words.

How can there be any reason to talk about your child in front of a woman who has just lost her pregnancy?
Originally, she was just mocking Gu Huaishu, but she didn't expect that the first person who changed her face when she said these words was Chen Shi.

Gu Huaixiu hid his thoughts deeply and ignored Xiao Chen at all.

Instead, Mrs. Chen stood up at once, and said softly, "Since the third sibling is so worried about their children, don't bother the second young lady here. Now the second young lady is ill and needs to recuperate. Third younger sister, the maid next to you I always said that you are delicate and weak, and you are easily infected with illness, lest you get sick and rely on your second sister-in-law. Why don't we go first. "

Xiao Chen was already stunned, how could these words be sarcastic and slap in the face?
She never expected that it would come from her cousin's mouth.

However, Mrs. Chen had already bid farewell to Gu Huaixiu, and Gu Huaixiu called the maid to see her off, but Mrs. Chen didn't dare to stand here without making fun of herself, and left in a hurry.

After a while, the sound of slapping outside stopped, Qing Dai walked in, brought a plate of pastries, and said: "Shi Fang's new peony sweet cake, it nourishes the lungs."

"Presumably he guessed that I would have all kinds of bad things when I returned home, and he was afraid that I would get angry, so he prepared this peony cake."

Gu Huaishu laughed, but couldn't help but think of Li Wei.

Qing Dai once said that Li Wei was by Gu Huaisu's side that day, before he could grab her in time, he only grabbed a piece of her sleeve, and he also ran away when Gu Huaishu was missing.

Later, someone said that they had seen it by Shen Qi's side.

Qing Dai also said that it was probably caused by guilt, but after leaving, she couldn't come back.

Even if Gu Huaishu returned safely, Li Wei would not be able to come back.

Gu Huaixiu lowered his eyes, tasted a piece of pastry, and it tasted good, he said: "Take half of it to the second master's study, now the second master is still at the master's place, he must be learning a lesson. This year's palace exam is not for him , the father and son must have a good discussion."

Maybe it's not just a matter of negotiating when to try.

Zhang Ying herself was born as a Jinshi, and her ancestors are still powerful. There is already a Zhang Tingzan who is a Jinshi. Now Zhang Tingyu is also a certainty, and Zhang Tinglu will not be mediocre in the future. No name.

Such a big family, but every man is extremely powerful. If a father and son have five Jinshi, it would be scary to say it.

At the beginning, because Zhang Tingzan won the Jinshi first, Zhang Tingyu was not without talent and learning in more than [-] years, but he has not passed the rural examination for a long time. It is impossible to say that there is no scruples about Zhang Ying.

In the final analysis, it still depends on what Zhang Ying thinks. Things that are decided now may change from time to time in the future.

She turned her mind away, but said: "How is Qinfang?"

"My heart is wild, you have not been here these few years, but the servants looked at this house, but few people still remember it." Remember Gu Huaishu's methods back then.

Qing Dai felt dissatisfied, and there was a bit of resentment on her face.

Gu Huaishu stretched out his hand to pat her, and smiled kindly: "Where are there so few people who fall into trouble? If people think you are strong, they will come to curry favor with us; if they think you are weak, even if they are just ants, they dare to come up and step on you. It’s lame. I’ll let them see that sometimes it’s not good to add insult to injury.”

Not friendly at all.

She also asked Qingdai to lend her a hand, even though her legs were weak, she still had to walk according to the doctor's instructions, maybe it would be fine in a few months.

"That's right, servant girl..."

Qing Dai wanted to say something, but stopped for a while, as if she suddenly felt that it was not good to say it.

"What's worth your hesitation, just say it, don't hide bad news, if there is, it's better to prepare early." Gu Huaixiu already had some guesses.

Qing Dai said: "Just now when the servant saw the third young lady going out, she took a look at Qinfang. Although Qinfang was beaten, she still glanced at the third young lady. There was only one look, maybe the servant was thinking too much."

"It's better to think about it than not to think about it."

Gu Huaixiu stopped, just in time to see Zhang Tingyu walking in. "The second master is back?"

Zhang Tinghe stepped in, but took Gu Huaishu and helped her to walk in the room, Qing Dai quietly left after seeing this.

He smiled warmly: "I see that you have disappeared for a while, and you are much more energetic."

"I'm fighting against the sky, the earth, and people. It's a lot of fun."

Gu Huaishu made a joke, holding his hand, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

fight?
Zhang Tingyu suddenly discovered that Gu Huaishu had been working hard to live.

From the matter between the crown prince and Gu Yaofang, from the agreement between her and the fourth elder brother, Zhang Tingyu learned all these things from Zhang Tingzan.A girl's family, twisted her head off, quarreled with the nobles of Tianhuang, gained a good reputation, and finally married to him in a legitimate way...

Although, it didn't seem to be for him at that time.

After entering the door, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and maidservants tidy up, all kinds of things come one after another, knocking off the peach blossoms around him one by one, getting jealous, settling accounts, housekeeping, making him angry and making him laugh...

Now that she is in such a situation, she has no children and her legs are sick, but she can still talk and laugh happily, control the people who should be dealt with, and do things as she should, without being affected at all.

How could he not love such a transparent person?

Not only to love, but also to love from the bottom of your heart.

Zhang Tingyu straightened her hair that was hanging down at the sideburns, but seeing her clear eyebrows and bright eyes, he couldn't help but went down and kissed her.

Gu Huaishu slightly closed his eyes, and only chuckled lightly: "How's the talk going?"

He paused, stopped, but his lips were still touching hers, and he rubbed vaguely when he spoke.

"Father said that I missed it this year. I'll wait for the exam three years later, and...the palace exam."

"Elder-in-law is easy to say, isn't that what he said three years ago?" Although Gu Huaishu complained like this, he was very happy in his heart, because Zhang Tingyu was very happy, "Don't you worry about the big tree attracting the wind?"

"The sons are too good, why worry about it?"

Zhang Tingyu is very shameless.

Zhang Tingyu sells melons, selling himself and boasting.

Gu Huaishu stretched out his hands to hug his neck: "Here are two catties of melons."

How tacit understanding does Zhang Tingyu have with her?
He smiled and sighed: "Mrs. Zhang doesn't sell melons today, so she brags. If she wants to eat melons, she will ask the kitchen to cook them later. Didn't your cook come back with me? I don't have melons if I want to buy melons."

"miser."

She pressed her face against his heart, and her voice was soft.

"I want to get better soon, my second master's ambitions are starting to swell, and I have to swell up quickly, very quickly, very quickly..."

She raised her face from his arms and looked at Zhang Tingyu, while Zhang Tingyu held her waist and looked down at her.

The eyes of the two met, but they were both open and clear.

"How far do you think we can go?" Zhang Tingyu asked her.

Gu Huaishu said, "It's far, far away."

She thought boredly that he might want to ask how far "very far, very far" is, but Zhang Tingyu didn't ask.

He hugged her for a long time, and then Gu Huaishu fell asleep.

The medicine she drank every day has the effect of calming the nerves. It is easy for her to fall asleep and sleep peacefully.

Zhang Tingyu hugged her to lie down, but told no one to come outside, and only said that the second young lady was sleeping.

Gu Huaishu hasn't seen anyone else since she came back, and those maids who were caught by her at the beginning don't know what's going on here.

It was only when the news that Qinfang's cheeks were swollen from the beating reached everyone's ears that they truly felt the trembling feeling that the return of snakes and scorpions brought to them.

A fear that comes from within.

Now the second room says no one is there, and the second young lady is still sleeping, those who want to go in dare not go in, and those who dare not go in are afraid.

Fighting and killing just after coming back, and punishing the maids in his house, what is it if it is not killing chickens and monkeys?
Now that he made such a move, he still didn't allow anyone to see him, thinking that the second young lady was trying to make some big move.

Even Wu's side felt a little strange after hearing the news.

Regardless of what people inside and outside the mansion think, few people know that this is what Zhang Tingyu meant.

Gu Huaixiu fell asleep until it was dark, and Zhang Tingyu called her out, saying that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he took her to enjoy the moon.

After all, today is different from the past, and Zhang Tingyu came back just in time for a family reunion.

A skilled craftsman from nowhere got a wheelchair to push the cart, and Gu Huaishu was pushed away by Zhang Tingyu himself.

At the banquet, the first Zhang Yingwu was still on the table, and the four sons were on the two sides below.

Together with Zhang Tingyu, Gu Huaixiu looked lazy.

She had greeted everyone politely before she had the opportunity to take a closer look at the current situation in the mansion.

There is no change between Zhang Ying and Wu Shi here, except that there is an extra maid beside Wu Shi, looking at the watery and beautiful eyes, she is clearly standing beside Wu Shi, but she feels that she is going to fly up.The woman of Wang Fushun's family stood behind the old lady honestly and without any sense of existence.

When Gu Huaixiu saw Wang Fushun's family, Wang Fushun's family also saw Gu Huaixiu.

She withdrew her gaze lightly, and looked at Chen Shi again, Zhang Tingzan was also there.It's just that there is a little doll carved in pink and jade between the two of them. Chen Shi looked at the girl with a light smile, but she looked like a loving mother, while Zhang Tingzan looked indifferent, not very warm to the girl.

In the second room, the maids, mothers-in-law, servants, and others are all as usual.

Little Chen brought a three or four-year-old boy over there in the third room, who looked very similar to Zhang Tinglu. He was already greedily holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, and his dark eyes were rolling around, as if he was afraid that people would find out. .Xiao Chen was talking to the maid behind her, but she didn't see it.Zhang Tinglu was pestered by Zhang Tingyu on the other side, and didn't notice the little guy's behavior.

Only Gu Huaixiu saw it.

Then the little guy looked over and saw that Gu Huaixiu had found himself, blushed and shy for a while, then silently put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake back on the plate, retracted his hands under the table, and buried his head, not daring to look at anyone.

Gu Huaixiu laughed out loud.

When Zhang Tingyu turned his head when he heard the laughter, there was nothing unusual about it.

He felt strange and looked at Gu Huaixiu.

Gu Huaishu asked him to listen to him, and even whispered at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"Is that your third brother's son?"

"What? His name is Ruo Ting, and he hasn't spoken yet. Did he provoke you?"

"No. Just for fun."

Gu Huaishu shook his hand, then pulled it away, swept it around, and said, "Everyone is watching, and you have to pay attention to the occasion when you bite your ear."

Zhang Tingyu laughed again, and gave her a piece of crab roe.

I don't know how many maids in and out of the hall, they haven't been here for several years, except for some old people in the house, not many people have seen the second master and the second young mistress.

When I heard that the second master came back, everyone was thinking, what kind of person is the second master, and what kind of person is the second young lady.

Seeing the second master now, he is really handsome and gentle in Yushu Linfeng, but it's a pity...

They all went to the second young lady alone.

I don't know how many girls have their hearts broken.

Now I saw that the couple actually whispered their ears in front of everyone, and they didn't shy away from the occasion. From the master to the uncle to the third and fourth masters, it was really strange that no one came out to speak.

Only during the mid-autumn banquet, who would not feel ashamed to see the beautiful second young lady?

Anyway, she is still a beauty who has been famous in the capital, Gu Huaixiu even dares to challenge Ban Xishi with her plain face.

Hetian jade's begonia hairpin is on her head, but it is not as good as her. Her skin is as smooth as snow, and her hair is black silk.

Crimson lips, crimson hands, green hair, blue eyebrows...

Feel free to pile up those beautiful words on her, if Gu Huaishu hears it, he will follow it without guilt or blush.

She came out after dressing up, and when she was doing her makeup in the mirror, she said to Zhang Tingyu: "Look at me today, how many eyes are coveting my second master in the house, and if anyone comes up to show off to us Shake in front of the second bedroom, then don't blame grandma for being rude to her."

People have self-knowledge.

Gu Huaishu has always felt that she is very self-aware, for example, she has always thought that she is very beautiful.

As for the capital that can be used, it must be used frankly.

Gu Huaixiu's thoughts are very simple, if anyone wants to meet her, and wants to go to Erfang's place and make her feel bad, she will make him bad, and beat him until he loses consciousness.

She is too lazy to care about good and evil.

Do you want to talk about good and evil with bad people?
Guest officer, are you awake?

Yes, go out and turn left to Yanwang Road, Yihong Courtyard is waiting for you!

Zhang Tingyu laughed when he heard her words at that time: "Although you work in the backyard, the Lord will support you."

At that time, she looked at him without speaking, but her eyes were sparkling.

The Jiangning Township Examination was a blockbuster. Even though Zhang Tingyu still retains his low-key and dirty habits, he is full of brilliance, like a sword out of its sheath or a precious light out of a box, and it can't be restrained.

Ok.

If you support me, then I can work hard.

Now Gu Huaishu looked at the situation around him, but found it quite interesting.

After Zhang Ying said a few words on it, he said directly that the banquet was about to begin. The red moon climbed up from the wall and slowly rose, and every family was enjoying the moon and having a happy gathering.

Wu's side was not very happy, she almost picked up two chopsticks, and then shook off one chopstick.

Zhang Ying couldn't help asking her: "What's wrong with you today?"

Putting down the chopsticks, Wu cast a glance at Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu, with him and his wife around, they couldn't even eat.She remembered the Taoist's words, when Zhang Tingyu was said to be in the middle of the exam a while ago, Zhang Tingzan coughed once, and it took a while to recover.She quietly asked Miaoci to go outside to find a Taoist priest to settle the matter, but in the end she said she was restrained.

Now that Zhang Tingyu came back with Gu Huaixiu, the two evil stars gathered together, didn't they want to restrain them from the whole house?
Wu's heart is full of worries, but she knows that Zhang Ying hates the theory of ghosts and gods, and always asks someone for fortune-telling in secret, and now she dare not tell Zhang Ying.

She only forced a smile and said: "Isn't it hard for me to see the whole family sitting together for dinner, so I am happy?"

After hearing this, Gu Huaixiu took the half cup of warm wine that Zhang Tingyu handed over.

"Drink only half a glass. One is that you don't hold enough alcohol, and the other is that your leg disease is still unhealed. When you are fully recovered, you can ask someone to cook for you."

Zhang Tingyu had a doting expression, but also was as harsh as a stepmother.

Gu Huaishu felt that she was the abused stepdaughter, so she drank it aggrievedly, as if she didn't hear what Wu Shi said.

After listening to Wu Shi's words, others were ready to save face. In previous years, Zhang Tingyu was not there, and he never went home for the New Year. This year, Wu Shi said that he was happy, which obviously meant that Zhang Tingyu was back.

But when Zhang Tingyu talked to Gu Huaixiu, it was as if he didn't hear him. The rest of the people were not good at expressing themselves, and the scene turned cold for a while.

How sharp is Zhang Ying?

He noticed it all at once, glanced at his wife, saw that she was a little unnatural, then glanced at Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu, and still didn't say a word, just said: "Now the second child and the second daughter-in-law are back, It is rare for everyone to get together today, let’s raise this cup to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

This time it was Zhang Ying's face, and no one dared not give it.

Zhang Ying also gave the second room enough face, and specifically proposed that Gu Huaishu was supported by the maid and drank half a cup before giving up.

When the banquet was about to end, Mrs. Chen suddenly called Mrs. Wu: "Mother-in-law, now that the second young lady is back, the second young lady handed over the butler's cards and account books to me. Now..."

"Now the second daughter-in-law is not in good health, I'm afraid she doesn't care about it?" Wu's face darkened, and she looked at Gu Huaishu with concern.

Gu Huaishu is busy raising his legs now, so he won't talk to these two people for the time being.

It's autumn, and the grasshopper won't be able to jump for long.

Gu Huaishu smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is right with the third sibling. I am not in good health now, so I will be taken care of by the third young lady first. As for the daughter-in-law... don't worry, don't worry."

No hurry, no hurry.

You will cry in the future.

What she can give away with her own hands, she can take back with her own hands.

Even if the person who owns it now is unwilling to give up in every possible way, what's the matter with her?
Take mine and send it back to me, eat mine and spit it out for me.

There is borrowing and repayment, the eternal truth.

Gu Huaishu took a look at Wang Fushun's family from afar, squinted his eyes and smiled purely, Wang Fushun's family stood beside Wu Shi, but shivered coldly, as if they were being targeted by snakes and scorpions.

If she had to use one word to describe Gu Huaixiu, maybe she would have no other ideas other than this word.

--poison.
