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

Chapter 118
Originally, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to take care of Shen Chao, but thinking about so many gifts, it would be a little bit...

What's more, Shen Qi really did save Gu Huaishu.

Ingratitude is something like this, even if you have a knot in your heart and are ready to do it, you always have to do it better in face.

Zhang Tingyu accepted the gift list and asked someone to write it down, and then went back again.

Seeing that Gu Huaixiu's expression was not very good, he was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

Gu Huaishu talked about Mrs. Chen's affairs just now, and Mrs. Wu's hand beads, but she said again: "I don't really want to take it, and I don't bother to think about it, so I asked my sister-in-law to take it back."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingyu waved his hand suddenly: "Ah De, immediately go out to chase the eldest young mistress, and say that the second master has changed his mind, and if he wants to take the hand bead, tell her to tell the old lady."

Ade was startled, a little confused.

Seeing him stunned, Zhang Tingyu reprimanded: "Hurry up."

This time, Ade seemed to be able to react, and trotted after him as soon as he bowed his body.

Gu Huaixiu hid doubts in his heart, and only said: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Tingyu's face was gloomy, he didn't speak, just sat on the other side of the kang table, and brought tea to drink.

After a while, Ade finally came back, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, "Master, the young lady didn't seem to expect that, she was a little hesitant when she gave it, and kept asking what was going on..."

"Let her ask." Zhang Tingyu didn't have much feeling for Mrs. Chen, he was just a good guy in the house, and what he cared about was only the few people around him, the most important thing was Gu Huaishu and the things in her belly Boy, he said, "Check the Buddhist beads and see if there is any problem."

Gu Huaishu finally understood, she was too lazy to pay attention to what Wu Shi was thinking, but Zhang Tingyu wanted to know what Wu Shi was thinking.

When Mrs. Chen came over, she said that she had checked the beads.

After all, this Buddhist bead came to Gu Huaishu through Chen's hands, so if something happened, Chen couldn't afford it, so he must read it with all his heart.

Before the final result came out, Gu Huaishu had already expected it.

Sure enough, Ade didn't find any problem when he almost removed the Buddhist bead.

Zhang Tingyu didn't know whether it was a sigh of relief or a sigh of relief.

He just said: "I don't know what she thinks..."

Gu Huaixiu said with a smile: "She didn't have a grandson. Now that I have one, it is naturally complicated. If it were me, I would like to strangle this child to death, but at the same time I can't help but want to see what it will be like when the child is born." The old lady must be at war with heaven and man now..."

Just because she was pregnant, Wu Shi was worried.

No matter how powerful, no matter how disgusting, what is born will always be the Zhang family's seed.

No matter how ignorant the old lady is, she still has some sincere feelings towards the third generation.

Now there are no bad-hearted people around her, and Wang Fushun's family help Gu Huaishu to keep a close eye on her, so it's hard for anything to happen.

She reached out and shook his hand, and said: "If you are worried, let's go to the temple tomorrow to burn incense, worship Buddha, and then ask a Taoist monk to come and see. I am pregnant, although I am I'm not afraid of tossing, but children are afraid."

Zhang Tingyu sighed, shaved her nose, and only pulled his lips and smiled coldly: "You just don't fight with her now, when the baby is born, I can already imagine you pinching her like crazy... "

"Am I exaggerating that much?"

Gu Huaishu pursed his lips and smiled, but asked again: "You went out just now, but what's the matter?"

"It's nothing more than receiving congratulatory gifts from a group of people, but the boys outside accidentally smashed things, so I asked me to go and see." Zhang Tingyu lied as if telling the truth, without blinking, "It turned out to be bad news. Ade was afraid that you might hear the heart-stopping news, so he didn't tell you. When I came back, I thought you didn't care much about these gods and ghosts, so it didn't matter."

"It's been quiet in the mansion these days. Next year's township examination hasn't started yet. I see that many people in Shuntian Mansion are busy, and there are still many people who come to our mansion to pass greeting cards to your father." Gu Huaixiu Thinking about it, I frowned, "I don't worry about anything else, just worry..."

"You are worried that my father will become the chief examiner again and block my way."

Zhang Tingyu laughed, and originally wanted to say "there is no rule of being the chief examiner of the examination for two consecutive terms", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to talk too much, so he shut up.

Gu Huaixiu said: "I thought, although it's unlikely, because you can at least take the exam, the second master should pay more attention, don't worry about how old my child will be after the birth, his father is still taking the exam."

This was so blunt, Zhang Tingyu laughed angrily at her, but after thinking about it, she said: "It should be planned."

There is also a useless favor from the old man Mingzhu, Zhang Tingyu thinks about it, but it is time to change his mind.

In the end it was the best possible.

In the 39th year of Kangxi, nothing happened.

The two of them rested tonight, and the next day they said they would go to the temple to offer incense.

They said they were offering incense to pray for blessings, but Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaixiu didn't really believe it. They just wanted to take a walk along the way. It's still the scenery of late spring, and it's pretty and pleasing to look at.

The old monk in the temple looked over the beads repeatedly, but told them that although the beads were made of ordinary sandalwood, they had a light fragrance, and each beads was extremely round, and it should be the one that has been rubbed many times in the hands of others. The people who originally held the beads were very sincere.

If there is this string of Buddhist beads, it can be regarded as a guarantee of safety.

When Gu Huaishu and Zhang Tingyu came out of the temple, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"Could it be that he really changed his temper?"

Gu Huaishu was always a little skeptical. She was walking on the road, and her body for more than three months was already showing a little bit, and her abdomen was slightly swollen, which could be seen.

Zhang Tingyu helped her to walk, and when he heard this, he only said: "What's the use for a while?"

He always kept in mind the prophecy that Mrs. Wu remembered very much. When he really became famous, Mrs. Wu would make a fuss.

It would have been fine if Zhang Tingzan had nothing to do at that time, but if something happened...

This house can be broken up.

Zhang Tingyu sighed secretly, but he didn't tell Gu Huaishu all this. He just smiled warmly, helped her into the car, and said, "The wife of shopkeeper Liao is already waiting for you at Yihuchun. Hui also hugged him, you should remember, we went to eat his child's banquet."

"I do remember that."

Gu Huaishu got into the car and got in, followed by Zhang Tingyu.

The handlebars drove the car all the way to Liulichang. It was still a gathering of literati and refined scholars. There were not many people under a pot of spring, but because many people were buying new tea this year, the shopkeeper was a little busy.

After Zhang Tingyu got out of the car, he directly supported Gu Huaishu and went upstairs, and he saw Liao Fengyuan and his wife Liu Shi playing with their children in the private room above.

Seeing Zhang Tingyu and the second young lady appearing, Liao Fengyuan smiled all over his face, and congratulated the couple together with Liu Shi who was holding the child: "Good things take time, and now you two are looking forward to it."

After greeting each other for a while, they entered the room to talk.

It's just that the things Liao Fengyuan and Zhang Tingyu want to talk about are naturally different from those of women. Gu Huaishu just sat on the side of Liu Shi, and the two of them looked after the children together. Liao Simian was still young and was bubbling. Wipe him with a handkerchief, very cute.

Gu Huaishu thought that his child would come out, maybe it would be the same, just like Xiao Yu'er, so he laughed.

But Zhang Tingyu and Liao Fengyuan have already gone out, "Yesterday I received a gift from Shen Qi, saying it was congratulations on my wife's happiness. I heard your people come and say that he is already in the guild hall?"

Liao Fengyuan nodded: "You two are now making me feel like a muddlehead. I have to deal with this today and that tomorrow. You said that you are the same, so why do you meddle in the affairs of our business gang with the material of being an official in the future? ?”

If Luo Xuanwen had disappeared, Shen Qi would have demolished most of the Yangzhou Salt Gang by now.

In the end, because someone obstructed him from behind and kept resisting, Shen Chao became very angry when he thought about it, and recently he also got angry in Wanqing Guild Hall.Yangzhou Salt Gang has the Yangzhou Guild Hall of the Salt Gang, which is diagonally opposite to the Wanqing Guild Hall.Shen Qi, sitting there with tea every day, telling people, "Sooner or later, I will let them know how powerful they are."

Who doesn't know that Shen Qi is a lunatic?

Now that the Yangzhou Salt Gang has more bosses than Shen Chao, they naturally feel the rapidity of Shen Chao's offensive, but there is also a problem, who is fighting against Shen Chao within them, and still like this spare no effort?
In short, now the Yangzhou Salt Gang is basically blind, and there are not many people who understand.

Liao Fengyuan thought about it, and said again: "Master Shen is at the guild hall now, you..."

"Yo, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence, and we actually met."

A chuckle suddenly broke in, Zhang Tingyu and Liao Fengyuan were standing outside, there were no outsiders around long ago, Shen Chiu was the president of the Wanqing Guild Hall, the top spot, wouldn't it be easy to get into a pot of spring?
He didn't know whether he really didn't expect it, or pretended not to expect it, and he looked like he "surprisingly" saw Zhang Tingyu, "I haven't personally congratulated Second Master Zhang on his happy birthday."

The child hasn't been born yet, Shen Qi just talks nonsense.

Zhang Tingyu laughed: "Master Shen was joking, and Zhang Er hasn't thanked you for the gift you sent yesterday."

Liao Fengyuan curled his lips secretly, and after thinking about it, he came out and said, "Since we're all here, let's drink some tea at another place?"

After speaking, he asked the boy to lead him to another room and sat down.

As a result, as soon as he sat down, Zhang Tingyu caught a glimpse of the boy next to Shen Chao, narrowed his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "The boy behind Master Shen really looks familiar."

Looking thin and weak in his teens, he was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary.

But there was a familiar feeling between his brows and eyes. After seeing each other for more than a year, Zhang Tingyu only said, "It's promising."

Shen Qi took the teapot in his hands, shook the pot gently on the stove, poured the tea on top of the teacups that were placed on the stove, came to "call the soldiers" once, moved leisurely, and said with a smile: "Everyone has his own aspirations, Why force it on people?"

"Master Shen is joking, Zhang Erke has never forced anyone."

Zhang Tingyu watched Shen Yang's movements of cooking tea, but his body didn't move, only the expression on his face changed slightly.

Who is the kid next to Shen Yang if he isn't the original Li Wei?

When Gu Huaishu had an accident, he was on the sidelines, but later Gu Huaishu disappeared, and he only managed to pull a piece of Gu Huaishu's sleeve in time, but failed to save anyone.

Later, he only said a word to Ade, and then left.

Ade said at that time that Li Wei said Wuyan stayed by the second master's side, so he found a way out by himself.

Unexpectedly, the way out turned out to be "Shen Chi".

Today Zhong Heng was also beside Shen Yang, so he came out to explain for his boss.

"Second Master Zhang, don't get me wrong. At that time, our boss was working hard to save his wife. The Cao Gang hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and he was angry in the garden. Then the boss said that there was a kid outside the garden who wanted to calm down. Grandpa took him in to do something."

Without him, this person would be Li Wei.

Li Wei listened and glanced at Zhang Tingyu, only to find that the second master was not looking at him.

He clenched his fingers, a little cramped and nervous.

But Shen Chao stretched out his hand and patted his head lightly, and said with a smile: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, each has his own choice, it's no big deal."

I don't know whether this was said to Li Wei or Zhang Tingyu.

Zhong Heng smiled and said again: "Master Shen has never been short of people. He heard that the boss said he was just a young child, and he didn't bother to talk to him. After working for a few more days, he heard that the kid was kneeling outside. That's it." I was interested. Unexpectedly, after careful questioning, it turned out that it was the boy who claimed to be the godson of Mrs. Zhang Er, so he was carried back."

Zhang Tingyu didn't speak.

He naturally remembered that Li Wei had been calling Gu Huaixiu godmother at that time.

It's just that what he is worried about now is not this, but...

When he rescued Luo Xuanwen back then, Li Wei jumped out of the window.

But I don't know if this kid Li Wei knew that it was Luo Xuanwen, and did he tell Shen Chao?
Shen Chao didn't seem to know about this, and with a calm demeanor, he just smiled and said, "Actually, this kid is very filial, when he came to me at that time, he said he wanted to save Second Young Mistress..."

What happened back then is still vivid in his memory, Shen Qi said that he wanted to take this kid as his subordinate, but in fact it was mostly a joke.

Unexpectedly, at that time, it was raining continuously for a month, and Li Wei was kneeling outside, definitely wanting to come to him.

In fact, in Jiang Ning at that time, only Shen Yang was the most capable person, able to mobilize all forces to search for people.

And Li Weixing may have taken a fancy to this.

only……

Isn't this kind of thing like selling yourself?
There is no turning back when you open the bow, and naturally there is no medicine for regret and no turning back.

Zhang Tingyu glanced at Li Wei, his expression was as calm as before, and he was calm: "Master Shen is a capable person, and he will definitely be able to teach this child well in the future. If he turns out to be a capable person, it will not be in vain for his godmother to love him for nothing."

Shen Qi's expression changed, but Li Wei buried his head deeply.

Zhong Heng saw that this kid might be doing something bad by staying here, so he said: "Go out and get two more teacups for Lord Shen."

"Yes."

Li Wei ran out in a hurry, but just as he ran halfway, he bumped into a maid serving tea outside.

There was a "pop", and the movement outside also alarmed Gu Huaishu.

She got up and came out, frowning, "What's the matter..."

This kid, Li Wei?

Li Weiyi Gulu got up from the ground, and when he saw Gu Huaishu coming out of this door, he was startled, and said in a dull voice, "Second, Second Young Mistress..."

Gu Huaixiu didn't expect it. Hearing Zhang Tingyu said that the kid ran away when she disappeared, she didn't expect to meet her face now. She was a little surprised: "Where did the kid come from?"

Shen Qi and the others over there also came out to look, but as soon as they walked around, they saw Gu Huaishu and Mrs. Liu here.

Only Li Wei stood in the corridor in a daze, unable to recover.

Shen Chi's eyes lingered on Gu Huaixiu's bright face for a while, but soon moved to her slightly swollen abdomen, his eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

He just said: "Second Young Mistress is really a lucky person."

Gu Huaixiu didn't feel well, so he stayed, and wanted to drag Li Wei in to talk, but Li Wei turned his head to look at Shen Chao.

Shen Yang snorted coldly, turned around and walked back, not bothering to answer.

Zhong Heng really couldn't figure out what Shen Qi was thinking this time, what kind of master is this? !

Is the subordinate still able to work?

Do you want him to see or not, whether you want to see him or not, you are happy or not, so why not give me a word?What is this procrastination?
What are you? !
Zhong Heng almost roared out, but years of experience following Shen Chao had already calmed him down quickly.

The recent Shen Qi is only [-] to [-]% weirder than in previous years, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

Zhong Heng comforted himself, and with a casual glance, he suddenly discovered the murderous intent that flashed across Zhang Tingyu's eyes.

In a daze, Zhong Heng shivered, but when he took a closer look, he found that Zhang Erye had already served tea calmly, and instead chatted with Shen Qi about interesting things in the market.

He glanced at Shen Chao, turned his head to look at Zhang Tingyu again, and remembered Gu Huaishu who just appeared...

A beauty is a disaster, Master Shen should be careful...

Can……

Thinking about the matter over there in the south of the Yangtze River carefully, wouldn't it be a long time ago?
