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

Chapter 128 Fraud Case

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the sun is gradually becoming poisonous.

It's just that the people in Zhang's mansion looked at the fat guy, and saw that the guy was growing sideways.

Gu Huaishu also often stroked his forehead and sighed: "I should call him Slender Brother, maybe he can grow upright..."

In fact, it is not right to say that it is long horizontally, right?Most of them are fatter than ordinary children.

...Well, I gained a lot of weight.

Sun Lianqiao threw her the last recuperation prescription on the table, feeling a little helpless: "Couldn't the fat guy say that he grows sideways, didn't you see that the size and the size grow together?"

Gu Huaishu saw Qing Dai hugging the fat boy sitting on the porch to enjoy the shade, the boy kept spitting bubbles at the eaves, but he fell asleep.

"You can't say that he grows vertically. You have to say that he is ugly and fat, and he also grows horizontally."

There has never been a brother Ting in the house, and now the fat brother is still healthy, watching him gain weight day by day, Gu Huaixiu gradually felt comforted in his heart.

She sighed, got up and stretched, but said: "Don't talk about fat brother, I heard the news, and it was you..."

After many years in the mansion, Sun Lianqiao had no news about her stomach. Who would have thought that after taking care of Gu Huaixiu's child, she would actually have one.

Because Sun Lianqiao had to take her own pulse every few days, she didn't pay much attention when she first got the pulse, but within two days she was vaguely sure.But she was afraid that she would be happy for nothing, so she didn't say it, after all, she couldn't even tell the pulse at the beginning.By the time she revealed the news that she was pregnant, the child had already been stable for two months.

Seeing that this year's provincial examination is about to start, and the general examination is imminent, I'm afraid that when the national examination and palace examination gold medals come out next year, the child Sun Lianqiao will be born, and a double happiness will come, Gu Zhenguan is happy, and Gu Hanchuan is also happy.

Sun Lianqiao only blamed and said: "Second Young Mistress is a well-informed person, I was just about to tell you. I can take care of you here, and maybe I won't have time in the future, but if you have something to do, just come to me." .”

Sun Lianqiao's abdomen was already slightly swollen. Seeing her endure hardships in the past few years, she suddenly became happy and elated a lot.

Gu Hanchuan is just a fool, seeing that Sun Lianqiao is capable, he leaves everything to women, but Sun Lianqiao has no children, so he just rests with his concubine all day long.After all, now that Sun Lianqiao is finally pregnant, maybe Gu Hanchuan can calm down again.

She sent Sun Lianqiao away, and counted the days on her fingers, but she was already thinking about Fat Brother's catch.

When the weather was at its hottest, June's baby face changed as soon as it said it would change, and in a blink of an eye there was a heavy rain in the capital.

The waterline along the river soared, and several gates of the canal burst their embankments, washing away the passing salt boats. Thousands of white snowflakes of salt entered the water, and thousands of silver disappeared.

Soaked in water, what's the use of salt?

Zhang Tingyu now?Coming back from outside in the heavy rain, he brought back good news: "Luo Xuanwen did a good job...he is getting more and more vicious, and he is on par with Shen Chao."

Gu Huaishu covered the fat man's ears, and he hadn't been out of the house for a long time.

She thought this kid was afraid of thunder, but she didn't expect that he slept soundly.

Before entering the room, Zhang Tingyu took off his outer robe that was wet by the rainstorm, rubbed his hands together and walked in, put on a clean sky blue robe, and sat beside him, holding a teacup to warm his hands.

Gu Huaishu heard the continuous rain outside, and only said: "What did he do?"

Zhang Tingyu saw the fat man sleeping soundly, glanced at the rain outside the window, and said in a low voice: "You never imagined that the salt boats capsized on the river were all in serious condition. This time, the loss was heavy. I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood..."

"Luo Xuanwen's strikes are really ruthless. Shen Qi has only returned to Jiangnan not long ago, right? To give him such a heavy blow..."

However, Gu Huaixiu always felt that there was something wrong with Shen Chao's sudden return to Jiangnan at that time: "Didn't we suspect that Shen Chao was going back to deal with Luo Xuanwen? Even if he didn't know that there was Luo Xuanwen behind him, at least he knew that the Salt Gang was going to deal with him. But after he went back, there was no movement at all for a while, and it even gave Luo Xuanwen a chance to fight back..."

It's really not that Gu Huaishu looked down on Luo Xuanwen, if you want to fight Shen Chao, you can do it secretly, after all Shen Chaoming, Luo Xuanwen still has a little advantage.

But at the beginning, he was the defeated under Shen Chao, and now the possibility of defeating Shen Chao again is really not high.

Fortunately, Zhang Tingyu only took Luo Xuanwen as a ploy, not as his confidant. Zhang Erye sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and he might not know how to play tricks in the future.

As for now, Luo Xuanwen suddenly gained the upper hand, which really made Gu Huaishu very suspicious.

"Either Shen Chao is planning something, or he is being entangled in something..."

Which possibility is it?
Zhang Tingyu was also skeptical, although he was happy to see Luo Xuanwen's "battle report", regardless of whether he was taking advantage of someone's danger, at least it caused Shen Chao to bleed, this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.

"Don't worry, I heard shopkeeper Liao is coming this time. Didn't you go back two months ago? But I heard that the situation in Yangzhou is dangerous. Shopkeeper Liao wrote to me that he cherished his life, so he stayed Jining, seeing that Yangzhou is getting more and more chaotic, he decided not to go back. However, his wife developed a fever on the way, and it was cured this time, so she came back to the capital again."

In other words, "When shopkeeper Liao comes, he must know more than we do."

Gu Huaishu nodded. There is something that I have been thinking about for a long time, but I am still going to discuss it with Zhang Tingyu: "Now my mother-in-law likes the fat guy very much, and she always sends people to ask, what do you think?"

Zhang Tingyu stopped drinking tea just like that.

He glanced at Gu Huaishu: "Is she insane?"

"Okay." Gu Huaishu shrugged slightly, "That's why I don't know what to do... If you ignore it, she is Fat Brother's grandmother anyway, so ignore it, I'm afraid she will do something..."

After all, I am still worried.

This child, Gu Huaixiu really couldn't afford it.

Her indifferent behavior doesn't mean she doesn't care, and she doesn't reveal some emotions that shouldn't be revealed, lest everyone be sad when they think of the past.

She said nonchalantly: "If there is no problem with you, I think I will take the child to see her every few days. As long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't make things difficult for her."

It is also good for multiple people to hurt children.

Now that Zhang Ying has let Zhang Tingyu go, there is no rift between him and the Wu family. How honest is the Wu family now?Sending people to ask me pitifully all day long, and also making food and clothing for the children, what if Gu Huai does nothing?Caring about previous suspicions, she was afraid that someone else would poke her back.She doesn't care about it herself, but Zhang Tingyu is a person who will take the examination soon. This year's provincial examination is already in front of her eyes. After passing this time, it will be a brand new world.

She didn't want to make any mistakes at this juncture.

Zhang Tingyu didn't speak, just nodded, maids outside?I went to pick yuhe in the rain and put it in a porcelain jar filled with water. It looked delicate and lovely.

When He Xiang entered the room, Gu Huaishu saw a small lake in the distance, turned to look at Fat Brother, and tucked him in the quilt again.

"Qingdai, close the window, it's getting colder now, be careful of the fat guy freezing."

Originally, in the summer, because he was fat, his body was covered with prickly heat. The doctor prescribed a prescription and then gradually healed up. I didn't want the weather to turn cold today, and Gu Huaixiu was afraid that he would freeze...

A mother really has to worry about everything, and she is often more careful than others.

Seeing her staring at Fat Brother, Zhang Tingyu said: "Have you written today's letter?"

"wrote."

Gu Huaishu laughed: "I showed him the sword, gun, sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork today... When he catches Zhou, he will definitely be able to catch a good one."

Zhang Tingyu was almost amused by her: "Are you trying to make my father unhappy? We are a scholarly family, you are enough to name Xiaopang, and you want him to grasp the sword? Dreaming... come and wake up son Wake up, dad will show you something..."

He was about to push the fat guy with a pen, when Gu Huaishu saw it, he was annoyed: "He slept soundly, why are you bothering him!"

"The brat can't be shaken when he sleeps, you deserve to be scolded by your mother!" The important thing is that after the brat goes to bed, Zhang Tingyu has to restrain his hands and feet in everything he does, and is often scolded by his wife. Once he has a child, Zhang Tingyu feels that he is not caring. The sleeve is the only one.

Well, never was.

He said: "You sleep with him, who sleeps with me?"

Gu Huaixiu rolled his eyes angrily: "Impatient! I haven't settled the score with you yet. What were you trying to do just now? I have the final say on what my son is going to catch. Our son is a general!"

"Ha ha."

Zhang Tingyu deeply understands the essence of these two characters, and he only pulled the corners of his lips to look like he was about to smile: "If you can teach my Zhang family to be a general's grandson, my father will definitely be happy to die later... it's just that , it’s not that I despise the fat guy, he’s just a literati with a pen like his father..."

"Only shows and no customers."

Gu Huaixiu sneered, but when he turned around, he pinched the boy's arms and legs, and began to think again: "The child is too fat, it's puffiness, I always ask Sun Lianqiao if it should be reduced, and she told me that I The child is normal, and he said that he can't see the old at this time, and it doesn't matter if he is fat now... But I don't feel at ease..."

When he was just born, the baby was fat, and he laughed and scolded him for being ugly, but when he really started to grow sideways, Gu Huaixiu became depressed.

Thinking about it, it's still the child's own way of growing up, and as time goes by, Gu Huaixiu just occasionally comes up with such an idea.

She just hoped that nothing happened to him.

The husband and wife returned to their old routine of life, except for the addition of a fat doll and the fact that the doll was a little fatter, nothing changed.

The child is approaching his first birthday day by day in the notes his mother said about him every day that he was ugly and fat, as well as how much he had gained today and how much he had grown taller.

I can't go to the ground yet, but my wit has come out. When I see someone close to me, I will reach out to hug him. When my mother and father start arguing, I will giggle aside. As for the two of them when they are doing things...

Cough, at that time, the fat guy was usually watched by the nanny, so nothing serious happened.

June turned into July, and July turned into August.

In the blink of an eye, in the Shuntianfu Township Examination, there are many acquaintances in this year's Township Examination, the two sons of the Gu family, Gu Hanchuan and Gu Mingchuan, and the second son of Nian Xialing's family, Nian Gengyao...

If it goes well, everyone may have to participate in the test with Zhang Tingyu.

It's just that no one thought that there would be such a big problem in Shuntian Prefecture's provincial examination.

The rural examination ended in mid-August, and the results of the rural examination were released in early September. Countless people ran on the streets to tell each other.

Nian Gengyao was a successful young man with both civil and military skills. Although his personality was a little frivolous, his true talents and practical learning were never underestimated.

Everyone thought that the second son of the year must be on the list, and how could he be in the top ten in the provincial examination. How could he expect that one day, after sweeping the entire list, Sun Shan would lose his name!

According to Zhang Tingyu, Nian Gengyao was still drinking in the restaurant at that time, and he was still joking when the news came, but when he heard that he really didn't have himself, he didn't believe in evil, so he went down to look at it by himself, and was pissed off on the spot.

How could the second son of the Nian family believe that he failed the ranking?
Without even thinking about it, he went straight to the Tribute Court to examine the test papers, asked for the examiner's comment, and immediately sneered, holding a big ink brush and drawing the bastard on the examiner's face!

That night, the avenues of the two chief examiners of Jinke Shuntian Township Examination were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys!

The entire year-end of 38 was almost spent amidst the uproar of scholars.

As soon as the results of the Shuntian Township Examination were released, countless people with real talents and practical learning failed the list, but many children from wealthy and powerful families were on the list.Somehow, Nian Gengyao was placed in the category of "no power and no power", and he fell off the list.

One year, the second son of the family took the lead in making a fuss, and everyone refused to accept it, so they all appealed.

Finally, in the first month of the 39th year, Lord Kangxi sent a message. On the 28th, the scientific examination was held again at the Suncheon Gongwon, and even Lord Long Live went there in person.

On the first day of February, when the answer papers were sorted out and transcribed, they were ordered to review the papers again.

This time, Lord Kangxi was ruthless. Now that Zhang Ying has become a scholar of the Dongge University, he went to the South Study Room and became a confidant of the emperor. He brought back a large pile of answer papers for review.

Normally, the examiners who reviewed the answer sheets were the examiners and his staff and masters behind him. After this re-examination, Kangxi was worried and prepared to test the skills of his subordinates, so he even asked the officials below to approve the answer sheets.

Zhang Ying also had a bunch of them. According to the rules, Zhang Ying could also ask someone to approve them for him, so he simply asked Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan to go together.

Zhang Tingyu writes with spirit, and it feels really good to be the examiner to approve the answers to the papers.

Then he came back, and the next afternoon the emperor took it up and casually flipped through the reviewed answer sheets, and Zhang Tingyu became so famous.

Kangxi was not in a good mood at first, thinking about the messy things in Shuntian Mansion, he scratched his head all day long.

At any rate, I have passed the re-examination, and I have to take care of the officials below. Today, Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi handed in the reviewed answer sheets, and Lord Kangxi just went through them.

People are still in the garden, and the princes are watching with them, this time the matter is too serious, Kangxi reminded the elder brother below, asking them not to meddle casually.

Unexpectedly, while serving tea and drinking it, when he saw the marked answer sheet in front of him, he spit out half a mouthful of tea and almost choked.

Everyone was terrified, but the emperor laughed loudly, "Hahaha, this batch is really wonderful, it's really wonderful to deal with such nonsense articles!"

He threw the answer sheet down and asked San Dezi to show it to the ministers and princes, all of them burst out laughing.

Zhang Ying also looked at it and was stunned.

This is an eight-part essay that was finally rated as a fourth-class essay.

The title of Shuntianfu is related to "chicken".

But on the answer sheet it was written: Is it a black chicken?Is it a white chicken?Is it a chicken that is neither black nor white?
The blue pen on the back is the official grader's approval: reed chicken.

On the answer sheet, it was written: Is it a rooster?Is it a hen?Is it an unfair chicken?
Later, he approved the writing for the blue pen marking officer, saying: Capon.

When Zhang Ying saw the handwriting, her heart turned cold, and she almost vomited blood when she turned to the second half of the test paper!

The examinee in this answer sheet quoted a sentence from "Shangshu·Qin Oath", "I am ignorant and I think about it", but I don't know whether it was intentional or mistakenly written "My sister, I think about it", but the examiner saw that the examiner wrote a big pen and criticized it. Said: "Brother, you are wrong", and then directly ranked the fourth among the last three, unqualified!

Zhang Ying wiped off the cold sweat for a long time, holding back her words.

Li Guangdi turned around vigorously to hold back his laughter, and finally he couldn't hold it back. He laughed and said to Zhang Ying, "I handed in all my answer sheets after reading them. Old man Zhang Ying, you took a lot of them back yesterday. Even after the review, I haven't had time to read it! This must be the answer sheet from your side, I definitely don't have it here! I definitely don't have it!"

Kangxi hasn't encountered such a happy thing for a long time: "Don't say it, every sentence is to the point, and the brother and sister are still fighting neatly in the end, Zhang Ying, which staff member behind you approved it?"

"This this……"

Zhang Ying took out her handkerchief to wipe off her cold sweat, she has been doing this all the time, ever since she saw the handwriting on the answer sheet.

Kangxi and the others watched with interest, and the crown prince also laughed. Only the fourth brother among the elder brothers still kept a serious expression on his face.

"After all, the critic must be a quick-witted person, and he has never committed any crime."

Such a test paper is quite pertinent for the fourth class.

Only then did Zhang Ying breathe a sigh of relief, and said weakly: "In the old minister's mansion, only one eldest son has passed Jinshi, and the second son has passed Juren. These words should be written by the second son..."
