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

Chapter 13
Gu Zhenguan's reaction was not what Gu Huaishu expected.

She was shocked by Gu Zhenguan's anger, let alone Gu Yaofang.

In the backyard, Gu Yaofang leaned on the recliner, listening to the commotion outside for a long time.

She squinted at Qingxi: "Can you talk to that Taoist priest?"

Qingxi bowed her head: "I made it clear earlier, that Taoist priest is the one from two years ago. I am very happy to hear that Miss is still looking for him. At this moment, I am trying my best to shout at the front. I don't think so. bad thing."

Gu Yaofang curled her lips proudly: "I don't want to marry, how can I be forced to marry? Just relying on the Zhang family, is it worthy... You go down and continue to inquire about the news."

"Yes, miss." She turned and went out.

Gu Yaofang looked at her nails stained with impatiens flower juice, and couldn't help laughing, these people are idiots, maybe they think they can listen to their marriage matters.Her ambition is not small, with her own ability, how can she not get married?It's a dream to be married to the Zhang family!
People like the second son of the Zhang family had never been heard of in the capital before, but they had heard of some famous names, and they all said that Zhang Tingzan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, was a good person, so what was his second brother Zhang Tingyu?Such a person with no ability and no reputation, and seeing that his family is going to decline, should be allocated to Gu Huaishu. Didn't she say that this family is good here, and there is also good?
When she turned around, she would tell her father to see if the third sister would still be able to smile.

It is still unknown whether Gu Huaixiu can laugh or not, but soon Gu Yaofang will not be able to laugh anymore.

Qingxi quietly went to the front to inquire, and asked the young man to take a look, only to find out that something was wrong.

When Gu Zhenguan learned from old Xu Tou that the Taoist priest was coming again, he suppressed his thoughts for many years and finally fell out.

He threw away the pen, and went straight out the door. His steps were so fast that he didn't even see Gu Huaishu who hadn't left in time.

Gu Huaixiu looked a little terrified, flashing back to her mind what happened in Tongcheng before.At that time when Gu Zhenguan asked him to talk about Gu Huaixiu's marriage, his words were quite subtle.At that time, Gu Huaixiu just thought it was his own illusion, but looking at Gu Zhenguan's current posture, it doesn't look like someone who doesn't know anything.

She is a female family member, so it is not easy to go out to see, so she also sent Qing Dai to ask for news.

There has been a commotion in front of the gate. The Gu family is not a particularly powerful family, but at least the master of the Gu family is an official and a romantic scholar. He is well-known in the north and south of the country. Being an official is not very famous , what is even more powerful is its reputation among literati.

Because of this, everyone in Wuxi city knows the Gu family.

Two years ago, a strange thing happened to this Gu family. At that time, Lord Kangxi had just left on his southern tour, and a Taoist priest came to the door and said something was going to happen to his eldest daughter. As expected, something happened.But this matter, at least two years have passed, and it is not uncommon news that Miss Gu's family is sick. Unexpectedly, it happened again today.

A Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes stood in the open space between the two stone lions at the gate of the Gu family, facing the gate of the Gu family.

A small door was opened on the side, and many servants of the Gu family came out to watch the excitement, and many passers-by poked their heads to watch.

The Taoist had two broom eyebrows, a snub nose, small eyes, and was as thin as dry sticks. He waved his whisk and said, "What do you look at? The poor Taoist has already said that something must happen to your eldest girl, and she will die just by seeing it." Soon."

The surrounding onlookers were all discussing, and those who knew the cause and effect would say a few words like this, and after a while they said that the story had been spread far and wide.

When Gu Zhenguan came out, he saw so many people surrounded by this afternoon, and remembered what happened in the mansion over the years.

He didn't want to say anything about Yaofang, one reason was that her mother preferred Yaofang before she was alive, and didn't like Gu Huaishu very much. The deceased wife was a good wife and mother who was well educated and reasonable. Because of her, Gu Zhenguan obeyed Yaofang in everything. Some.Sister Kuang Fang's health is not good, and it's not all a lie.

But this matter about the Taoist priest happened once two years ago. At the beginning when she was making a fuss, Gu Zhenguan knew what was going on in her heart, but she still didn't expose it. it is good.But the matter of discussing marriage with Zhang's family was understood by Gu Zhen.

With a "squeak", the sound of the door opening was particularly sour.

Gu Zhenguan stood expressionlessly on the steps of the gate, with a pair of cold eyes embedded in a wrinkled face.

When the Taoist below saw Gu Zhenguan, his eyeballs rolled and he shouted: "Master Gu, do you still remember the poor Taoist? Two years ago, the poor Taoist passed by your Gu family's mansion, and saw that there was a sense of disaster here. Back then, the poor Taoist Counting with your fingers, to resolve the disaster for the eldest girl, now that the poor road passes by here again, there is a cause and effect, and then do the calculation for the eldest girl, but another disaster is about to happen—"

This Taoist is really eloquent, and his speech is very smooth, as if he read it from a book.

Gu Zhenguan stood and listened for a while, but turned around and said, "Old Xu, get a pot of water from the kitchen."

Old Xu was stunned, recalling his master's face in the room just now, he was a little scared, he hesitated: "Master, this..."

"Go as soon as I tell you, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Gu Zhenguan didn't even raise her eyelids, and didn't even look back at all, just listening to the Taoist priest in front of her talking gaudyly.

"Things in this world, there is a cause and an effect, and there is a cause and an effect. The misfortune between me and the eldest girl is the cause. Today, I came to the Gu family mansion again. It is the consequence. It is the so-called cycle of cause and effect, and it is said that retribution is not good... ..."

This man spoke very smoothly, he uttered one wave after another, everyone was confused and felt that this man's tongue could bloom flowers.

It's just that Gu Zhenguan was unmoved, and after a long time, a slight smile appeared on his face.

After a while, old Xu Tou came back, holding a pot of dirty shabu-shabu water, "Master, it's here."

The Taoist priest suddenly stopped talking. Why is the development of this matter so different from what I imagined?

Last time, he rescued the eldest girl of the Gu family. It stands to reason that the Gu family should have regarded him as a guest of honor long ago. Why did he see himself yelling outside for a long time, instead of saying a word, he even looked at him with a smile. what?
Gu Zhenguan waved his hand: "Splash it on me."

Splash on me.

splash? !

Old Xu's eyes widened, did he hear correctly?
Gu Zhenguan turned around and saw that old Xu was really dull today, but he was a little impatient, so he raised his hand and snatched the wooden basin: "If you don't splash it, I'll do it!"

After finishing speaking, he poured the basin of water in his hand on the Taoist priest standing under the steps.

This development is also really bizarre.

"哗啦啦" There was a sound of water, even if the Taoist priest knew something was wrong, he could avoid it, not to mention standing close, the water splashed out was not a bunch, but a piece, and he was drenched all over his body immediately Soggy.

This is all the water in the pot. Looking at the black, black, yellow, and yellow pieces, the Taoist priest yelled a few times, full of panic: "What are you doing! What are you doing! I came to save your girl with good intentions, you Pay back your kindness and repay your revenge, this will be retribution!"

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about, bastard!"

Old Xu didn't realize it before, but at this moment he finally came to his senses. Anyway, this is still in front of the Gu family's mansion, so why should he be punished?The neighbors in this neighborhood are all watching, and after hearing these nonsense, no one can make people laugh!
"You're so dumb! Why are you pouring your Daoist's dirty water?! Is there any law of heaven, is there any law of the king?!" The Taoist's nose was so angry that he looked straight at the seven orifices that were about to smoke.

His body smelled very strong, and everyone around him covered their noses and backed away, with disgust in their eyes.

Gu Zhen looked at him and put her hands behind her back: "If you don't leave, I'll have someone beat you out."

"you!"

The Taoist priest is a bit harsh and introverted. He was originally ordered by the eldest girl of the Gu family, and he did the same trick again. As long as he shouted here, Gu Yaofang would cooperate. What's more, two years ago, the Gu family regarded him as a God, he still expects to go in to eat and drink, how could he expect to encounter such a disaster today?
Come here, I didn't say anything, but I was splashed all over my body!
What the hell is Gu Yaofang doing!
It's really going to drive his Daoist crazy!
Can't be provoked, can't hide.

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, okay! You are the one who cares about the family and is unrighteous, let's see how the heavens will repay you! Today, Daoist, I don't want to care about you, the wicked will have their own rewards! Let's read the songbook while riding a donkey!"

"Boom!"

Gu Zhenguan was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the quack warlock, so he threw the wooden basin out with a flick of his hand, and was about to hit the Taoist priest.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Taoist priests dare to talk nonsense?He shrank his neck, and ran away with his robe in his hand, cursing as he ran: "Old man, neither you nor your girl will end well, you old and stinking bastard!"

Gu Zhenguan stood there but didn't respond. Old Xu was dizzy with anger: "Master, this stinky Taoist priest is full of nonsense, why don't I teach him a good lesson."

"Ugh……"

Gu Zhenguan shook his head, and just waved his hands casually, seeing that the people in front of him were still standing here watching the fun, and he didn't know how others would spread the word about the Gu family.Originally planning to betroth Sister Fang to Second Young Master Zhang, he may not have thought of probing, since his daughter's family is weak-minded, he was afraid that his speculation would hurt the relationship between father and daughter. Careful, now it seems, is a big mistake.

"What are you chasing after, let's go back home."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, dragged his exhausted body, stepped into the gate, passed through a corridor, and headed towards the backyard.

This time, Gu Zhenguan threw away the Taoist priest.Gu Huaixiu never thought of it, she heard Qingdai describe this matter vividly, and only laughed at her: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, it's like opening the eyes of heaven to speak so vividly, let's see how proud you are!"

Qingdai's eyes were shining brightly: "The servant girl thought that the master must eat delicious food and drink for that old liar, but I didn't expect to serve a pot of hot pot water. Hey, miss, what do you think the master thinks?"

What do you think?It's nothing more than thinking about it all at once.

Perhaps Gu Zhenguan originally thought that Gu Yaofang could be saved, or thought that the matter was not so serious, even if she had a relationship with someone in private, it would not be a hindrance to marry.However, Gu Yaofang was afraid when she mentioned getting married, but it was not an ordinary resistance.From this, Gu Zhenguan would naturally think of going to a worse place.

Gu Huaishou rubbed the string of red agate lightly with his fingers, lowered his eyes and covered the dark light in his eyes: "Where did the master go?"

"It is said that he went to the East Courtyard." Qing Dai replied, and added to the previous question, "What are you going to do, Master?"

Gu Huaixiu smiled: "I'm afraid they didn't think of this matter even more than I did. There are plenty of people around."
