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

Chapter 130
"Don't order it, the kang table will be worn out."

Gu Huaishu looked at Zhang Tingyu's little movements, one head and two big, and the noise made the child unable to sleep. She held a rattle in her hand and wished she could throw it on Zhang Tingyu's body.

The child is almost one and a half years old now, and his arms and legs are beginning to gain strength. As soon as the weather warms up, he changed into small clothes for the child, and did not continue to be restrained with swaddling clothes.

The fat guy stretched out his hand to grab the thing in Gu Huaishu's hand, his black and white eyeballs turned with his mother's dangling hand, both sides of his cheeks were full of loose fat, but the two lumps of flesh were white and rosy Indescribably beautiful.

Zhang Tingyu stopped clicking the name for a moment, feeling upset.

"In the past, I didn't know that I was such a narrow-minded person."

"It's okay if you don't know, I've already seen your true face." Gu Huaishu said casually, hugging the fat man and letting him stand on the mat, walking forward tremblingly, "When will our son Can you learn to walk?"

"Why don't you ask me when I will be named on the gold list?"

Zhang Tingyu frowned, disliked his son very much.

Now he feels that Gu Huaishu's words are true, ugly, ugly, ugly!Dare to rob his mother from his father, it's a shame!

Looking at the word "Wang Yi" written on it, Zhang Tingyu looked at the pulp of his ring finger, which was stained black by the ink from the tea. He smiled and even made a fool of himself and directly wiped it on the fat man's face. : "Come on, little fat man, Daddy will draw a face for you!"

When Gu Huaishu didn't pay attention, Zhang Tingyu had already wiped the little fat man's face with two fingers, turning the fat man into a fat cat.

"Wow-"

Fat brother burst into tears immediately, struggled to make a fuss, and even jumped on his father with all his strength, and was about to turn over the kang table to "duel" with his father.Gu Huaixiu scolded Zhang Tingyu for being a troublemaker, and he was only happy when he made the child cry from time to time.

"Zhang Hengchen, try touching my son again!"

"So what if I touch him? It's like he's not my son... I just painted him face? Isn't this pretty? It's almost like a cat."

Zhang Tingyu laughed, seeing his son's funny look, he couldn't control it.

Gu Huaixiu spat at him, "Shameless! Turn around and let my son recognize me or not, come on son...call me mother, mother..."

"Whoa whoa whoa..."

In the past, this kid could say something like "Niao" and "Mother", but now he just cries and has no other voices at all. Gu Huaishou only thinks that Zhang Tingyu is too annoying.

But Zhang Tingyu sighed: "I don't know who says the child is ugly one after another, forbids others to say that the child is ugly, and says the child is fat one after another, and feels that it is better to be fatter after comparing with other children... I don't know. Who, I used a brush to draw a big painted face on my child a while ago, and now I want to say that it's wrong for me to draw a painted face on my child... Tsk, it's really amazing for a mother to treat her like this!"

While Gu Huaixiu coaxed the child, he just made sarcastic remarks on the sidelines, without the slightest psychological barrier.

Gu Huaixiu was crying in her heart, she was the one watching Zhang Tingyu coaxing the child a while ago, and she was laughing on the sidelines, it's true that evil comes with evil, she deserves to be unlucky!
"Hey, darling, you are the most handsome, little fat man, handsome guy won't cry, darling, if you keep crying, you will become ugly..."

"Wow... woo woo."

It stopped for a while and became quiet. There were a few "gurgling" sounds, which were the unknown sound coming out of the child's throat. His wet eyes looked at Gu Huaishu: "Aunt... Aunt... Jun... Jun ..."

Gu Huaishu: "..."

Who gave birth to this child!come out!I promise not to kill you!
What is the reason for this?
A one-and-a-half-year-old child turns ugly as soon as he cries, and stops crying immediately. This child must have become a sperm, right? !

Usually speaking and other abilities are the same as ordinary children, sometimes it is stupid, and sometimes I feel that this child's sense is very accurate.For example, now, Gu Huaishu believes that the children can't understand what they are saying, they only have a vague consciousness, but he is very accurate in showing this consciousness.

Children like to be beautiful.

Gu Huaishu looked at the kid's colorful face, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"When you grow up, kid, I will definitely let you lose weight..."

Her "Fat Boy Weight Loss Plan" is still being planned...

The results of the general examination were released, and the whole capital was bustling with excitement. The people on the list at least kept one who was from the same Jinshi background. The top three were usually the top three in the palace examination gold list, and there would not be much change.

So everyone who should be happy now is very happy, especially Wang Yi.

Last year, he just won the first place in the Jiangning Township Examination, Xie Yuan, and this year he will receive the number one prize in his pocket, which can be said to be very proud.

The day after the announcement, Wang Yi, the son of a squire, invited people to drink at the Dafutang restaurant, and specially handed the invitation to Zhang Tingyu's house.

Zhang Tingyu read the invitation, and a smile appeared on his face, and he asked Gu Huaishu: "Do you think I will go or not?"

"Love will not go."

Gu Huaixiu raised his eyebrows, but turned back, "But... can you bear it?"

That's right, Zhang Tingyu couldn't bear it.

He still wants to be an official, but now he doesn't know anyone, where will he go in the future?
So he was just unhappy for a while, and he still wanted to go.

After Zhang Tingyu left, Gu Huaishu thought about it and took the child to see Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Chen knew that today was the first time that Gu Huaishu hugged her fat brother to see Mrs. Wu, and she was also sitting and waiting in Mrs. Wu's room today.

It's just that Gu Huaishu felt awkward, so she took the child to greet Wu Shi, and then let Wang Fushun's family take the child to Wu Shi's side.

Wu said kindly: "Second daughter-in-law, please sit down first, ouch, the fat grandson came to see grandma, have a look..."

The fat guy was not very familiar with Wu Shi, but he didn't seem very scary, so he bit his finger lightly and looked at Wu Shi.

Ever since brother Ting was gone, Mrs. Wu was like a beaten eggplant. She had only visited her a few times after Gu Huaishu gave birth to fat brother, and she seemed to know that what she had done in the past was sorry for her second daughter-in-law. , and dare not look at it.

After more than a year now, she finally hugged her grandson for real, and she burst into tears.

Gu Huaishu sat on the side silently, watching Mrs. Wu wipe her tears and tease the child. She glanced at Mrs. Chen who was sitting on her left. Mrs. Chen also looked at Fat Brother enviously.

The three women in the backyard sat together calmly for the first time, just because of this fat guy who was born only two years ago.

Although the fat guy is still as fat as a ball, but Wu only treats it like a baby lump, coaxing the fat guy to ignore others.

The fat man stretched out his hand to grab a jade ring worn by Mrs. Wu, so Mrs. Wu stepped back and let it be held, saying: "You can hold this thing, you can't put it in your mouth, you can't put it in your mouth. Be careful, put it where the little doll can't see..."

Gu Huaixiu saw that the jade ring was a very beautiful topaz, and he didn't know how many years Wu Shi had worn it. The fat man stretched out his hand and touched it so lightly that Wu Shi took off the ring. She couldn't help it. A little anxious: "Old lady, such a precious thing, you..."

"He's just a kid, it doesn't matter if he plays with things. If the fat guy doesn't like it later, you can send it back to me... right, the second grandson is just a good boy..."

Mrs. Wu called him his second grandson only because there was a Brother Ting in front of him.

Gu Huaixiu finally stopped talking, and Chen patted her hand lightly, which meant the same thing.

The two women just watched like this, and waited until the sun was about to set, and they wanted to take the child back to nurse. The old lady reluctantly put the child back to Wang Fushun's house, and then let Gu Huaishu take it away.

As for Zhang Tingyu, today is exciting enough.

Wang Yi entertained the scholars of Jinke in a restaurant, and everyone wanted to give him this first name.

According to the rules in the imperial examination field, people with lower nouns should call out respectfully when they see someone with a higher ranking than themselves. Although Zhang Tingyu is the fourth, he is also the son of a Dongge University scholar, and there are three people with higher rankings than himself Gao, Wang Yi is the most difficult one. No. 2 Ji Yu and No. 3 Wang Lu, at least they still considered Zhang Tingyu's identity when they talked, but Wang Yi was cut off by Zhang Tingyu in the examination room before, and now seeing Zhang Tingyu coming, he spoke impolitely stand up.

Wang Yi is not an idiot, he specially handed the invitation to Zhang Tingyu's house, just waiting for Zhang Tingyu to come.

I thought that Zhang Tingyu would definitely have scruples, or refused to come because of shame, but now he came?

Isn't this brainless, just looking for humiliation?

Holding the wine glass, Wang Yi sneered, and put it on the table: "I thought Second Young Master Zhang didn't come because of his noble background."

Zhang Tingyu heard such a sentence just after entering the table. Fortunately, he had expected it a long time ago. He knew that Wang Yi was going to bully others, but what could he do?There is something to give and something to gain, Zhang Tingyu has to give up some things in order to get something.

He smiled without changing his face: "Grandfathers have been born in imperial examinations for generations. How can there be any saying that they are born noble or not? Now everyone is white, princes and generals, why don't you have kindness? It can be seen that today's wealth, Back then, he was no more than a commoner, but now he is noble for a reason."

Wang Yi's face suddenly became ugly.

This is an overt and covert satire on him for not paying attention to what he said. Who can say that Zhang Ying's high-ranking officials and generous salaries came from the imperial examinations for personal gain?
Nian Gengyao on the side is also from a relatively good background among so many people. Normally speaking, there are very few poor people sitting here. After all, studying is also a matter of money, and one cannot afford it without money.

There are people with full army flags, people with Han army flags, and even ordinary Han people. There are people with higher backgrounds than Zhang Tingyu.

As soon as Wang Yi opened his mouth, he almost offended people with better backgrounds than him.

Zhang Tingyu was not very happy at first, but after hearing Wang Yi's own death, he smiled slightly.

This Wang Yi is good at everything, but he can't hold his breath, and he is not sophisticated enough. Presumably, he still doesn't know what officialdom is.

On the other hand, no one with a bit of IQ answered Wang Yi's words, but Wang Yi suddenly became embarrassed.

After a while, Wang Yi raised his head and drank a glass of wine before saying again: "Although I, Mr. Wang, treated guests today and won the first place in the examination, everyone knows that Mr. Wang is not the first to hand in the paper. Mr. Zhang Er He was the first one to turn in the test paper, although he didn't win the first place, why don't we make a toast to the first one to walk out of the examination room?"

Nian Gengyao had already heard that Wang Yi was going to confront Zhang Tingyu today.

Nian Gengyao is also on the list of this subject, but he is only 21 years old this year. Compared with many old students who are two or three times his age, his literary talent is naturally slightly inferior, but when he was young, he could After passing the test, how glorious is it?

Who of the people sitting here would say that apart from Wang Yi, he is the most powerful?
Zhang Tingyu, who was the first to submit the paper, failed to win the first prize. In fact, these two things did not match at all, but the person who finally won the first prize was Wang Yi, who was the second to submit the paper. Isn't this a problem?
Now Wang Yi feels that Zhang Tingyu is stealing the limelight, and he wants to regain the limelight on such an occasion.

Zhang Tingyu raised his glass as if nothing had happened: "Then thank you all, drink this cup to the brim—"

Everyone toasted cooperatively, but Nian Gengyao looked at Wang Yi and felt that Wang Yi was going to be in trouble.

No.2 Ji Yu was not very happy. He laughed after finishing his drink, and said, "I think Mr. Zhang Er is quick-witted, which is not something ordinary people can achieve. I hand in the paper when it is close to closing. Sincerely A toast to you."

Ji Yu stood up, toasted Zhang Tingyu with both hands.

Zhang Tingyu didn't expect that there are still people who appreciate him, and he doesn't feel that he has no real talent and learning.

In fact, after the rankings were released, many candidates' answer sheets flowed out. Because Zhang Tingyu was the first to hand in the papers and also ranked very high in the general examination, many people paid attention to Zhang Tingyu's answer sheets.

Looking at it, some people can see the depth and feel that Zhang Tingyu's answer sheet is at least equivalent to Wang Yi's answer sheet. There are not a few people, and Wang Yi is domineering, while Zhang Tingyu is humble, without the arrogance of a high-ranking official and rich family, which is very heart-warming. I have a good impression and want to make friends.So when Wang Yi cut Zhang Tingyu's face, naturally many people who didn't like Wang Yi came out to disrupt the situation.

Ji Yu is one of them. He thinks that Wang Yi is a mediocre person, and if someone is ahead of him, it shouldn't be him.

So now Ji Yu directly saves face for Zhang Tingyu, because he just doesn't like Wang Yi.

But Wang Yi didn't know what to do, so he continued to satirize Zhang Tingyu.

Wang Lu, the No.3 next to him, echoed Wang Yi, and said, "It doesn't mean that the answer is good when you hand in the paper, brother Wang is the real skill!"

Wang Yi laughed out loud immediately, and then said: "I have raised two actors here, named Shuangbaicai. They came out today and played a song for everyone. Everyone is very happy."

So he clapped his hands, and two actors dressed as dan roles walked out from the inside, with soft eyes but Adam's apple, they were out-and-out men.The style of courtesans in the capital was very popular for a while, and it was not uncommon to bring actors in and out. These were all playing the roles of husbands on the stage, and their looks were much better than those of the daughters in brothels, so Wang Yi I like it very much.

The skinny scribe Zhang Tingyu saw before gave him a headache. Before the palace test was over, he exposed his masculinity in front of so many people. This man sighed and stepped forward to pull Wang Yi: "Wang Brother, this is the capital city, and in front of so many people, don't act like this..."

Wang Yi was immediately unhappy when he heard it, and shouted: "Bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Tingyu lowered his head, and continued to poke the brocade tablecloth with his ring finger, lightly dipped his finger in the wine, and wet a small piece of the crimson tablecloth in front of him.

He remained silent, but Nian Gengyao still felt that Zhang Tingyu's actions at this time were very abnormal.

Nian Gengyao couldn't tell what it was like, he concluded that the reason why Zhang Tingyu was unusual might be only his second young mistress.As early as when Nian Gengyao was young, he had seen Gu Huaishu. At that time, Nian Gengyao was only twelve or thirteen years old. He bent his bow and shot down the parrot, and Mrs. Zhang was standing next to the fallen parrot. Does not change color.

Not to mention the current Second Young Mistress Zhang.

What kind of teapot matches what kind of tea lid, and a man who has been in love with a woman like Mrs. Zhang Er for eight years is definitely not a dull vulgar person.

In other words, Mrs. Zhang Er is a villain who must take revenge, and this Second Young Master Zhang is definitely not very noble.

Everyone in the restaurant was quiet, and then saw the subordinates brought up paper and pens.

The skinny man who just persuaded him couldn't get rid of his face: "Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yi sneered: "Brother Fang Bao, if you persuade me, I will show you my ambition!"

After finishing speaking, he buried his head and wrote a poem in a single stroke, and someone chanted: "Wang, the number one scholar in the waiting room, told Linggao to avoid giving light; Shuji Nansha, or Xitang, when it is dark and rainy , so what's the problem? Shuangshuang cabbage, go to the school all day long!"

When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed, and some of them didn't know what to say.

How could Wang Yi be so unrestrained?

Although there are many people who play petty officials, but to such an extent, it is really difficult for them to openly write poems about this matter!

Zhang Tingyu pointed for a while, then suddenly stopped.

He didn't say anything, he just went to visit Zhou Daoxin after today's banquet, and Liao Fengyuan who was in the capital again.

Within a day, Wang Yixie played two actors, loved masculinity, and even wrote poems satirizing his friends, spreading it in the name of "beautiful talk", but I don't know how many people despised him in their hearts!

Pity his friend Fang Bao, who worked hard to persuade him for his friend, but was ridiculed by Wang Yi instead, and was depressed for several days.

All of a sudden, the streets were full of news related to the examination of this subject, but Zhang Tingyu's answer sheet caused a lot of suspicion in the capital.

Everyone thought that Zhang Tingyu's answer sheet was better after a careful taste, so why did people like Wang Yi be given the first place?
Xiong Cilu, the chief executive officer of the examination, was also upset. After all, this person is the Prince's retainer, and he handed him the papers early on. Xiong Cilu is Suo'etu's accomplice, so he naturally helped the Prince. Now The crown prince wants to promote Wang Yi and Wang Lu, so he can only follow suit?
Although he was questioned, Zhang Tingyu didn't fail the ranking, and Zhang Ying didn't pursue himself, so he simply gave him the shoes?With?Then it passed.

In a blink of an eye, it was the palace examination at the beginning of April. The palace examination was proctored by the emperor, and the examination room was in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.

This was Zhang Tingyu's first time entering the palace, the majestic gate of the Forbidden City was completely opened towards him at that moment...

Zhang Tingyu followed all the high-spirited scholars, along the corridor of the palace road, passed the wide square of white jade steps, and lined up on the left and right sides. Zhang Tingyu stood in the second row on the right. Wang Yi and Wang Lu.The single ranking is on the left, and the double ranking is on the right. Waiting for Kangxi to come, we can hand in the paper after bowing together.

Lord Kangxi stood high on the steps and glanced at the many scholars below. His eyes showed the wisdom and depth of an emperor through the ages.

Zhang Tingyu bowed his body towards the majestic Baohe Hall, folded his back, but closed his eyes slightly at that moment.

Every step from entering the palace to standing here silently waiting without saying a word is his ambition that has been brewing for more than ten years...

Are you really willing to only take the first place in the second class?
Walking down the steps into the Palace of Preservation and Seeing the shadow of Zhang Ying among the eight great scholars standing beside him, Zhang Tingyu glanced at Wang Yi in front of him again. Ji Yu seemed to feel that the ground under his feet was a bit slippery, and he couldn't stand firmly with him. Same.

The ground of the court hall is like this, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony is one of the three halls, so it is naturally the same.

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu chuckled slightly: "Brother Ji is standing still."

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, but then lowered his voice and said, "I'll wait and see the ranking of Second Young Master Zhang's imperial examination."

Zhang Tingyu couldn't hold back his lips, walked to his own seat in the front row, and waited for the answer sheet.

The imperial examination is also one day, during which time you are not allowed to leave the palace, you can go to the back and wait after answering the papers, the test is not stereotypes, but classics, righteousness and policy theory, in addition to memorizing, the brain must be more flexible, books alone are not enough.

Unlike taking a pen and writing during the test, today Zhang Tingyu sat quietly for an entire hour without moving.

Zhang Ying, as a scholar of Dongge University, assisted the emperor to come to the examination room.

Zhang Tingyu, the president of the examination, needs to avoid suspicion, but in the palace examination, everything is decided by the emperor, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

From a distance, he could see the back of his son sitting upright in front of the long table, very tall and straight.

However, Zhang Ying at that moment had an indescribable feeling.

An hour later, Zhang Tingyu finally picked up the pen and wrote down the first word.

The beginning and the end of the scroll are all stipulated. Every time the emperor is mentioned, the name of the emperor must be mentioned in each line?On, so need to calculate the number of words carefully, otherwise it will not be on.

However, Zhang Tingyu did not use coir raincoat grids for typesetting like others.

He already has a volume in his mind, he just needs to write it down.

An hour and a half later, Zhang Tingyu put down his pen and handed in the paper, which contained [-] ​​characters clearly.

Lord Kangxi was still reading at the back, when Li Guangdi suddenly saw a little eunuch coming in to call him, hurried over, and heard what the little eunuch said, he did not suppress his voice: "Really?!"

Everyone in the apse looked over, and Li Guangdi finally realized that his voice was too loud.

Kangxi raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "But what went wrong in the palace test?"

Trembling, Li Guangdi wiped the cold sweat off his brow, bowed and said, "Go back to Long Live Lord, there is nothing wrong, it's just that one examinee has already handed in the paper."

"Oh?" Master Kangxi frowned, "What time is it? Show me the answer sheet you handed in."

The answer sheet of the palace examination also needs to be affixed first, but there is no need to copy it in Yishu. The person behind will hand over the answer sheet and hand it to San Dezi, and San Dezi will pass it on to Kangxi.

People around were curious about what kind of answer sheet it was, but they couldn't see it at all. Even Li Guangdi didn't know who had handed in the answer sheet so early.

Sometimes handing in papers early is also a bad thing. It will give people a feeling that they don't pay much attention to the palace examination. Even if they are talented, they are still relying on their talents, and may not be liked by Long Live God.

Li Guangdi was thinking about it, but Kangxi above him was staring at the policy theory, but he hadn't spoken for a long time.

After reading it, Kangxi saw the handwriting, and suddenly laughed "haha" and said, "It's so interesting! It's really my talent who is a pillar of the Qing Dynasty. He is wise, calm and funny. Who can match this son? It's settled. , No. [-] on the gold list, this one is the only one! Hahaha..."
