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

Chapter 14 Debunking
This time it is still a scene of coughing up blood, Qingxi has already prepared the blood-stained handkerchief for Gu Yaofang, and only waits for the person who is outside to listen to the news to report back, then immediately coughs up blood, and then goes to talk to Gu Zhenguan It is said that in this way, it will be a seamless magic show.

Gu Yaofang was leaning on the rattan chair, with a thin blanket covering her legs, looking weak, "Qingxi, how is it going outside?"

Qingxi stood outside the door, watching the news from outside. After hearing Gu Yaofang's words, she came over with small steps and replied: "There is no news yet. Miss, you are weak, just lie down for a while."

Waving her hand, Gu Yaofang sneered: "It won't be a big deal if you sit for a while, and you still have a lot of time to cultivate. Just go and see..."

"It's not good, it's not good, the master is coming this way!" Xuexin, the maid outside, hurriedly ran this way, talking without breathing, "For some reason, the master has a pot of hot pot water I threw the Daoist away, and now I am walking to our courtyard!"

When Gu Yaofang heard the words, she stood up immediately, and she couldn't care less about the blanket falling on the ground.

"How is this possible? It's a good idea to catch your breath!"

This news blew up the entire East Courtyard. If this is the case, what else would Gu Yaofang do?

At that moment, she was so frightened that her hands began to tremble, but it was Qingxi who went up and shook her hand, "Miss, don't worry, what does the matter of the Taoist priest have to do with the young lady? Please sit down quickly, the young lady got up in a hurry. It's not good to be dizzy for a while."

Although Gu Yaofang may not be very sick, she is delicate and frail, so she is not a rough girl like Gu Huaixiu.Just now when he heard the news, he stood up and trembled a few times, seeing that the maids in the room were terrified.

How could Gu Yaofang sit still? She had a guilty conscience and thought that the previous drama was flawless and all the tricks were exhausted, but she never expected that there would be problems with Gu Zhenguan.She resented for a moment, and she didn't know what the dead old man was thinking. He hurt her so much earlier, why shouldn't he do such a thing today?Where is the problem?

Thousands of threads intertwine in an instant.

Gu Yaofang passed a few faces in front of her eyes, and she didn't know which one to suspect. Before she could figure out why, she heard a burst of heavy footsteps outside, as if knocking on her heart.

She clenched her fingers tightly, forced herself to be calm, and with a sullen face, said: "Don't worry about it, Xue Xin will go out, Qing Xi will stay."

Confused, Xue bowed and walked out the door, unexpectedly bumping into Gu Zhenguan who was walking inside.

"Damn the servant, she retreated too hastily, and offended the master, I hope the master will forgive me!"

Xue Xin was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly, and she was not so flustered on weekdays, but today was always a little different from the past.

The moment Gu Yaofang saw Gu Zhenguan's face, the ominous premonition in her heart was confirmed.

She reluctantly hooked her lips, showing a pale smile: "Why is father here? My daughter is not well these days. I'm afraid that she will be ill for her father. Since father came back from Tongcheng, she hasn't visited her father yet."

Gu Zhenguan walked all the way, thinking a lot in her heart, originally Gu Yaofang was a well-behaved and sensible person, and others said she was virtuous and gentle, but it was by no means all falsehood, but now seeing her avoid flickering eyes, Gu Zhenguan's heart has already become clear.

Some things can happen once, but if there are too many times, it will be disgusting.

With a flat voice and without sitting down, he glanced at the servant girl Qingxi and said, "Go out."

Qingxi was a little scared, this omen is not good at all.

But what can I do?Why don't you stay here?Gu Yaofang also knew that it seemed that she couldn't do better.Her face was already pale, and she only said: "Qingxi, you go out."

Qingxi backed away tremblingly, and there were only Gu Zhenguan and Gu Yaofang in the room.

She glanced at Gu Zhenguan, suppressing her anxiety: "Why doesn't Daddy sit down?"

How could Gu Zhenguan sit down?

His own daughter has become like this. People say that it is the father's fault if he raises or not, but he asks himself that he is different from other families. He teaches his daughter poetry, books, piano and chess. They all say that a woman's ignorance is virtue, but Gu Zhenguan thinks that her daughter's family has nothing to do except "Female Ring". " also should know some other things.But he never expected to teach such a shameless thing.

Two years ago, Lord Kangxi made a tour to the south. At that time, Gu Zhenguan had resigned from office and retired to seclusion for several years. Sometimes he would go to the capital, but not very often. The whole family still lived in the south of the Yangtze River.Lord Kangxi still thought of Gu Zhenguan's good literary talent, so he summoned his family to meet him.Things, that's when they started to be unusual.

Sister Fang is getting closer to the age of leaving the court. Her mother died of illness in the early years, and she was still wearing a filial piety. She just came back from the capital not long ago, so she didn't talk about marriage.But seeing that there was going to be a talk two years ago, Sister Fang became even more difficult.

At that time, the south of the Yangtze River was lively, and the emperor was on a tour to the south. Everyone was happy, and there were lanterns and festoons everywhere. It was inevitable that some girls would go out to play.

As early as in the capital, the deceased wife had scolded sister-in-law, saying that she was a prostitute.At night, he accidentally asked his wife who was still alive at that time, and he sent his wife to say that Sister Fang saw Sister Xiu secretly meeting people at the back door, and they had a close relationship, and he didn't know which family they belonged to, and she was afraid that Sister Xiu would play wild outside. Affect the reputation of the girl's family, and said that sister Sister Xiu should be detained.

Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, Fa's wife died.

With this matter in mind, Gu Zhenguan actually didn't doubt it much.

But until two years ago, the emperor made a tour to Luan in the south, and Sister Fang couldn't afford to fall ill. At the same time, inside and outside Gu's house, there were rumors about Sister Sister's misbehavior, so Gu Zhenguan became suspicious.After finally getting through the filial piety period, which girl doesn't yearn to get married?But Sister Fang's expression changed when she talked about marriage.Once or twice, it doesn't matter, but if there are too many, he, Gu Zhenguan, is not a fool.

Two years ago, it was not without clues. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they snowballed over time.

Now, two years later, meeting such a good family as the Zhang family, it's not so much that Sister Fang doesn't want to marry, it's better to say that she looks down on the Zhang family.

So ambitious, yet unable to marry, unwilling to marry, where in the world is there such a good thing?
He has always been a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods. For Taoist priests, once, there may not be anything, but if the same method is used twice, it will be too revealing.

Gu Zhenguan thought a lot, finally sighed, and finally asked: "Sister Fang, I think the second son of the Zhang family is very good, I think you and him are a couple of golden boy and jade girl... ..."

"Daddy, my daughter doesn't want to marry." Gu Yaofang didn't expect that Gu Zhenguan came in to say this, and for a moment she forgot about the Taoist priest, and cut off Gu Zhenguan's words abruptly.

Gu Zhenguan finally fell silent, he looked at Sister Fang carefully, but Gu Yaofang understood in an instant.

She pressed the armrest of the rattan chair, trying to justify herself, her bright eyes like autumn water filled with a little moisture.

But Gu Zhenguan didn't give her a chance to speak: "I have always said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. People like me who are half buried in the ground can't interfere with you. I only hope that you are all good. But I was thinking, I'm afraid I can't..."

"..." Gu Yaofang lowered her head, but she gritted her teeth and hated secretly. She didn't know what Gu Zhenguan meant, she couldn't figure it out.

That Taoist trick didn't work, Gu Yaofang was so angry that she was full of resentment towards Gu Zhenguan, how could she want to listen to him rambling here?But it doesn't work if you don't listen, and you can't bear it for a while.

"Since you don't want to marry, I have written a letter to Zhang's family, and only pushed this one marriage, so you don't regret it in the future. You must know that regret medicine is hard to buy. Sister Fang, you should think clearly."

Gu Zhenguan was not used to being like other adults teaching their children, taking action at every turn, besides, he was just suspicious, maybe he had a little bit of hope, and he didn't want to think about it further.Over the years, I only watched Sister Xiu being open-minded, and allowed these rumors to spread. I don't want Sister Fang to be unable to see through and obsessed with obsession.

He continued: "In this world, when a man and a woman get married, they all pay attention to the four words of being well-matched. Although the lintel of my Gu family is not low, but in this Qing Dynasty, I am only a Han family. After all, it is not as good as a serious and dignified family. The family status is wrong. , marrying in is also a lot of hardships, Sister Fang, you can think clearly."

Sister Fang, you can think clearly.

Gu Zhenguan said this twice, he kept looking at Gu Yaofang, but Gu Yaofang just lowered her head.

Her palms were sweating, and usually she only felt that Gu Zhenguan spoke in a friendly manner, but today she always felt that these words were clichéd, with each sentence interlocking and interlocking, each sentence poking into the secrets of her heart.Gu Yaofang shook her hands, pretending she didn't understand the meaning of the words: "If the daughter is healthy, she is willing to marry, but now, marrying is just a drag on others, why bother to force the daughter?"

force?

Gu Zhenguan smiled suddenly, his old face was really unbearable, and he felt that this daughter was not his own after all, so he didn't know what to say, so he went out with a flick of his sleeves: "You can do it yourself, those Taoist priests, don't recruit her at home anymore. .”

The first few words didn't seem to have much meaning, they were cryptic, but the last sentence was like thunder, making Gu Yaofang's face pale with fright.

She originally stood up and was about to send Gu Zhenguan out, but she was so shocked by these words that she sat back down.

Seeing that the master had left, Qingxi came in quickly, seeing Gu Yaofang's dazed and pale face, she was terribly frightened: "Miss, what's wrong with you..."

Gu Yaofang clasped her finger on the armrest of the wicker chair, her nails sank into the recess, she only gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly, "He did it on purpose!"

With a "snap", he lifted a toast plate on the table, and his face was full of sternness. Gu Yaofang's breath was unsteady, and she took a few breaths. She wanted to talk, but she remembered what Gu Zhenguan said this time. , It was like slapping her face, she rolled her eyes, her eyes went dark, she fell down, and fainted from anger!
When the news reached Gu Huaishu, she laughed so hard that she spit out a mouthful of tea.

Gu Zhenguan is afraid that he has a solid idea in his heart, but he doesn't know how far Gu Yaofang is with that person. Now that she "dare not" to marry, she probably understands.The thing is not just as simple as falling in love with a foreign man and giving and receiving privately.

"Ouch, my servant's stomach hurts, it's okay, stop laughing, haha..." Qing Dai also smiled and bent over.

Gu Huaixiu thought about it, but still laughed so hard that he clapped his hands, "I'm afraid I'm really dizzy this time, I really laughed out loud!"

"Hey, what are you laughing at, Miss San, with such a loud voice?"

A beautiful woman came to Gu Huaxiu's west courtyard at some time, when she just entered the room, she heard the laughter of the master and the servant, and asked a question in a shrill voice.

When Gu Huaishu heard this, he raised his brows, the only person in the Gu family mansion had such an aura.

Gu Zhenguan has a younger sister, named Gu Jiao, who was married to Kefu in the early years, and her husband's family was all dead, so she simply moved back to live in Gu's family. Since her mother died, she took care of the affairs of the Gu family. , I am very busy on weekdays, how can I walk here today?

Qing Dai is a clever person, so she hurriedly went up to help her: "Isn't this telling a joke? Auntie, please come in and sit down."
