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

Chapter 152
Waking up early the next morning, Gu Huaishu did not see Zhang Tingyu, presumably he was still with the emperor in the palace, right?
There are two fathers and sons, father and son for two generations, serving an emperor, there must be a lot to talk about.

After Gu Huaixiu cleaned up, he asked someone to go outside to inquire about interesting things, as if he had returned to the period when Zhang Tingyu hadn't won the exam, and his life was leisurely and peaceful.The two of them live in the south of the Yangtze River, few people care about it, and it is much simpler. How can it be like this now that one step needs to count the next three steps?
When there is no glory and wealth, they look forward to the glory and wealth, but when the glory and wealth are in the palm of their hands, they can grasp it easily, and they don't think it is so good.

People always like those things that they have not got, but they are dismissive of what is now available.

She gently combed the end of her hair with a mahogany comb, and instantly realized her thoughts.

Since prosperity and wealth are not easy to come by, they should be cherished even more.Only by keeping what is in front of you can you get more.

Thinking about it, Gu Huaishu told Huamei to push open a window outside, and suddenly said: "Did Xiao Shifang come back yesterday?"

"I came back in the middle of the night yesterday." Huamei replied, she was still awake at that time, and heard someone open the door for Xiao Shi Fang, so she knew, "But, isn't Master Shi Fang serving the emperor?"

"I have served the emperor all the way."

Gu Huaishu laughed, thinking that this kid still has a bit of conscience and knows to come back.

At the beginning, the cook was lent to the emperor. After all, people still belong to Gu Huaishu, so it can't be said that the master's family has nothing to eat, so he wants to cook food for the emperor, right?

In the eyes of others, Gu Huaixiu's logic is definitely wrong, but in Gu Huaixiu's case, this logic is really normal.

It is said that everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and no one cares about the frost on others.

He hasn't even finished sweeping the snow in his house, and hasn't filled his stomach yet. Whether the emperor is hungry or not has nothing to do with Gu Huaixiu?
She took a look at her face in the mirror, and suddenly moved closer to caressing the corners of her eyes, then frowned: "Why do I look, there is a line beside the corner of my eyes..."

After careful calculation, Gu Huaishu is not young anymore.

She married Zhang Tingyu when she was 17 years old, but now it has been 13 years and she is thirty.

I didn't know when I counted it, but I was really shocked when I counted it.

However, the age of that master is also interesting to calculate, and it happens to be 33 this year.old couple...

Qingdai Huamei glanced at each other, and felt that Gu Huaishu seemed to feel that he was old, so he said quickly: "Madam, you must have bad eyesight, the servants have been dressing you up for many years, but I haven't seen a single one of them. Fine lines."

Gu Huaishu lightly pressed the corners of his eyes with his fingers, but lowered his eyes.

"I don't despise myself getting old... On the contrary, I wish I could be as old as possible. Let those who want me to be ugly see that even though I am old, I can still be more beautiful than others; What's more, 30 years old is the most interesting age for a woman... Others say that you will grow old together, why haven't I seen that I have a white hair..."

Qingdai Huamei was stunned, she never thought that Gu Huaishu's thinking was so different from ordinary people.

After Gu Huaixiu said this, he closed his eyes and said, "Let's do a flying fairy bun today. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is good. Let's find a chance later. If the second master has time to come back, we can go to the lake. I want to go with the emperor. If the second master doesn't have time...no..."

"lady?"

Qing Dai raised her hand and was about to give Gu Huai Xiuwan hair, when she suddenly heard her say "No", she thought she was going to change her mind, so her movements stopped.

But Gu Huaishu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and tie your hair, I just thought of something."

After washing and washing, Gu Huaixiu picked out a bright light purple skirt with a dark purple silk trimmed blouse sprinkled with flowers on it. He was still picking out a fan when he heard the person in front report that Li Wei was coming.

"I still think he's not coming..."

Gu Huaishu casually took a fan with pictures of ladies on it, sat down on the chair, and called out, "You're calling me a godmother, can't you just come in by yourself now?"

Li Wei came in with a disheveled face, he had a listless expression, full of resentment: "Godmother doesn't love my godson at all."

Seeing his sloppy look, Gu Huaishu almost laughed out loud: "After all, you still don't use your brain, and you believe what I say. How, Boss Shen had a good time last night?"

"What a pleasure, I have been reprimanded all over the garden. You said you too, what kind of joke is not good, but you just said this one, and I was worried about taking my brother last night..." Li Wei wailed , "When I came out this morning, I said that my elder brother had started to have a low fever. Aren't you committing a crime?"

"Get brother?"

It's Shen Chi's precious son mentioned last night, right?

Gu Huaishu frowned, "Is the child okay now?"

"I don't know how many times I've been sick..."

Li Wei originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Gu Huaishu to mind this matter so much. He suddenly remembered that the godmother is also a mother, and taking the brother is just a little bigger than the fat brother, but the body It's not as good as the fat guy.

This is probably what I said wrong.

Li Wei thought about it, and quickly said: "It's not a serious illness, it's been repeated a while ago, it's not because I was waiting for Lord Shen, so I got sick..."

After saying this, Gu Huaixiu's face turned darker.

Li Wei said in his heart, "It's over", and the more he described it, the darker he was...

He also wanted to make amends: "Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with you, I'm just talking nonsense..."

Gu Huaishu gave him a sideways look, but said nothing.

After a while, Huamei led the sleepy-eyed fat guy out, and the fat guy raised his eyes and saw Li Wei, and thought that he had never seen this man before, but he suddenly became sober.

In front of outsiders, the boy still looks like an obedient child.

As soon as he saw Li Wei, Fat Brother walked towards Gu Huaishu.

When he came last night, Li Wei wanted to meet Fat Brother, after all, he was the son of his godmother, but it was a pity that Fat Brother fell asleep and fell asleep last night, so he didn't see him.

When I saw it today, Li Wei suddenly felt that the fat guy's body was unusual.

Among his peers, Fat Boy's figure dare to say that he is the first, and no one dares to say that he is second—only in terms of fatness.

"Li Wei sends hello to the young master."

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Gu Huaishu saw that Li Wei actually saluted the fat guy who was younger than him, and quickly stretched out his foot to kick him, "Stinky boy, do you have to make him lose his life?"

The fat guy was also taken aback, and asked in a tigerish voice, "You, who are you?"

Li Wei said "Hey" and said, "You are the godmother's son, and I am also the godmother's son."

"I'm not the godmother's son." The fat man didn't understand Li Wei's words, he scratched his head and said, "I'm my mother's son."

Gu Huaishu and the maids around him laughed out loud, even Li Wei laughed after being stunned for a moment.

Early in the morning, the room burst into laughter.

I chatted with the emperor all night last night, and today I had breakfast with the emperor. Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ying, the father and son, were only allowed to return to the other courtyard at this time.

Zhang Ying hadn't seen Fat Brother for a long time, thinking how old this grandson was, and was about to go in to have a look, when he heard laughter inside.

But Zhang Tingyu heard Li Wei's voice all of a sudden, frowned inadvertently, and then quickly dispersed. Even Zhang Ying, who was closest to him, had never noticed such an abnormality.

The father and son entered the house, and only then did they see what was going on inside.

The maids supported each other and laughed together, it seemed that the fat guy had made some joke just now, and there was a taller and thinner boy standing not far from Gu Huaishou's chair, also laughing loudly.

Such a scene made Zhang Ying feel warm almost instantly.

When Gu Huaishu saw Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu, he stopped smiling for a moment, and quickly got up to salute: "Elder-in-law, second master."

Li Wei was also clever. Hearing Gu Huaishu's words, he hurriedly said, "Greetings to Master Zhang and Mr. Zhang."

Because Li Wei guessed that Zhang Tingyu might not want to see him, Mr. Zhong mentioned this, so Li Wei didn't dare to call Zhang Tingyu his godfather casually. After all, in Li Wei's opinion, Zhang Tingyu was scarier than his wife.Although he called it before, he always felt as if someone was staring at him from behind, so Li Wei simply stopped calling him Zhang Tingyu.In fact, Li Wei prefers to be close to Gu Huaishu.

Now there are two father and son, one is Mr. Zhang, who has returned to Tongcheng to take care of his old age, and the other is Zhang Tingyu, who is still rising like the sun.

Li Wei's shouting method is quite interesting.

As soon as Zhang Ying touched her beard, she laughed loudly, pointed at Li Wei and said, "Where did this kid come from?"

Gu Huaixiu also hadn't seen Zhang Ying for a long time, this old fox is rare to be sensible, Zhang Tingyu also respected him, and Gu Huaixiu also respected him a lot, now he just said truthfully: "It was my daughter-in-law who met on the street back then. Son, he was grateful for my old kindness, so he called me a godmother. This other courtyard was cleaned by him in Jiangning yesterday. He came to see Fat Brother early this morning, and said it was last night I haven’t seen you, but I’m sure I’ll see you this morning.”

Listening to what my daughter-in-law said, she said it lightly, but there were still many things that were not clearly said.

But Zhang Ying doesn't care about these now, he just came to see his grandson.

As soon as the fat guy saw Zhang Ying with a white beard and white hair, he rushed up, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Little Fatty wants to be hugged!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Ying laughed out loud, caught the fat man with both hands, but said, "Hey, the boy is really getting heavier..."

Fat guy didn't know why he laughed, he just tugged at Zhang Ying's beard and said: "My father is an old man, and my grandfather is an old man, when will you cut off this beard for my father and let him leave it on his chin?" Beard, at that time father was as powerful as grandpa!"

Zhang Tingyu sternly said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

But Zhang Ying didn't mind: "He made a lot of sense, but..."

After a pause, Zhang Ying hugged the fat boy and sat down, but said with a smile: "I'm afraid your father has not grown enough beard, so he will be better than grandpa..."

Zhang Tingyu is naturally young and promising. He was a Jinshi at the age of 29, and he can be regarded as a successful young man before the age of 30.After all, on average, the age of Jinshi is around 35. Compared with most people, Zhang Tingyu is already very early.

Now, as soon as he joined the job, he walked in the South Study Room and directly entered the ranks of Kangxi's confidantes. Naturally, he will be able to rise to the top.

What kind of sophistication does Zhang Ying have in his eyes?
He had also heard about Zhang Tingyu's recent words to save Song Luo.

Zhang Ying didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he only knew that his son's words must be considered to have won the capable minister Song Luo to his side.

Step by step, Lengtouqing will also become an old fried dough stick, not to mention Zhang Tingyu who is already slippery?

Zhang Ying sat down here, and only had lunch with everyone, but Li Wei didn't stay, and only said that he had something to do when he went back.

Gu Huaixiu asked Xiao Shifang to make something for him to take back, and he only said it was for his elder brother. After all, the child was sick, and another copy was for Li Wei.Li Wei was overjoyed, apparently he didn't expect that he still had a copy, and ran away as soon as he picked up the things.

Waiting until the afternoon, Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu talked for a while, and then said: "I came to pick you up for a while, and you can go after seeing. The emperor said that father and son will meet, half of which is true, official career is important. If you follow I am talking about the relationship between father and son here, and no one will handle the affairs in Jiangnan. I will not have such a good opportunity to show it in front of the emperor when I turn around. My boat will be waiting in front of you this evening. You don’t have to stay any longer. Tongcheng is gone."

At this moment, Zhang Tingyu's expression was complicated.

He stood by the river again to see Zhang Ying away, watching Zhang Ying's boat leave the pier, only to see the setting sun set.

Gu Huaixiu was also quite emotional, the important ministers of the dynasty were late, but I don't know how many times we can see each other...

They all know that Zhang Ying is old, and now he is in peace.

Zhang Tingyu stood there without moving for a long time.

She stretched out her hand to pull him, but he said: "I'm fine...the emperor still has a summons to discuss the matter of the river workers. I won't be coming back tonight, you..."

"In the afternoon, Mrs. Liao issued an invitation card, saying that I would take Fat Brother to Kuixia Garden, so you can go and do business with peace of mind." Gu Huaishu comforted him, but he was very happy, "In Jiangning, we I know a lot of people, so don’t worry that I’m bored. You, on the other hand, will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou with Lord Long Live, but I won’t follow you. There are many disputes. Be careful by yourself.”

Zhang Tingyu finally bent his lips and smiled: "Say hello to shopkeeper Liao for me."

"The meeting ceremony has been prepared, so don't worry."

Gu Huaishu went back with him, but he didn't enter the door and went to the palace again.

When she came back here, she only tidied up a bit, then took the fat brother by the hand, and made him a beautiful dress to wear. Fat is fat, but cute...

"Well, like a pig..."

Gu Huaixiu muttered something, and laughed to herself, but saw the fat man making faces at her: "I am a pig, what is my mother who gave birth to me? Be born a human, a pig begets a pig! My mother is also a pig! Wow, mother You're going to hit me, Aunt Qingdai save me..."

Qing Dai couldn't straighten her back from laughing, Gu Huaishu gritted her teeth with hatred, and poked Fat Brother's forehead all the way into the Sunflower Garden.

However, not long after walking in, three people came outside?For the sedan chair, Shen Qi got down from the front first.And then the middle one? , a thin and sickly eight-year-old boy came out. He looked gentle, but his face was very beautiful. It would be better if he was tougher and healthier.

The one in the middle is Shen Yang's only son and elder brother.

Shen Qi came to see him and said, "Are you still dizzy?"

Ge'er shook his head: "I drank the medicine in the morning, and I'm not dizzy anymore. Dad, do you still hurt?"

Shen Chao looked at his paws and snorted, "Your father and I hurt all over."

third?The woman in the sedan chair finally lifted the curtain and came out nervously when she heard the voice outside, and called "Master Shen".

Looking at the gold and silver hairpin rings on this woman's head, although she is full of caution in her demeanor, it may be seen that she still has the foundation of a lady.It's just that on such a lively occasion today, she was dressed extremely neatly.

Shen Chao narrowed his eyes to look at her, but said: "As expected of a girl from Zhang family's scholarly and official family, she has been with Xu for so many years, but she hasn't lost her noble spirit."

The woman sighed: "What do you want to do?"
