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

Chapter 162

Gu Huaixiu didn't know what kind of mood he was walking out of Shen Yuan. He wanted to cry, but suddenly felt that it was the same as knowing that the child had passed away. There were no more tears to shed.

But she still burst into tears like a fool.

All the way back to the other courtyard, she sat alone for a long time, from dawn to midnight.

She didn't sit behind the desk again until she felt her face was dry, and pressed the blue and white paperweight from the small Jingdezhen kiln on the letter paper, and then took out a lake brush from the pen holder, the second time in five days Write to Zhang Tingyu.

Gu Huaixiu suddenly couldn't remember how he felt when he was sitting here writing a letter to Zhang Tingyu five days ago.

In the end, it was nothing but joy.

At night, Gu Huaishu finally opened the door and called Ade, "Send another letter to the second master. At this moment, the second master should still be on the road to Zhenjiang, so he should be more agile."

Ade was really worried about Gu Huaixiu, holding the letter and dared not leave.

Gu Huaixiu sighed: "You can't ask for it all the time, you go and tell the second master, he is full of miscellaneous things and can't afford to delay."

Zhang Tingyu is now on the road to the sky, and it would be a luxury to stop for a day, how could she not know?

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Ade finally went to deliver the letter.

He rode his horse all the way to Zhenjiang Mansion. After two and a half days, he finally found a place to stop. Ade didn't know where Zhang Tingyu had gone, but he knew that when the second master came back, he must have traveled by land on horseback, compared to the upstream boat on the river. Much faster.

So there should be news at the post stations along the way, but today I asked at the post station in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and said that a fourth-rank official had changed horses here. Because he was too tired from running around for days, Song Luo, the governor of Jiangsu, forced him to rest.

Ade asked the location immediately, and then rushed to the government office in a hurry.

Song Luo heard people say that Zhang Tingyu was crazy on the way. He came from Changzhou all the way by water instead of land. When he saw Zhang Tingyu, how could he have the handsome and handsome Zhang Hanlin's demeanor?All I saw was a madman with sunken eyes.

"What happened to you? No matter how anxious you are, you can't run so desperately."

"..."

Zhang Tingyu served tea, his lips were chapped, his fingers were as thin as sticks, he took a look at himself, and said: "These days are indeed running too fast...but it will be here soon..."

The tea slightly moistened his lips and only moistened his mouth, but Zhang Tingyu found that he couldn't taste the tea at all.

Song Luo said, "Do you want to rest for half a day?"

When Kangxi came to Zhenjiang earlier, he was very happy to see that Song Luo had brought back the people of Dantu, saying that it was not too late for him to make up for it.

Zhang Tingyu taught him all of this, and Song Luo is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Although he only said that Zhang Tingyu talked to him, and he won him over, it was definitely not out of some simple "virtuous", but after all, it was a life-saving grace. How can it be so easy to say that you can turn your back on it?

What's more, Zhang Tingyu is still aboveboard.

As soon as the idea fell into place, Song Luo heard Zhang Tingyu's reply before she heard the report from the officer in front: "Master Governor, someone has come to look for Mr. Zhang with a token from Mr. Zhang's family, saying that there is an urgent letter!"

Zhang Tingyu shook his hand holding the tea, and he didn't care about anything else, he just put down the teacup, "Let someone come in!"

Only then did Ade come in, Qiqi Ai Ai called "Second Master", and then handed over the envelope.

Seeing Ade's face, Zhang Tingyu only said that something must be wrong.

His whole body is tense now, he can't relax at all, his temples are throbbing, as if his whole brain is going to explode in the next moment.

Zhang Tingyu knew that he hadn't had a good rest, and he felt like he was going crazy on the road these few days.

He suppressed the impatience caused by exhaustion, braced himself, and tore apart the letter paper, and took out the letter paper after three times.

However, this time when he unfolded the letter paper, there were only a few words on the paper.

He looked at it, and although he had expected it when he saw Ade, but when the real facts hit him head-on, he couldn't suppress the depression in his heart, and he smashed the teacup containing hot tea on the sour branch pear wood coffee table. on the ground!

"Snapped!"

Broken porcelain splashed with boiling hot tea!

Zhang Tingyu's palm was scalded by the tea, but he stood there stiffly, and what was brewing in his body was violent wind and rain.

Holding the letter paper in one hand while the other hand was still burning, Zhang Tingyu felt it was ridiculous. He wandered around the void for a while, and even turned his head while looking around, raised his face, and closed his eyes.

"very nice……"

Ade almost cried: "Second Master, don't be like this..."

Zhang Tingyu stood on his back and did not respond.

Although he and Gu Huaishu are separated from each other, why aren't they also disappointed by hope?
How many days did you run all the way?

The waterway was replaced by land, and the land was replaced by water...

Jiangnan water town left him heartbroken, but seeing that it was about to arrive, it turned out that such a letter was delivered to him.

Gu Huaixiu's words were very simple, but Zhang Tingyu didn't need to think about how his wife was feeling right now.

Because husband and wife are one, we feel the same.

The first child is the lifelong regret of the two of them.

He slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Ade, but said: "I have a few words with Mr. Song Luo, you go out and wait for me first, and go back to pick up your wife later."

Ade didn't dare to refute, so he just backed out.

Song Luo on the side had already seen the moment when the gentle and elegant Zhang Hanlin turned his face when Zhang Tingyu suddenly got up and dropped the teacup.

At that time, Song Luo was terrified.

Too few people know what kind of face a person has under the mask.

And Zhang Tingyu's mask was torn instantly after his wife sent a letter.

Song Luo only glanced at the waiters around, and waved them off.

"Master Zhang..."

"I want to ask Mr. Song to do me a favor." Zhang Tingyu approached Song Luo with a faint smile on his face, looking very kind.

Song Luo shivered in his heart, "Master Zhang..."

Zhang Tingyu folded the letter paper in his hand, straightened up again, and said: "This year, the new tea in the south of the Yangtze River will start to be harvested, and the tea harvesting boats will also start to sail on the river. Mr. Song Luo, you are the governor of Jiangsu, so you can detain the boats." To search the name of the former Ming Rebel Party, seize a few boats, and then let them be blown by the wind and rain, this power must be there..."

Song Luo was speechless, but looked at Zhang Tingyu in shock.

Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "You can detain Shen Chao's boat, one detains one, ten detains ten, and you just detain as many as you want. If something happens, I will take care of it for you; if someone Zhang finds out that the lunatic has A boat has brought tea to Beijing, you—"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, made a gesture of cutting off his head lightly, and said softly: "One sentence from Zhang can save you, and can one sentence make you? Dai Hualing fell to the ground with the head."

Saving Song Luo was not in vain.

Zhang Tingyu rescued him first, and also investigated this person clearly. Song Luo had a clue in Zhang Tingyu's hands, so how could he escape?
He doesn't like everything beyond his control, so Shen Yang...

Regardless of whether there is a brother or not, whether this matter is true or not, he must die.

Even, it may be related to Wangxian.

This person must die.

After saying these words, Zhang Tingyu recovered quickly. He said "I was rude just now, thank you Lord Song for your hospitality", and then he left the Zhenjiang government office and took Ade with him, instead of going to Suzhou to walk with the emperor. It is to go to Jiangning.

Song Luo in the government office raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, covered with layers of cold sweat.

He found that he was wrong, very wrong.

I was still thinking before, Zhang Tingyu is really an upright person, and the next moment this person turned his face to him.

Turning faces is faster than turning pages, and Song Luo has seen it.

He looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and the splattered tea stains, and his heart skipped a beat.

buckle……

Detain a sunken ship?
To buckle, or not to buckle?

Song Luo thought of the matter of Dantu's uncompetitiveness, and finally became determined.

He believed that what Zhang Tingyu said was true, the emperor's close ministers were still valued by the emperor during the southern tour. Although the official rank was not higher than himself, the people around the emperor were not comparable to them.To strangle himself to death is just a matter of lip service, let alone this person is Zhang Tingyu?

Song Luo was still afraid when he thought of the situation in Niancuilou back then.

He just said: Master Shen, I'm sorry.

Zhang Tingyu went all the way to Jiangning, all in the world.

In the end, I still saw Jiangning City surrounded by three mountains.

And beside the Qinhuai Inland River, in a sunken garden in the inner city, Shen Yang touched his cheek, then withdrew his hand, looking at a woman's handkerchief in his hand.

He entered the secluded courtyard and saw his brother and his brother were setting up the abacus, calculating and writing down a sum.

"You're better when you're sick. Don't work so hard. You'll get sick again later. Your father and I won't be able to support you anymore."

Shen Qu said: "Our family still has 3607 million taels of snowflake silver. There are 38 tea houses, 59 cloth shops, and 27 rice shops outside. Not counting the business of Yandao, you can buy Jiangning City by yourself. I can afford to have a baby."

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, he went up and patted his brother's head: "You remember clearly."

He pulled up a chair and sat across from Shen Ju, watching him fiddle with the beads of the abacus with his skinny fingers, just like he did when he was a child.

Squinting his eyes, Shen Chao's expression was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Listening to the sound of dialing the abacus like this, all the restlessness and uneasiness subsided.

Pop, pop, pop, pop...

He is very rich, but he has only one son.

Sitting here and watching Brother's calculations for half an hour, he said: "Don't fight, be careful not to hurt your body...Xiangyu prepared soup for you, drink it while it's hot."

"I'm drinking pigeon soup today, why don't father leave after drinking a bowl?"

He looked up at Shen Chao, his eyes were big and black and white.

Shen Qi suddenly thought of Gu Huaishu, he hooked his lips into a smile, and said, "Okay."

So he sat down, and Shen Chao poured soup for Brother Chi with his own hands, and Brother Chi also filled a bowl for Shen Chao, holding it in front of him with both hands, he said: "Father, you drink too."

Xiangyu was busy at the side, watching the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety, she shook her head and smiled.

Shen Chao didn't eat well, he bit the soup spoon and knocked it with his teeth, as if he wanted to chew it up and swallow it.

Hearing the voice, Shen Qu only sighed: "Father, if you bite down, you'll drink your own blood..."

"Your father and I drink human blood."

Shen Chao grew up drinking the blood of his whole family.

He lowered his eyes, pulled the spoon out of his mouth, and finally started to drink the soup.

After the soup was finished, Shen Chao told him that he had gone to bed earlier, and then returned to his study from the yard along the long corridor.

There was already a woman sitting in the study, dignified and demure.

Shen Qi smiled as soon as he saw her, "Come to ask for your daughter?"

It was a face very similar to Zhang Tingyu's. Zhang Wangxian watched Shen Yang walk over and sat opposite him.

There was a jug next to it, and there was still half a jug of wine in it. Shen Qiang grabbed it, shook it lightly, listened to the sound of the wine inside, and waited for Zhang Wangxian to answer.

Zhang Wangxian said: "The matter is done, what about her?"

"In the back of the garden, I just ate Sixi meatballs made by the cook today... Don't worry, do I look so scary?" Shen Chao took a sip of wine from the spout, sat crookedly, but suddenly drooped Head, seems very depressed and decadent, "I am a very kind person..."

Zhang Wangxian sneered, and really put gold on his face.

"Bloody feud, I should kill you before committing suicide, but I still have a daughter... Shen Chao, you will really suffer the consequences if you run out of tricks like this."

After hearing this, Shen Qi said, "Who allows you to call me by my first and last name?"

He was carrying the jug, and seemed to be talking nonsense through his drunkenness: "Why should I give the son I snatched back from Lord Yan to someone else? Parents have the kindness to give birth to children... Gu San gave birth to him, I raised him... I Why let go?"

"You are not worthy of raising him." Zhang Wangxian's words were poisonous like a needle.

Shen Chao said: "You and Zhang Tingyu are indeed siblings."

Zhang Wangxian sat there with his hands folded, never forgetting his ladylike demeanor.

She squinted at him: "Others raise a pup like a son, but it is still a dog after all; you wanted to raise someone else's son like a pup, but you raised your own son, and you don't want to let go of your true feelings." How about the taste? But you still have to let it go after all..."

"Crash..."

Shen Chao was still shaking the flagon, and let his thoughts follow the flagon.

"no……"

Well, what to explain.

Anyway, he is mean and shameless, sinister and vicious.

Thinking about it, Shen Qi drank another pot of wine, why not keep the absurd reason to himself?

"You are very sick, and you will not die well."

Zhang Wangxian already knew where her daughter was, so she didn't want to talk nonsense to Shen Chao anymore, she got up and wanted to leave, but Shen Chao suddenly spoke.

"I will die badly, and Zhang Tingyu is not much better. Do you think he is clean?"

Shen Chao has been plotting for so many years, how can he not know how people's hearts grow?

Brother Quer will die at any time, it would be fine if he kept it a secret, clues cannot be hidden, that's why he set up this troublesome trap.

As for Zhang Tingyu...

Shen Chong smiled, "Do you know your second brother?"

Zhang Wangxian married early, she recalled, when she got married, her second brother was still nothing special, at home?Liang Zhu is the eldest brother.

In the past few years, the letters have gradually changed. The second brother has begun to emerge, but the eldest brother...

Gone.

These are all family affairs of the Zhang family, but now Shen Qi asked, "Do you know your second brother?"...

The deepest memory in all Zhang Wangxian's memories is the appearance of the second brother kneeling in front of the eldest brother's room, being smashed by his mother's medicine bowl until his face was covered in blood.

"..."

She was suddenly a little speechless, her husband was gone, but Zhang Wangxian didn't dare to wear mourning, and had to take the coffin all the way back to Shaanxi for burial...

All sorts of incidents came together, and this is her murdering her husband and her enemy...

"My second brother was very talented and intelligent in his early years, but later..." Zhang Wangxian suddenly bent his lips, and only looked at Shen Chao with pity, "No matter what kind of person he is, I can only tell you that I am powerless to kill you. But your retribution is coming soon."

"My second brother has a temper and is extremely poisonous. You can't be cruel to him."

"Today you count him as one, and in the future he will teach your family to fall apart and fall apart."

Shen Qi only laughed when he heard this: "I am a homeless person."

"Then there will be no place to bury the dead, and the body will be dismembered by five horses and then exposed to the wilderness..."

Zhang Wangxian remembered that he was an infatuated kind, and suddenly thought of a vicious sentence, and said slowly: "You hold my second sister-in-law on the tip of your heart, but you don't know that someday you will teach her to know what you have achieved today, and she will be used by her." The tip of the knife pierces your heart, and a drop of heart blood comes out, and then you die..."

"Do not."

Shen Chao shook his head, took another sip of wine, and continued: "I am covered with copper stink, my hands are bloody, and my heart is full of filth... killing me is because her hands are dirty, if there is a day, why bother her to do it herself?" ? I executed the sentence on her behalf."

After finishing speaking, he threw the white jade wine jug in his hand towards the vase in the corner in front of him, with a crisp "pop", the aroma of the wine wafted out, and then poured a lot of things with a crackling sound.

Shen Qi closed his eyes, as if drunk.

Zhang Wangxian suddenly felt sorry for him, he deserved it for doing such a big thing without revenge.

"What a lunatic, you are drunk."

"I've never been drunk." He still said the same thing.

Zhang Wangxian listened and sneered, but finally left.

Shen Chong leaned back on the teacher's chair, thinking quietly.

"This is the worst business I've lost money in my life..."

No matter how you plan, you can't count the profit back.

Perhaps it was his life that was lost.

Outside, Zhong Heng came up holding the newspaper, his face livid: "Song Luo is crazy, and detained the eighteen boats we brought back from collecting tea..."

After hearing this, Shen Chao said: "You are wrong, it is not Song Luo who is crazy, but Zhang Tingyu."

But so what?
The right arm is broken.

It depends on who can calculate who.
