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

Chapter 22 Dealing with Sister Fang

Gu Huaishu came over from the Chuihua Gate calmly, the wind in the capital was still bitingly chill.

She folded her arms and half of her upper body, calmed down, and approached the main room seemingly unintentionally, there were guests inside, faint conversations could be heard, and a few servant girls were guarding outside.

Gu Huaishu just stood behind without making a sound, and then Gu Zhenguan's voice came.

On this day, the Gu family had just returned to the capital, and they were tired all the way.

Gu Zhenguan was quite old, but just arrived here, he found a Taoist priest and said that he would give Gu Yaofang orders.

Back then, he threw away the Taoist priest that Gu Yaofang recruited with a pot of hot pot water. It stands to reason that he was the person who didn't believe in these things the most.

But now, unfortunately, it was Gu Zhenguan who took the initiative to find a Taoist priest.

After Gu Yaofang entered the room, she bowed to Gu Zhenguan first.

Then Gu Zhenguan moved his hand and pointed to the Xuanpao priest sitting on the first chair in the row on the right: "This one is the well-known Daoist Zhang in the capital. I saw that you liked fortune-telling at the beginning, and you have been doing it for many years in recent years." If things don’t go your way, ask Daoist Zhang to give you an order. If there is a disaster, it will be eliminated, and if there is no disaster, I will ask for blessings.”

The words are nice, and Gu Zhenguan is also a master of scene words.

He smiled, with wrinkles on his face, and stared at Gu Yaofang.

At this moment, Gu Yaofang's face turned pale early.

She didn't even dare to look up at Gu Zhenguan, so she couldn't see Gu Zhenguan's slightly sad expression.

Gu Yaofang turned around, lowered her head, and saluted the Taoist priest with a long white beard: "Master Zhang."

The Daoist Zhang sized up Gu Yaofang, and then looked at Gu Zhenguan with some hesitation. Gu Zhenguan only served tea and nodded slightly, as if to signal something.

Gu Yaofang still hadn't seen this detail, but she didn't have any good premonition in her heart.

Daoist Zhang asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and asked Gu Yaofang's birthday horoscope, and then drew and counted on the paper.

After about a quarter of an hour, he lightly folded the piece of rice paper, stood up, and swung the whisk, "Miss' fate is here, but the secret must not be revealed. The old Taoist has never seen such a destiny in his life, I'm afraid It's against God's will again, and only writes the method of resolution. Whether you do it or not, it's all up to you, Mr. Gu. The old man won't take any money, so he will leave."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, as expected, he didn't ask for a penny.

Gu Zhenguan hurriedly got up and told old Xu to take the money and chase him out.

Not long after, old Xu came back and said: "Reporting to the master, Daoist Zhang said that he would not dare to seek money from the will of heaven, but only asked the master to invest this money to the poor. It should be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating evil virtues."

Gu Zhenguan was startled, waved his hands and said, "Then you can do as Daozhang Zhang wants."

"Father, could it be..."

Gu Yaofang was taken aback by this scene, the blood on her lips disappeared completely, and her voice trembled.

Gu Zhenguan was pinching that page, and he hadn't read it until now. He only said to let Sister Fang be calm, and he would read it himself.

As a result, as soon as the page was unfolded, Gu Zhenguan's expression suddenly darkened, and turned into a bit of sadness.

"Sister Fang, come with me."

He lifted his foot out and walked towards the study.

Gu Yaofang gritted her teeth, hesitated for a long time, but followed.

Gu Huaishu had been standing outside, and when the Taoist priest came out, he had already quietly hid behind.

Seeing the figures of Gu Zhenguan and Gu Yaofang leaving, she couldn't help but bow her head and ponder for a while.Gently lifting his finger, Gu Huaishu unconsciously rubbed the nail of his right thumb, bit his lower lip slightly, and still followed.

The study is on the right side, connected to the main room. When you lift the curtain, you can see a screen with eight treasures glazed paintings of red plums and spring pictures facing you.

Bypassing the screen is the book case of Master Gu Zhenguan.

He sat down and pointed to the inkstone: "You come to study the ink."

Gu Yaofang did as she said, picked up the ink when she came over, and began to grind the ink in the inkstone. "Daddy, what did Daoist Zhang say?"

Her eyes drifted to the page that was pressed down by Gu Zhenguan. Gu Yaofang was still very curious about the result of the order.

Gu Zhenguan picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, but did not move it for a long time.

He seemed to be experiencing some kind of struggle, and put down a pen again, "You can see for yourself..."

Passing that page to Gu Yaofang, Gu Zhen watched her expression.

On the paper was written the Taoist fortune-telling for Gu Yaofang——

Since ancient times, there are many beautiful women, and the flowers flow freely; if you want to inquire about the survival technique, the dove occupies the magpie's nest and the light shines.

The first sentence is shocking, but the latter one gives people a rather hazy feeling, as if they are covered with a veil and cannot see clearly.

If you want to inquire about the resurrection technique, the dove occupies the magpie's nest and the light shines.

The meaning of the dove occupying the magpie's nest...

The dove lays its eggs in the nest, and the sparrow is called to raise the offspring for the dove...

Gu Yaofang was shocked, showing an expression of disbelief: "No... this..."

This batch of orders is very simple, Gu Yaofang is a beautiful woman, if you want to find a way to solve it, there is only one way: give Gu Yaofang to others to be raised, and become someone else's daughter, only then will it be possible to gain the "first line" of life!

Gu Zhenguan lowered her head, and said something that Gu Yaofang could not have imagined: "Sister Fang, Daoist Zhang is a celestial master, and he is extremely effective. There was a family the day before yesterday, because they didn't say anything else, they burned the whole house in the middle of the night, and there was no one. A living. For my Gu family, and for you, Sister Fang, I have to give you to another family..."

"Father! You are crazy!"

So far, how can you care about anything else?
Gu Yaofang shook her head, the bitter expression on her face was finally unable to hide, and at this critical moment, traces were revealed: "I am your own flesh and blood! Dad, that stinky Taoist priest must be talking nonsense. Man can conquer nature, how can you trust me?" The words of the wandering warlock?!"

At this time, Gu Yaofang called those Taoist priests Wandering Warlocks.

Well, well, well, very well.

Gu Zhenguan's expression of regret just now diminished bit by bit, his old face was almost unbearable, if it wasn't for a lifetime of perseverance, it would almost be tears.

"Two years ago, the Taoist priest came to the mansion, you believed it, and said that the heavenly master saved your life; a few days ago, you called the Taoist priest to cover up and didn't want to marry; but today, I hired a Taoist priest to help you You give orders, but you accuse people of being wandering warlocks! Such inconsistencies, how can I trust you!"

The voice was vaguely sharp, and the severe reprimand made Gu Yaofang forget to cry.

Gu Zhenguan tried his best to slow down his voice. He made a choice two years ago, and he didn't know the seriousness of the matter at that time.

Ever since she resigned because she hated the filth of the officialdom, and even lived in seclusion in the mountains, she spent most of her time visiting famous mountains and rivers, and her mother has always been in charge of the affairs of the mansion.In addition, Sister Fang is highly talented, thinking that she will definitely be able to handle her own sense of proportion, but she is still wrong after all...

And today, two years later, he has to make another choice.

"Sister Fang, you know what you have done yourself. Don't bully me because I am old and blind. Even if I am blind, my heart is not blind! I didn't know two years ago, but I indulged you once , I thought you wouldn’t be confused, but you told me to see it clearly when I was negotiating marriage with Zhang’s family! Such a girl’s family should be dragged out to soak in the pig cage!”

Gu Yaofang knelt down on the ground and looked up at Gu Zhenguan.

Master Gu's body was trembling, staring at her, his beard trembled with his body.

This time, it really made the words clear, like thunder piercing the silence, and lightning piercing the night!
All of a sudden, she lost her strength, and Gu Yaofang fell limp, her eyes were a little gray, as if she had been sucked out of her anger in an instant.

However, Gu Zhenguan's words were not over yet.

His voice suddenly became very calm: "Your mother spoiled you a little while she was alive, and I also listened to and believed in you, thinking that you are better than Sister Xiu. It may not be impossible to win the championship in one fell swoop. No one can deny your talent, but you just want to be depraved and degraded!"

"Two years ago, I thought it was wrong, and I didn't think much about it at that time. It doesn't matter if you slander sister sister or frame her, because sister sister is tolerant and can bear it, I think of your mother who loved you very much when she was alive, and because of you My mother also told me that Sister Xiu was not good, and I thought it might be impossible for Sister Xiu to be extra indulgent. So even if she knew something about it, she ignored it because of all kinds of troubles."

This was Gu Zhenguan's choice two years ago.

"You and Sister Xiu are sisters. She has a bad reputation, but you are not affected in the slightest. You step on Sister Xiu! Sister Xiu behaves well, sits upright, and is not afraid of being criticized. What I am most worried about , it’s you—I thought things didn’t reach that point, I had an illusion in my heart, but I was wrong.”

This mistake was two years.

Now that Sister Fang refuses to marry, no matter how confused Gu Zhenguan is, she should understand!
He took a letter from the shore, threw it down, and gave it to Gu Yaofang: "Look for yourself! How long has it been since you arrived in the capital? As soon as you got home, you ordered your personal maid to deliver the letter. If it wasn't for the old Xutou who stopped me halfway, I I'm afraid you don't know yet, it's no wonder you look down on the Zhang family when you Gu Yaofang climbed such a big tree!"

Just now on the veranda, Gu Yaofang took a letter from her sleeve and gave it to Qingxi, asking her to deliver the letter while she just returned to Beijing and was in a mess.Unexpectedly, this letter was intercepted by old Xu Tou!
On the envelope, the handwriting is neat, if it's not Gu Yaofang's, who is it?

She laughed miserably: "How does father want to deal with me?"

"My Gu family's temple is small, so I can't tolerate someone with such a noble status as you. The Taoist priest ordered your life. After all, you are not the flesh and blood of my Gu family. Even if you have one, you have to cut it off." Gu Zhenguan gritted his teeth, every word seemed to be clear He was full of blood, but when he spoke, he became peaceful, "Mr. Lin Heng, the sixth-rank leader of the Han Army Banner in the House of Internal Affairs, is an old acquaintance of mine. His family was counted by Daoist Zhang, and there is just one daughter missing, otherwise the house will be in trouble. I will repair a book, you can go there today."

"No—" Gu Yaofang yelled, "Then Lin Heng is just a sixth-rank plumber, a small sesame official, why would he dare to accept me as his daughter!"

Gu Zhenguan didn't know what to say, "This is the last time for my father to fulfill you, don't be ungrateful!"

He picked up the pen, ignored Gu Yaofang, and wrote a letter cruelly. From then on, he severed the relationship between Gu Yaofang and the Gu family.

Gu Zhenguan was a Han Chinese, but the person who took Gu Yaofang in was from the Han Army Banner.

It is not certain which one is the best.

Such a short-sighted daughter...

Gu Zhenguan really didn't even have the energy to sigh.

He threw the letter to Gu Yaofang, and said, "Let's go. Anyway, father and daughter are like a father and daughter, and I'm partial to you in the end. Whether you will be prosperous, rich, or ruined in the future has nothing to do with my Gu family. Miss Lin, go out."

Miss Lin, heh...

Miss Lin, hahaha...

Gu Yaofang laughed, with tears all over her face, almost being framed out by old Xu Tou.

Gu Zhenguan sat down slumped, and after a long silence, he looked at the carved window facing west and said, "Come in."

There was no movement for a long time, and after about half a quarter of an hour, there was a shadow, slowly bypassing the window and coming forward.

A shadow fell on the terrazzo floor in front of the study door, Gu Huaixiu lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a heavy shadow under his eyes.The lake blue background is inlaid with a half arm of white fox fur, inside is a light white shirt, and underneath is a blue satin pleated skirt with dark flowers, it is really a lotus that comes out of clear water, and it is naturally carved.

She walked step by step, and stood in front of the desk with her head bowed, her voice was calm, as if there was no sadness or joy: "Father."
