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

Chapter 23
A bowl of water is seldom leveled.

Gu Zhenguan is not a saint, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot truly understand everything.

Earlier because of her mother, it was a lie to say that she was not partial to Sister Fang, but now seeing Sister Xiu's cold and restrained expression, he sighed fiercely and said, "Sit."

Gu Huaixiu didn't sit down, but said: "My daughter dare not."

dare not.

Gu Zhenguan remained silent for a while, "If you don't want to sit down, that's all. You must have heard about your eldest sister, right?"

"I don't know much about Eldest Sister, but I still know a thing or two about Miss Lin."

What Gu Huaishu said was extremely indifferent.

From the looks of it, Gu Zhenguan really knew all of this.But he still chose to fulfill Gu Yaofang, just as Gu Zhenguan himself said: In the end, he favored Sister Fang for a while.

The House of Internal Affairs is the sphere of influence of the Prince; Lin Heng, the head of the Ling, is used to currying favor with his superiors; Gu Yaofang is already twenty, although she has passed the age of seventeen draft picks, there is Lin Heng from the House of Internal Affairs, and she doesn't know what to do.

All of this is really everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

eccentric.

Even though she felt that Gu Zhenguan's actions were out of blood and family affection, Gu Huaixiu felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Yaofang wants to change from the eldest lady of the Gu family to a completely irrelevant "Ms. Lin", Gu Huaishu doesn't feel any pity.

It is a great blessing for her to leave Gu Yaofang.

There has never been any sisterly relationship. Gu Yaofang is gone, she is clean.

"In the past, I was the one who didn't notice, and because of partiality, I indulged Sister Fang."

Gu Zhenguan began to speak slowly, he felt that sister Xiu was probably chilled, so what if he didn't speak?

He had already lost one daughter and could not lose another.

"The Taoist priest ordered that my Gu family shouldn't have such a daughter. It happened that my colleagues lacked a daughter a few years ago, so I adopted her. From then on, it has nothing to do with my Gu family. According to Qing, if you can endure sister Fang for so long, you are also a person who can accomplish great things."

Daughter's family, what big event needs to be done?
Gu Huaishu really thinks that she is not an ambitious person, she just likes to eat, drink and have fun, and she has no big ambitions.

She really doesn't have Gu Yaofang's ambitions.

So now, listening to Gu Zhenguan's words, she felt a little funny.

"Father, I can bear it not because I don't resent Miss Lin. On the contrary, today's father rarely opened the skylight and spoke honestly to his daughter, and the daughter told father—"

She paused for a moment, with a bright and cold smile on her face: "I take care of my sleeves, and I am definitely not a kind person. I can bear it, but it is because she hooked up with the prince, and she calculated that I was under the control of others, and I have never dared to take the dirty water. Splash it back. If one day, give me a chance, she will definitely not be able to survive or die!"

Whatever you say you don't care about is a lie!
Gu Huaishu was also provoked today.

Gu Yaofang was lucky. When her mother was alive, her mother was protecting her; back road.

Gu Huaixiu laughed ironically and self-deprecatingly.

"Why does father say so much in a grand manner? Huaixiu understands father. After all, it is father's flesh and blood. Even if the relationship is severed, she should let her live, and even pave a way for her. It depends on whether she is willing to go. That's all."

Gu Huaixiu's voice dragged slightly, she looked at Gu Zhenguan with a gentle smile.

Gu Zhenguan closed her eyes: "Sister Xiu..."

He didn't even know that his third daughter had such an attitude.

If one day, if you give me a chance, she will definitely not be able to live or die.

Does this sound like something a kind girl would say?

As Gu Huaishu said, she was never a kind person.

She went out to buy jewelry with Gu Yaofang two years ago, and ran into Gu Yaofang and the prince in Wuxi City.

Those two hugged and hugged each other in the room.When Gu Huaishu caught a glimpse of a yellow belt on the man's body, he almost cried out in shock.If it hadn't been for the fourth elder brother who appeared diagonally, pulled her behind the wall and held her down, Gu Huaixiu might have already revealed his secrets.

From then on, Gu Huaishu's troubles began.

That fourth master is part of the prince's party, so she is not allowed to talk too much.

But she never expected that Gu Yaofang was aware of the people outside at that time, and after thinking about it, she could only suspect Gu Huaishu.

So after the matter was over, as soon as he returned to the mansion, rumors about Gu Huaishu's bad conduct spread.

Gu Huaishu couldn't bear it at that time, and she wanted to take revenge almost immediately, but she couldn't - all the reasons, didn't they all come from the prince and the fourth master?

Yinzhen didn't seem to dare to offend the prince, let alone ask more details about the matter.

They were not sure whether the crown prince was interested in Gu Yaofang for a while, or just infatuated. Even if Gu Huaishu dared to take the risk of revenge and go back, Yinzhen would not dare.

He didn't dare, but he was afraid that Gu Huaixiu would dare, so he asked people to come and beat her from time to time, and asked her to do something by the way.

Qi Yunzhai's Bai Qiaoniang served the former empress, who was Yinzhen's adoptive mother. This Bai Qiaoniang was not the Prince's, but Yinzhen's.

Although this master is still young, but there are many twists and turns in his stomach, he actually threw a jade pendant to her as a token.

In the past two years, Gu Huaixiu felt tortured all the time.

There must be something hidden in that finger pull.Gu Huaishu has never had contact with the prince's people, she only contacted the fourth elder brother.

If it doesn't matter if the finger is pulled, why should the prince find it?

If it's important to pull the finger, the prince himself didn't know how to find someone to handle Gu Yaofang's business, but let the fourth elder brother come?

Now the fourth elder brother belongs to the prince, so it's fine to do things, but he still doesn't care about it, and only comes to remind him every three to five months. How can he look like he wants to do things?

So Gu Huaixiu guessed that either the crown prince was plotting against the fourth elder brother, or the fourth elder brother was plotting against the prince.

Anyway, Gu Huaishu has never had any contact with the prince, I don't know if there is no one at all, or she has no chance to get in touch.

All in all, the reason why Gu Huaishu had to bear it was because they didn't know the prince's intentions; the second reason was that the fourth elder brother was tricky and might make a fuss about his fingers, but he didn't want the prince to know, so he was careful .

Except for Gu Yaofang's more relationship with the prince, she has no more reliance than Gu Huaishu.These two sisters are like ants, they can survive in such a dangerous situation, but because of the two tigers fighting secretly, they are able to breathe.

Every night, as soon as she touched the so-called "token" left by the fourth elder brother, she would be terrified and unable to sleep well.

After all, she didn't have the guts to compete with the prince of the dynasty.

When something happens, you can only admit it.

One has no connections, and two has no skills, so what can I use to compete with others?

Because of all kinds of taboos, and Si elder brother's overt and covert threats at the beginning, asking her not to mess with Gu Yaofang, at least get rid of the finger-pushing thing first.

But it is a hot potato to pull the finger, and it must be tricky.

Gu Huaishu naturally has a way to get the wrench, but what happens after he gets it?Hand it over to Yinzhen, won't Yinzhen cross the river and tear down the bridge?
It was wrong for her to go left, and it was also wrong to go right. She took every step carefully and carefully, and even pretended to be cheerful in front of others, as if she didn't care about her bad reputation at all.

Pooh!
She cares a lot about Gu Huaixiu!
Gu Zhenguan also dealt with Gu Yaofang's matter today, so she should say anything if she has anything to say.

She held it in for so long that she decided to say it now, feeling comfortable all over!
"The matter of the Taoist priest is nothing more than my father's way of repaying his own body. Whether it is an excuse or not, my father knows in his heart. He sent Miss Lin out of the Gu family through the mouth of a Taoist priest, and thought that she was no longer With a chaste body, I specially arranged for her to be the father of Ling Zhang, the head of the House of Internal Affairs under the banner of the Han army."

"If Miss Lin is left in our house, she will die. Either she will be soaked in a pig cage, or sent to the Zhuangzi, which will ruin the reputation of a scholarly family."

"This back road is really clean and beautiful!"

Word by word, strip out the truth hidden inside, bloody.

Gu Zhenguan could not refute, let alone deny.

Because Sister Xiu said nothing wrong, every sentence was stuck in his heart, and every sentence was true.

"I was the one who looked for the Taoist priest, and I have already agreed with Mrs. Lin Heng... She can do it for herself."

Well, what a treat!

Gu Huaixiu seemed to be tired of standing at last, and sat down in a daze, holding a fan in her hand, scratching the surface with her nails, she followed Gu Zhenguan's words casually: "Father really painstakingly, I want to send her Going to Qingyun. It's a pity, Huaixiu thinks...Miss Lin is really not a smart person. If she is not a daughter of the Han family, if her father has not resigned from office, and she boards the big boat of the prince, it is because she has ambition and ability , has wrists. But how many foolish things she has done behind the scenes, my father probably doesn't know at all."

Just that one finger pull, I don't know how big a disaster it is.

If there is no reason, Gu Huaishu will not easily say that Gu Yaofang is short-sighted.

Regardless of whether Gu Yaofang intends to use this finger as a reliance, or just inadvertently, taking this finger away will be a disaster for the Gu family.

She saw the benefits of being alone, but set the whole Gu family on fire.

Whether there is any quarrel between the prince and the fourth elder brother, Gu Huaishu has no way of knowing, but she can guess a little bit, so she becomes more careful.

This finger pull is probably a deal between the fourth elder brother and the prince.

Conspiracy is always tiring, Gu Huaishu really hopes that there will be a day when he can live without thinking.

People who don't use their brains can live easily, but their lives are too short; people who can use their brains may live longer, but they are too tired.

"From the Han family to the Han army flag, at least in the future, it will be justifiable..."

This is the reason for everything.

Not to mention that Gu Zhenguan has no official position now, even if he does, as a Han subject, he can't dedicate his daughter to the crown prince, right?But the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is different. Mr. Lin Heng has always been a shameless person, and he is used to flattering. I am afraid that Miss Lin will have a chance to fly to the branch.

It's a pity, what method should be used to get people into the palace?What's more, there are quite a few concubines, Ge Ge, etc., and they have to report to the Ministry of Rites if they want to be made a side Fujin.

Gu Yaofang?Disaster!
Perhaps, with her little scheming, this woman may not be able to go very far.

But for Gu Huaishu, this road is going to die.

Gu Zhenguan began to feel old, his hair was gray and his voice was tired.

"You are right. I paved a way for her in the end. Whether she can walk or not is up to her. Sister Xiu, I know you are not happy in your heart. I noticed the clues of those rumors, but I didn't punish her. You have suffered so many grievances, and now you still pave the way for her with a soft heart, maybe you call me stupid in your heart, but I... are her blood relatives after all..."

Gu Huaishu really wanted to say "You are not anymore", but when the words came to his lips, he choked up again.

She got up again, lowered her eyes, and saluted: "Poor parents in the world, I can understand what my mother and father have done. So many things happened today, my daughter is tired, so my father should take a rest. Say goodbye with my sleeves."

After speaking, she backed out.

Gu Zhenguan opened his mouth, but didn't say a single word of convincing.

Gu Huaixiu flapped his fan intermittently and walked back from the corridor.

Qing Dai first went back to tidy up for a while, and when she was done, she came to Gu Huaishu, she knew that Gu Huaixiu was there to check on the situation.

Now it's spread in the manor that the eldest lady is like a dead fish, pulled out of the master's house by the housekeeper, old Xu, and she is still tossing about in the house.

"Miss, your face... seems to be..."

Gu Huaishu stopped in her tracks, and she raised her hand to touch her face, "Really? You don't look very good, do you? It's weird when you get better."

She walked forward, passed a small lotus pond at the back of the garden, and fanned herself vigorously with a round fan, but the fan accidentally hit the coral pendant hanging under her earlobe, causing her to frown in pain.

He took off the pendant and threw it into the lotus pond, folded the round fan and threw it in too, Gu Huaishou gritted his teeth, upset.

If you don't do it, you will never stop.

Seeing that Gu Yaofang is going to leave without paying any price, how can she be willing?

As the saying goes, one pays for another, and the debt two years ago should also be recovered.

"Qingdai, I'm not going back to the house, let's go see the elder sister."

As soon as Gu Huaishu turned his footsteps, he changed direction and walked up.

She was very abnormal today, Qing Dai guessed what happened, but she didn't know how serious it was.

Now seeing Gu Huaishu's murderous appearance, Qing Dai was frightened and hurriedly followed.

Gu Huaishu wants to play with a big one, and now she can't pull back even nine bulls.

A prince wants to play with a woman, but he doesn't take care of the aftermath, so he entrusts the matter to the evil star, the fourth elder brother; a fourth elder brother, who helps the prince with his affairs, is also full of flowers, and he doesn't know what to do. As for Gu Yaofang, if she dared to take things from others, she would naturally have to pay a price.

Everyone is saying when is the time to repay the wrong, but if the revenge is not repaid, I will hold back!

Very suffocated!
With a sullen face, she walked quickly to the front of Gu Yaofang's yard. The maids were all outside, and some were still crying softly.

Gu Huaishu scanned around, but he didn't see Qingxi, so it was just right that he wasn't there, this person was Gu Yaofang's confidant, and it would be troublesome to have her around.

Gu Yaofang's cries, cursing, and the crisp sound of smashing the porcelain in the room came from the room, mixed with old Xu's occasional advice...the sound really hit my ears, and it made Gu Huaishu very happy to hear it.

She didn't bother to say hello to anyone, so she went in directly, stood outside and called out: "Butler Xu."

Old Xutou immediately called two wives to restrain Gu Yaofang, and then he had a chance to escape, and bowed to Gu Huaishu: "Hello, Miss San, this is..."

Gu Huaixiu smiled gracefully: "It's good to be a sister, seeing her leave soon, I'm not that cold-blooded and heartless person, so let's take a look."

Whether this is true or not, only Qing Dai knows.

Old Xutou knows that there are many things going on in the front yard, but the backyard is a blur, he?How can I feel that Gu Huaishu is not so kind.

There are many people in the world who make trouble, and Gu Huaixiu is probably one of them.

As soon as he heard the word "Miss Lin", old Xu knew what it meant.

Now that Gu Yaofang is no longer from the Gu family, she needs old Xu to weigh the matter.

Old Xu bowed his head and said: "Miss Lin is making a lot of noise now, I'm afraid that Miss Lin will make more noise if the third girl enters..."

"What's so difficult about this?" Gu Huaishu gently clasped his fingers with both hands, very elegantly, and said happily, "Miss Lin has always been in poor health, and she usually drinks soothing soup for sleeping. It's strange to be able to bear the accident. The subordinates should be careful when doing things, and if they don't serve Miss Lin well, they can't let her leave our Gu family intact, even ten heads won't be enough!"

The words are so clear, old Xu thinks about it, and there is no way to make Gu Yaofang so noisy.

Although the third girl's method is not very authentic, how can she deal with it with ordinary means in this extraordinary period?At this time, it is also a practical way to pour soothing soup.

He hurriedly said: "Third Miss is very right, this old slave will do it now."

Old Xu beckoned to find a few people, and asked them to boil a bowl of decoction that soothes the nerves and relieves sleep, and then asked Miss Lin to drink it.

Gu Yaofang drank too much medicine on weekdays, and she just returned home today, so she had already prepared some tranquilizing soup and brought it over as soon as it warmed up.

Gu Yaofang was still crying in the room, scolding Gu Zhenguan for being cruel and heartless, and saying that he was always shameless and should not punish herself for the sake of the Gu family's face.

She was afraid that Gu Zhenguan would let her die, she was afraid and angry, coughing and vomiting blood in anxiety.She cried and fainted a few times, and when she woke up, she could continue to cry, it was really...

Didn't tell her to die, and she was so frightened when she walked a broad road?
I'm afraid you can still enter the Prince's Mansion, but after entering, you will look like a human being, or you will be swallowed until there is no bones left. Let's see when Gu Yaofang's head turns around.

The mothers-in-law have all trained their maids, and each has his own methods.

As soon as the Anshen Decoction came over, he held down Gu Yaofang and poured it down for her.

The room was noisy at first, but it quieted down within a quarter of an hour. The women came out and said "sleep", and the governor was done.

Gu Yaofang is leaving today and tomorrow, and she won't be staying in Gu's house for long, what Gu Huaixu is going to do is only today.

She said, "I'll go in and see Eldest Sister."

Old Xu thought for a while, stood outside, and didn't follow in.

Gu Huaishu walked in, and there was still a woman standing in the room.

"Miss Lin is asleep?"

Gu Huaixiu asked the woman, and at the same time walked over, Qing Dai lifted the curtain outside and let her young lady in.

But Gu Huaishu waved his hand and told her to wait outside.

The mother-in-law was very respectful: "Responding to Miss San's words, she has already fallen asleep after drinking the calming soup."

"Go out, I'll have a few words with Miss Lin."

Gu Huaishu looked at the mess of the place, carefully avoided the broken tiles, and then came to Gu Yaofang's bed.

She was emaciated, her face was pale, her eyelids were tightly closed, like a person who was about to die.The hair that was originally well-coiled was all scattered, like a beggar.

Gu Huaixiu came to Gu Yaofang step by step, Qing Dai was guarding outside, and the mother-in-law also went out.

No one doubted anything, Gu Huaishu didn't kill or set fire, what could happen?
But no one knew that what she was going to do was much more thrilling than murder and arson.

Looking at Gu Yaofang who was lying there, ignorant of the surrounding things, Gu Huaishu finally laughed out loud.

She scanned the room first, thinking that such an important thing, Gu Yaofang would not hand it over to the maid, and she had just returned from Gu Zhenguan, so she would not hide it under the box, most of it would still be on the bed.

Going forward, he touched Gu Yaofang's body, but found nothing.She then lifted the pillow, and sure enough, she saw a delicate purse under it.

The most direct way is often the most effective.

Thanks to the special situation now, she was given medicine directly, and Gu Yaofang usually guarded Gu Huaishu just like guarding against thieves.

Even when Gu Huaishu made a move, he still had to consider whether it would alarm others. Now there is no need for it. Seeing that Gu Yaofang is leaving, who will take care of her?

I'm afraid that the maids and women who used to serve in this room will not end well.

But what does that have to do with Gu Huaishu?
She opened the purse expressionlessly, and sure enough, she took out an emerald green wrench.

I can't see what's wrong with this finger ring, the boss's one must be eye-catching if worn.

Gu Huai folded his sleeves in thought, frowned, and unconsciously rubbed the inner side of his fingertips, and turned the jade ring again.

For this seemingly innocuous finger wrench, what about it?

Maybe it is a royal thing, and every piece is registered, or the shape is drawn?unlikely...

His fingers stopped suddenly, Gu Huaishu suddenly touched something, and his heart skipped a beat.

The fierce and cold face of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen flashed quickly in her mind, and her fingers trembled, but she made a decision in the next moment.

As long as the wrench has passed her hand, no matter whether she knows the tricks in it or not, she will inevitably be stained with fishy smell.

Since there is no way to avoid it, so what if the suspicion is confirmed?

If you are going to die, you will definitely not be able to escape. If you can live, what is it?
She thought about it for a moment, and flicked her fingernails to the inside of the finger, and when she looked again, she gasped.

It turned out to be the case.

A finger pull, but there is a cave hidden inside.

Gu Huaishu's fingers were very nimble, and after making the decision, he never trembled again.

She read it carefully, but her heart was shocked.

No wonder, no wonder the fourth elder brother put on the appearance of doing things for the prince, but perfunctory on her side!
But this note...why is the prince looking for the finger puller?
Can't figure it out.

She only knew that troubles were coming now, and since she read this note, she was faced with a new choice.

Wrench, what should I do?
Mixin, what should I do?
Take away the wrench finger, Gu Yaofang will definitely cause trouble when she wakes up, and she may stab the prince.

Gu Yaofang should not have discovered the secret of pulling the fingers, otherwise she would have returned to the prince's arms long ago, and she would not have to suffer in Wuxi for two years.

After careful analysis for a while, she decided to take the risk.

Even if she is unlucky, she has to make those high-ranking masters worry about it for a while.

What's more, there is no other way but this now.

On the one hand, she has revenge, but on the other hand, she has no choice.

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't finish thinking about it in a blink of an eye.

Put the finger back into the purse and put it under Yaofang's pillow, but Gu Huaixiu put away the note and hid it away.

Taking one last look at Gu Yaofang, Gu Huaixiu just sneered, "I just hope that I will never see you again in this life!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, "Qing Dai, go back to the house."
