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

Chapter 32 Getting Married
The day Sun Lianqiao came in, Gu Hanchuan's face was full of joy.At that time, Gu Huaixiu was still thinking that this person actually didn't know who Sun Lianqiao was.

From then on, Sun Lianqiao, who was not as old as Gu Huaixiu, became Gu Huaixiu's second sister-in-law.

In the first half month after entering the house, Sun Lianqiao didn't make any moves, but at the end of the month, he had already grasped the power of the head of the house. He was not a simple person at all.

But having said that, she was still laughing at Gu Hanchuan a while ago, but when she was about to leave the cabinet, she still couldn't recover.

In fact, she is no different from Gu Hanchuan, what does she know about Zhang Tingyu?

Looking at his own face in the mirror, Gu Huaishu shook his head and laughed.

Quan Fupo, who was invited back from Wuxi, was a very honest-looking woman with rough hands. She was a relative from afar. She had all relatives and children.

She helped Gu Huai put the sleeves on her hair, opened her face and painted her eyebrows, twisted the fine features of the bride's face with fine wool, made the face smoother, and combed her hair with a new comb.

"I used to comb people's hair in Wuxi, but I've never seen a girl with such a good face, nor have I seen such a transparent person like you."

"I'll comb your hair..."

"One brushes to the end, two combs the white hair to match the eyebrows, three combs the children and grandchildren all over the floor, four combs and four silver bamboo shoots are all neat, five combs the old man's husband and wife are harmonious, six combs the husband and wife respect each other, seven combs and the seventh sister descends to the earth, eight combs the eight immortals. Come to celebrate the birthday, Bao Ya travels through the lotus road, nine combs and nine sons have everything in a row, ten combs and husband and wife are old and gray."

Gu Huaishu knew that before dressing up and getting married, he had to sing ten comb songs, but when he sang this song on himself, he was a little confused.

She thought of the eight words "full of gold and jade, a happy marriage for a hundred years" that she heard that day, and she felt slightly hot in her palms, and a little sweat broke out.

Dahong's wedding dress was draped over her body, and she got up early in the morning to work, but she had to get married before noon.The customs of the Han people are different from those of the Manchus. One is at noon and the other is at dusk.

Gu Huaishu hardly fell asleep last night, and he didn't feel sleepy when he woke up this morning.

She smiled and asked the grandmother who combed her hair, "If you comb your hair too much, will it be good for a hundred years?"

"Girl, don't talk nonsense, this is an auspicious day."

Grandma shook the comb, and quickly made a silent gesture for Gu Huaishu.

Gu Huaishu then remained silent, closed his eyes slightly, and waited for others to work in front of him.

Her dowry entered Zhang's house yesterday, and a small stone cube went with her. It doesn't matter what she takes as a dowry, but there is also a cook.Gu Huaixiu doesn't care what other people think. In the days without Xiao Shifang, I'm afraid he can lose weight quickly.

Gu Huaishu is a person who indulges in appetite, if she is not allowed to eat well, it is better to let her die.

It's nothing to marry a cook as a dowry, it's good that Gu Huaishu didn't move his kitchen there.

October [-]th, the weather is already cold.

Sun Lianqiao is in charge of the current Gu family, but Gu Jiao is just helping out. Seeing that the rules of the Gu family have finally been corrected, the house is much more stable.

She walked in from the outside, asked Grandma if she was dressed up, and then moved closer to Gu Huaisu: "When I got married, I wasn't as beautiful as my third sister. It's really enviable."

Gu Huaixiu liked Sun Lianqiao quite a bit. Although he didn't have much contact with him, it seemed that his aura was right, and he was considered speculative.

Hearing Sun Lianqiao's compliments on her, Gu Huaixiu didn't even blush: "Second sister-in-law, just laugh at me, the girl's family is the most beautiful this time, even if she is ugly, she should be the most beautiful in the world at this time of."

"Haha... Look at her, she has a face. If you dare to say that, you are not afraid of those ugly monsters who will beat you after hearing this."

Sun Lianqiao giggled, causing all the maids and women in the room to laugh too.

The hour was approaching, so they talked for a while, Sun Lianqiao had a look at the situation here, and she was going to go out to entertain guests later.

Gu Huaishu had four dowry maids and one maid who was close to her, and they all followed her this time.

Naturally, Qingdai was also beside her, but unexpectedly, when choosing a wife, Gu Huaishu did not choose Zhang Ma, but chose Zhou Shi, a woman in the outer courtyard, which made Zhang Ma feel a little embarrassed.

Gu Huaishu won't put any uncertain factors around her, she can't trust Mama Zhang.

When the time came, the people in front said that the young master was here to pick him up, so Gu Huaishu put on the red hijab and went out surrounded by a group of maids.

When getting married, the bride's feet should not touch the ground, otherwise it would be unlucky, so a bride came to go out with Gu Huaixiu behind her back.

When the Zhang family came to welcome their relatives, eight red satin sedan chairs embroidered with rich and noble peonies were carried.

Gu Huaixiu didn't have to worry about anything, he couldn't see anything with his hijab on.In short, she will do what others ask her to do, and Xi Niang or the servant girl will remind her of all the things to be done.

In fact, think about it, getting married is nothing more than that.

Sitting in the sedan chair, under the red hijab, she turned out the cake in her sleeve and ate half of it to fill her stomach.

After a while, they entered the inner city. Han people are not allowed to live in the inner city, but the Zhang family is different after all. Kangxi specially approved and allowed to build a house in the inner city.

Li Guangdi and Zhang Ying can be regarded as the most powerful Hanchens at this time.

Thinking about these far-fetched things in her heart, she was drowsy, and she was sleepy at this time, but it happened that the sedan chair fell down at this time.

Someone was throwing things on the ground in front of them, and they were so confused that they couldn't recognize what it was. At this time, a large group of children ran up happily and picked up the things on the ground. There was a lot of laughter and excitement.

Gu Huaishu froze, but kept walking, being led forward, step by step.

At that moment, she could only see the road under her feet, which was three feet square.

It was too narrow, she didn't know where she would go next, she didn't know what scenery was ahead, and she couldn't see who was leading her.

There were only congratulatory voices around, which were very clear.

Going up the steps and entering the gate, there are people singing on both sides, shouting "The bride enters the gate".

After passing through the second gate, it stopped under the main room.

Gu Huaishu suddenly felt that his life was so simple and ordinary during the ancient worship to the heaven and the earth, to the high hall, and to the husband and wife, until he was sent to the bridal chamber, and there were no accidents.

There was nothing like robbing relatives or escaping marriage.

Things that are too dramatic seem to have nothing to do with her.

There are a lot of maids in the new house, just as Gu Huaishu sat on the wedding bed, a woman led someone over to greet her.

"The slaves are waiting to see the Second Young Mistress, and the Second Young Mistress is well."

Gu Huaishu said softly: "Everyone get up, Qing Dai—"

Qing Dai understood, stepped forward and distributed the silver pickles that she had prepared earlier to everyone, making the maidservants smile happily, the new lady is a big spender.

Gu Huaishu was a little tired and a little hungry, he just waved them away, and when they left, he lifted the hijab and asked Qing Dai to bring him something to eat.

There was a lot of things on the table, and there were red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds hidden in the brocade quilt she was sitting on. When she touched a red date, she put it in her mouth.

Qing Dai hurriedly snatched it away: "Miss, this is not edible."

Gu Huaixiu rolled his eyes, got up and stretched, snatched it back, took a bite, and then hummed: "Is there anything I can't eat? If these things are useful, there won't be so many bitter women. They're all hungry." , you take it and eat it too."

She touched under the brocade quilt and stuffed it to Qingdai.

Qing Dai couldn't laugh or cry, her whole body was going to be stiff.

Even if Gu Huaishu dared to eat it, she didn't.

"Miss, you..."

"I have wine today and I am drunk today, but I don't know what tomorrow will be like..."

Gu Huaixiu had never been to the Zhang family's mansion in the capital, but looking at it now, everything was unfamiliar.

The four dowry maids were all standing beside them, they were all picked out by Gu Huaishou not long ago, they were not as close to Gu Huaishu as Qing Dai, so they dared not come forward.

Gu Huaishu glanced at them, then sat back slowly, peeled a peanut, and stuffed it into his mouth: "The people who are in the house today are all from Gu's residence. I think you have heard about my temper in Gu's residence." , Come this month first, don’t make trouble for me, and behave with your tail between your legs. You just keep in mind one thing, this first month, I don’t care if you die.”

Today is different from the past, Gu Huaishu has left Gu's mansion and moved to a new place, so he has to be cautious in every way, find out the situation first and then make plans.

The most important thing is to see what Zhang Tingyu, who is willing to marry him, thinks.

"If you understand, tell me." Gu Huaishu raised his eyes and looked at the four maids.

All the names are auspicious, such as Duohuan, Duoxi, Duoan, Duofu.

These few were all serving outside Gu Huaishu's house before, she saw that they were not bad, so she picked them in, and she considered promoting these few.

As soon as Gu Huaixiu said, how dare he kneel down to show his loyalty without gratitude?
Gu Huaishu smiled slightly, but couldn't tell what expression it was on, and called them up again.

She walked around the room, got acquainted with it a little, and then sat down to eat.

There was still the winter melon candy that Xiao Shifang left behind when he left in the sleeve, Gu Huaixiu was not too sweet, she ate it all up, and then picked up a few dishes on the table to eat, and when she finished eating, she was afraid to clap her hands and asked Qingdai: "Can you see that I have eaten it?"

Qing Dai was sweating coldly, shaking her head.

Gu Huaishu's eating skills are quite clever, he eats something from each plate, it looks like there are so many things on each plate.

Gu Huaishu stepped back and looked at the desktop, "I can't see it either."

This time when he was full, Gu Huaishu went back to sit and act like a wooden man.

The outside has always been very lively, with a large number of guests, and there are no literati or high-ranking dignitaries between the feasts.

This time, Zhang Ying's reinstatement is the boss.

As today's groom officer, Zhang Tingyu has been dragged to drink, but he is still very restrained and not drunk.

It was not until it was dark that the guests dispersed one after another.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a physical labor at all, and the Zhang and Gu family are so busy that they don't touch the ground.

Zhang Tingyu walked through the corridor, followed by Ade with a smile on his face.

He has a relatively calm temper, he is not very cheerful, he looks very serious, after some dealings, few people dared to stay and make trouble in the bridal chamber, at this time he finally calmed down.

Ade rubbed his hands: "I haven't asked you for a reward yet..."

Zhang Tingyu paused and turned around to take a look.

That pair of pitch-black eyes made Ade tremble coldly when he saw them, and he immediately slapped himself on the face, ouch, how could the second master's temperament be rewarded by others?

"Heh... that... the little one talks too much, so much—"

"...Let's go."

Zhang Tingyu clapped his hands and continued to walk forward.

In the new house, the candles were brightly lit, bringing a bit of warmth.

Ade stood behind, looking at the few taels of silver wrapped in red paper in his hand, a little dazed...

The moon must have come out from the sea, and the sun must have come out from the west tomorrow morning... this... this...

"Hey, second master, wait a minute..."

Zhang Tingyu, with his hands behind his back, was about to walk around from the corridor to his courtyard to the east, but Ade still didn't follow.

Unexpectedly, a black shadow slowly moved out in front of him, and Zhang Tingyu stopped in his tracks: "Third brother."

Zhang Tinglu drank a little too much today, he is still young and has a rather naive personality, but recently he seems to have suddenly understood something, even Wu Shi often praised him, saying that he is more and more like his big brother up.

"Second brother, I have something to say, it's like a stick in my throat, I can't spit it out quickly."

Normally, Zhang Tinglu wouldn't come to ask, but after drinking a little wine today, and seeing his second brother marrying Gu San, he felt that if he didn't ask, the brotherhood in this life might come to an end.

So he came and stood in the cold wind and waited for Zhang Tingyu for a long time.

There were no waves on his face, his eyes were as calm as a deep lake, Zhang Tingyu's lips curved slightly: "Then let me explain."

Explain?

Is he really confused or fake confused?

Zhang Tinglu has never felt that her second brother is so incomprehensible to others. He usually doesn't say a word, but what about the things he does?

"That day, I told my second brother that I had a slight crush on Miss Gu San. The second brother told me that everyone has a love for beauty. Second brother, you didn't finish what you said, but do you want to tell me next? Brother, I actually don't like Gu San?"

"Yes."

Without denying it at all, Zhang Tingyu was rarely frank.

There are still many maids and women walking around in the opposite corridor. The banquet is over, and they have to withdraw the banquet. They are all busy.

Here, the two brothers stood facing each other in the shadow under the corridor.

Zhang Tinglu laughed out loud: "I never knew you were so despicable. Second brother, are you really the second brother I know?"

mean?Zhang Tingyu never knew that the word despicable could also be used on himself.

There was a gentle smile in his eyes, and there was a faint light in his eyes, "Third brother, be careful with your words."

"I told you that I like a girl from the Gu family, but you went to ask your father for marriage, isn't it mean?" Zhang Tinglu didn't think she really wanted Gu San, but what she couldn't get in this world was the best. .Even though he didn't really have any intentions for Gu San at first, but now he is going to carve this name into his bones.

The stars and the moon hang high, and the night wind is slightly cold.

Zhang Tingyu put one hand in front of his body and the other behind his back. He seemed to be thinking about some ancient song, and his fingers moved slightly.

"So the third brother thinks, why not be despicable?"

"..."

Zhang Tinglu was suddenly dumbfounded.

Why not mean?
What should Zhang Tingyu do to be considered not despicable?
"Since you were young, your elder brothers gave way."

As Zhang Tingyu spoke, he paused for a moment, and his memories flowed gently through his heart along with his gentle tone of voice.

Zhang Tinglu was shocked, and looked up at him, trying to see his expression hidden in the shadows, but she couldn't.

He could only hear his second brother's voice, which was no different from the gentle and steady voice of the past.

Zhang Tingyu said: "But there are some things that cannot be given up, nor should they be given up. If you give up, maybe people will gain an inch. Some things, not only can't be given up, but even more should be taken away."

"Whatever you want, take it, why not?"

He didn't want to justify himself, whether it was insidious or despicable...

Zhang Tinglu should also understand that things in this world are not what he wants, and others have to obediently offer them with both hands;

Zhang Tingyu has given way too much in the past 20 years, but this time, and everything after that, he doesn't want to give up half a point.

Forbearance is one thing, letting go is another.

He didn't pay attention to the expression on his younger brother's face, and seemed indifferent. He just flicked his sleeves lightly, and walked towards the room with the candlelight.

The maids and women are all outside, separated by a bead curtain, projecting warm red candlelight.

"Second Master." The boy outside and the maid and woman inside all bowed in salute.

Zhang Tingyu opened the curtain, see?The woman with the red hijab sitting on the wedding bed straightened her back slightly after hearing the sound outside.

There was a faint smile on his lips, and when he got closer, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Gu San, he snatched it from others, from heaven.
