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

Chapter 33

The sound of the bead curtains colliding was very crisp, and Gu Huaishu could already hear the respectful voices of the maids outside.

She was a little nervous, but she clenched her fingers tightly, and then straightened her back.

A familiar voice said, "Go down."

The surrounding maids and women seemed to be silent for a while, whether it was surprise or something else, but they didn't say a word of rebuttal.

Even Qingdai retreated from Gu Huaishu without a sound.

Everyone inside and outside the house disappeared, and no one said a word "no".Gu Huaixiu couldn't help but wonder what kind of temper this second young master had.

Gu Huaishu was always a little afraid of this one.

She saw half a shadow on the carpet in front of her, which was a little long, and it was drawn to her feet.

In the silence, he pulled the red hijab away casually, and threw it on the carved lacquer table beside him.

Zhang Tingyu said lazily, "Are you hungry?"

what?
Are you hungry……

Gu Huaishu couldn't react, it wasn't very bright in front of her eyes, the light in this room was still a bit dazzling to her.

Looking at Zhang Tingyu standing in front of her, Gu Huaishu had a confused expression on his face.

Because today is the day of her wedding, the makeup on her face is a bit heavy, her eyebrows are deeply drawn, her lips are bright red, and under the light of a red candle, her eyes are extraordinarily bright.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Zhang Tingyu only smiled slightly, and explained gently: "I've been sitting for a day, let's eat something to fill my stomach first."

He held out his hand to her—

Gu Huaixiu frowned, she really didn't understand what Zhang Tingyu was thinking, but she still put her hand in Zhang Tingyu's palm, and he dragged the little man who got off the bed and sat down at the table.

Zhang Tingyu couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and he was very calm and gentle.

But the more he behaved like this, the more anxious Gu Huaishu became.

How should I put it, this kind of marriage is also the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair, so it is strange that she is not disturbed.

Can……

This Second Young Master is too difficult to figure out, right?

There was no one else in the room, Zhang Tingyu looked at the crowded table and brought her a plate of steamed cake with eight treasures, but saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, thinking she was reserved.

"There is no one else here, no one will know if you ate."

"no……"

Gu Huaishu was slightly embarrassed, and her voice was a little guilty: "I'm not hungry..."

Long before he came in, Gu Huaishu had already swept everything on the table, and he was smart enough to average it out.

Whether it was the height of the pastries or the way they were placed, they were all changed after she ate them to make them more pleasing to the eye, and they didn't look like they had been eaten.

So Zhang Tingyu sat in front of this table and didn't notice anything.

But I didn't realize it was before, but now that Gu Huaishu said that he was not hungry, he stared at the plate of eight-treasure steamed cake with a strange guilty look...

When Zhang Tingyu changed his mind, he understood a lot.

His eyes wandered around the table and landed on a plate of hibiscus cake.

With a light hook of his finger, Zhang Tingyu hooked the plate of hibiscus cake in front of him, with a smile in his voice: "How about the hibiscus cake?"

"It's a bit sweeter, if you add less sugar, it will be more—cough..."

Gu Huaishu slipped the tongue, she quickly shut up, trying to make up for it, "I'm talking about the hibiscus cake I ate at home..."

It just gets darker and darker.

I don't know anything else, this hibiscus cake is light purple, nine pieces, stacked from the top to the bottom in the order of one, three, five, and now it is one, three, four, with one piece missing from the bottom.

Zhang Tingyu observed carefully, and now he scanned the other things on the table, and he knew why Gu Huaishu said "I'm not hungry".

"If you're not hungry, we'll have a drink."

Originally, he wanted to make her full, but now that she was full, there was no need to waste any more time.

Gu Huaishu almost choked on Zhang Tingyu's words.

She hesitated: "I'd better eat a little more..."

Raising his hand to pick up a piece of eight-treasure steamed cake, Gu Huaixiu took a small bite, but couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Zhang Tingyu who was sitting opposite her.

Today he was wearing a red wedding dress, but his face was still pale. Maybe it was because the candles in the room were too bright and warm, which also made Zhang Tingyu's eyes stained with fireworks.

Gu Huaixiu considered for a moment, then said: "Aren't you going to eat?"

I thought the groom would come back drunk, but when this man came in, although he smelled of alcohol, he was terribly sober.

She was looking for something to say when she had nothing to say, but Zhang Tingyu didn't want her to be embarrassed, so he also picked up a piece of hibiscus cake in front of him and ate it, it was indeed a bit sweeter.

"The pastries are all from the kitchen in the house. If you think there is something wrong, just ask your maid or Ade to talk to the kitchen..."

"I brought the cook here..."

Gu Huaixiu suddenly wanted to kill herself, and before Zhang Tingyu's cold gaze reached her, she lowered her head in time.

That's right, I've never seen a girl get married and find a cook as a dowry.

Zhang Tingyu smiled coldly, watching her slowly eating the piece of steamed cake in her hand, she didn't finish eating it for a long time, and she was not in a hurry.

He just tapped the table lightly with that finger, calm and peaceful.

Gu Huaishu is almost suffocating now, she has many questions she wants to ask, but she doesn't know how to ask them.

After eating a piece of steamed cake in her hand, she really couldn't eat anything.

Thinking about what happened in recent days, Gu Huaishu finally raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Tingyu. The anxiety before suddenly disappeared completely.

She asked: "Although there is a saying that if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog like a dog, I didn't think about anything else, I was just curious, why did Second Young Master Zhang take the initiative to propose marriage to the Gu family?"

The question is polite, but the question is actually very simple: Why can't you think about marrying me?
Gu Huaishu could hold back some words, but she couldn't hold back these words.

What position she is in Zhang Tingyu's place, what position she will be in Zhang's mansion, and what to do in the future are all very important. After all, she wants to live a better life and does not want to be a bitter woman.

Gu Huaishu, who wanted to be a sensible person, didn't hide her eyes, she looked at Zhang Tingyu.

But Zhang Tingyu picked up the white jade jug that was put aside, took two small wine glasses, and filled each of them: "Everyone has said that Mr. Zhang Er is a person with a dull personality. You must have heard a lot of such words. Yes. This statement is true..."

An irrelevant answer.

Gu Huaixiu didn't interrupt for the time being, and continued to listen.

"Who doesn't marry? Why don't you marry someone you like instead of marrying someone you don't know at all and someone else likes?"

Zhang Tingyu shook the jug, then put it down, but put the glass of wine that had already been poured in front of Gu Huaishu, he withdrew his hand, looked at the glass of wine in front of him, picked it up and stroked the edge of the glass carefully.

"In this world, as long as I can hold it, I will hold it; as long as I can decide for myself, I will not hand it to others; as long as there is a slight possibility of tempting, I should try it."

So he married Gu Huaishu.

Standing up, holding the wine glass, she walked to Gu Huaisu's side, and he pulled her up.

Gu Huaishu was also holding the glass of wine, but was so shocked by Zhang Tingyu's words that he couldn't find his tongue.

What does this mean?
Marry someone you like, and say that you can hold and decide, so you don't leave others, but what's the point of being tempted?
Gu Huaishu really felt that her brain was not enough. She stretched out her hand and pointed out an index finger: "Wait a minute, I'll take care..."

Even if you are married, at least you have to understand a little bit, right?

Gu Huaishu stared at Zhang Tingyu, she stood up to his neck, she was usually tall, but now she had an exquisite posture.

She asked bluntly: "I ask, you answer. Do you like me?"

Zhang Tingyu shook his head with a smile.

"..."

Gu Huaishu suddenly wanted to pour the glass of wine in her hand on his face. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger: "I don't like it, why are you asking me to marry me? Are you sick?!"

Zhang Tingyu saw that her face was almost unbearable and her hands were shaking violently, but she smiled, stretched out her hand, and held her jade-white palm, "Don't shake...you can't drink it with wine."

The eyes are soft and the smile is soft, but there is such a hateful taste when looking at it.

Gu Huaixiu frowned, stabilized the wine, but said: "My reputation is not good, although the emperor has a good word, it may not last long, for the sake of your family's reputation, why don't we get along with each other?"

And away?

Zhang Tingyu was startled, but the smile on his lips was slowly pulled down.

His hand holding the wine glass was steady, but his eyes were cold.

"Harmony?"

"...I mean, if Second Young Master Zhang doesn't really like me...it's better...to get together and get away..."

Gu Huaixiu didn't want to torment herself, she finally let the words out, it's not her style to give up halfway.

"You said that if you marry a chicken, you can marry a dog like a dog. If you marry me, Zhang Er, you can also marry me, Zhang Er."

Zhang Tingyu raised his wine glass, motioning for her to raise it too, but said: "I said I don't like you, but I never said I couldn't like you in the future."

"I have a bad temper, but if there is even a little bit of temptation, I should grab it. I am reluctant. If I let go of this little bit, I don't know when I will be tempted again."

"Marrying you is not because I like you, but because I am tempted."

It's just tempting.

Not to the extent that I like it.

Together with wine.

The two people's hands crossed each other, Gu Huaishou drank in a daze, and a little choked, her face was a little red, and her bright eyes were a little dizzy.

Looking at Zhang Tingyu, Gu Huaixiu frowned all the time, thinking that this man was really seriously ill.

But Zhang Tingyu said something shocking enough: "If you don't like it at this moment, it may not be that you don't like it in the future. Let's be a husband and wife first, and it's not too late to talk about it later."

If he was still drinking now, Gu Huaishu would choke to death.

This is the legendary "marriage first, then love", yes, she is also fashionable.

Gu Huaixiu smiled wryly, she was on a pirate ship.

Zhang Tingyu only held her hand, clasped his fingers tightly, walked to the side of the bed, lifted the brocade quilt, but frowned.

Red dates, peanuts and longan...

Why is there only one peanut left?
Zhang Tingyu picked it up, stretched out his hand and squeezed it lightly, there were still two peanuts inside.

Gu Huaixiu's face was a little uneasy, she just sat there with nothing to do, and ate them one by one.

Pretending that she couldn't see anything... She lowered her head, not looking at Zhang Tingyu's expression.

With two white peanuts in his palm, Zhang Tingyu smiled and naturally understood what was going on.

It would be surprising if a person who can marry a cook to his husband's house does not do such a thing.

He squeezed the peanut, but handed it to her lips without saying a word.

Gu Huaishu raised his eyes, was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth obediently to eat.

"Fried?"

"It's raw."

Gu Huaixiu ate so much, so he naturally knew that it was raw and cooked, so he just said something.

But the next moment, she looked up at Zhang Tingyu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her face flushed immediately, and she shook his hand away, this man is simply shameless!
She is still extremely shy about things between husband and wife in bed.

Zhang Tingyu didn't mind, just came over, took off the heavy pearl hairpin on her head, and put it on the desk, soft long hair?Moments flowed from between his fingers.

He grabbed a handful, slowly kneaded it, and his voice was extremely gentle: "At least I'm tempted by you, but I don't know...how about Qing?"

ask her?

Gu Huaishu squeezed her hands and fingers together, she struggled for a moment, but said honestly: "Do you want to listen to the truth or lie..."

"..."

This time, it was Zhang Tingyu's turn to be silent.

He was speechless for a while, and then said: "Then let's not talk about it."

Gu Huaishu burst out laughing, his whole face became lively.

She sat on the wedding bed, and the arcs of her eyebrows and eyes softened, Zhang Tingyu only felt that her eyes were brightened.

People say that Gu San has an appearance that can overwhelm the country and the city, and it is indeed true.

only……

"This spring will go with the wind, where is the sound of cicadas in Xilu..."

He lowered his head slowly, but approached her with slightly flustered breath.

Miss Gu San is probably not an idiot.

What he was curious about was, if he slowly peeled off the outer skin of this beauty, what would be revealed?

The Gu San in the eyes of the world is not the Gu San in his eyes.

Gu Huaixiu felt a little ashamed when he heard this sentence.

The poem was originally written by someone else, and this line is just one of the lines she changed, and it is not her real talent.

She never thought that he knew this sentence, and it was a little embarrassing.Zhang Tingyu is from a scholarly family and is the son of Zhang Ying. She is also a talented person. What is her poem in Zhang Tingyu's eyes?
Gu Huaixiu said in embarrassment: "It's just playing with an axe, Mr. Zhang is laughing at it..."

Zhang Tingyu couldn't help laughing when he thought of the ghostwriting that day.

Naturally, he would not take the initiative to tell Gu Huaishu these things.He only peeled off her wedding clothes, threw her behind the screen, and stuffed her into the brocade quilt, then took off her clothes and squeezed into the quilt as well.

The red candles burned high until dawn.

In fact, the whole night, Gu Huaishu had only one sentence echoing in his mind——

Be a husband and wife first, and it's not too late to talk about love in the future.
