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

Chapter 38 Anecdote
I knew that this day was the day when Gu Huaixiu returned home, although my daughter had only been away for two or three days, but Gu Zhenguan suddenly felt a sigh of old age.

Sister Fang was sent away by him, and Sister Fang deserved it; and he originally thought that Sister Xiu didn't necessarily want to marry, but she finally agreed.

Perhaps on the one hand, it should be said that Sister Xiu is smart, and she may not meet such a good family in the future, but on the other hand, why doesn't she want to leave this family?
Gu Zhenguan sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, then thought of his son-in-law who was too clumsy even though he was willing to learn.

Ever since Sun Zhiding's daughter came in, she had more personal care and seemed to have matured a lot, but recently he liked Aunt Liu to accompany him more and more.

The older you get, the more afraid you are of being alone.

Before dawn, Gu Zhenguan opened his eyes and asked Aunt Liu to help him get up.

After a while, Gu Hanchuan and his daughter-in-law came to pay their respects, and Gu Mingchuan followed behind. While putting on his shoes, he felt that his old body could no longer hold on.

"Today is the day when Sister Xiu returns home. Brother Han's daughter-in-law is in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. I am very concerned about seeing it. But if you can help me out, go and help me out. So that Sister Sleeve can be happy."

After all, he, the father, lost his sister's heart. It would be good to marry into Zhang's family, but he thought too much in his heart.

Aunt Liu took his hand and helped Gu Zhenguan put on the shoes, she lowered her eyes and sighed.After the young mistress entered the door, her methods were very powerful.Is there anything she can get her hands on?It's just an aunt, just wait in peace and content.

Just out of mouth, Aunt Liu didn't dare to say that, she just responded meekly: "Sister Xiu is happy, master is also happy, it's my concubine's happiness."

Such a considerate Liu family can also make Gu Zhenguan happier.

He got up, met Gu Hanchuan and his wife, then met Gu Mingchuan, and talked about sister Xiu's return.

The inside and outside of Gu's mansion are all ready, this is the old sister-in-law Gao married into Zhang's mansion, and it's not unusual to have a good time when she returns home.

When Gu Huaishu arrived home, he hadn't expected such a grand occasion.

Probably, the people in the mansion were standing along the gate, and they were colorful at a glance.

She found it quite funny: "It's all because of your reputation."

Zhang Tingyu was beside her. Hearing this sentence, he felt a kind of ridicule.He said: "I am all under my father's glory."

The current glory of the Zhang family all comes from Zhang Ying and several ancestors, even if it has to be counted down, it is his eldest brother Ting Zan who is now the glory.He has already won the Jinshi, how powerful is he?

Speaking of the current Zhang family, generally only Zhang Ying and his eldest son Zhang Tingzan are known, and the others are just incidental.

After hearing this, Gu Huaishu said, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart."

This second master is also moody.

In fact, it can't be said that he is moody, it can only be said that he hides his emotions deeply, like wearing a mask. Under the mask, whether he is crying, laughing, happy or angry, only he knows.

Zhang Tingyu nodded, did not refute or answer, and finally, surrounded by everyone and greeted, he arrived at Gu's house for the third time.

The first time I came here was to propose marriage, the second time was to get married, this time it was Gu Huaishu returning home.

The scenery in the mansion is familiar to Gu Huaixiu, and the second elder brother and second sister-in-law greeted her outside.Not long after Sun Lianqiao got married, she didn't look like the little girl she was back then. The two aunts and sisters-in-law exchanged pleasantries and entered the room together, and only then did they come to see Gu Zhenguan.

Not seeing each other for a few days, Gu Huaishu only felt that Gu Zhenguan had lost a lot of weight for no reason, but he still looked tough. Aunt Liu was standing in the shadow behind and would not come out to meet guests.

"Tingyu pays respects to Mr. Yue Zhang."

Zhang Tingyu bowed to Gu Zhenguan, but was helped up by Gu Zhenguan himself.

He stroked his beard, looked at this quiet young man, and then at Sister Xiu, actually it was a good match for him.

"You don't need to be too polite, let's all sit down. Sister Xiu will be out of the cabinet for a few days, I miss you so much, and I hope that my son-in-law will come back with Sister Sleeve to see you during the Chinese New Year."

In ancient times, how many women married and never came back?
It's rare that the Gu family is still in the capital, the distance is not too far, and it's not that difficult to meet each other.

If there is a festival, I can see you if you find time.

Gu Huaixiu squatted down to respond, but there was an unspeakable feeling of being on pins and needles.

As if seeing the complexity in her heart, Sun Lianqiao finally raised her head and stopped looking at the pattern on her sleeve: "Elder-in-law, why worry? You and Mrs. Zhang Ying are best friends, so I ordered my sister-in-law and uncle to bring it back here." Li, didn’t you just see that Mrs. Zhang Ying specially sent some over for you? These small things should be simple. I think it’s better to let the second master take the uncle to the mansion. They also have something to talk about, you Here, talk to my sister..."

Gu Zhen glanced at Zhang Tingyu, then at Gu Huaishu, and finally nodded.

So Gu Huaishu and Zhang Tingyu separated.

Sitting in Gu Zhenguan's study, Gu Huaishu suddenly remembered the words he overheard under the window.

She lowered her head and didn't look at Gu Zhenguan, and Gu Zhenguan didn't speak for a while.

Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, the room was still silent.

Perhaps it was after waiting for half a stick of incense that Gu Zhenguan said: "You are over there, is everything all right?"

"Good or bad, no matter where you go, you should live with care. My daughter dare not forget my father's teachings."

She sighed and didn't continue to be stubborn.

"Do you still remember what happened back then?"

He let Gu Yaofang live, and even paved the way for her, just because he was his close relative.

But for Sister Xiu, it's hard to say that he doesn't have any guilt in his heart.

Gu Huaixiu had long let go of harsh words on this matter, she didn't want to talk too much, and there was no need to bother Gu Zhenguan with her grievances with Gu Yaofang.

Now that her father is getting old, it is better to enjoy his old age peacefully.

She saw that Aunt Liu was very considerate, she was a gentle person, and it was appropriate to take care of Gu Zhenguan.

Gu Huaishu avoided this topic, and only picked up good words to tell Gu Zhenguan that the father and daughter seemed to be in harmony.

But when he walked out of the study, Gu Huaixiu knew that things were already different.

There is no way to make up for the rift between father and daughter because of Gu Yaofang's matter, they can only avoid it.

When she came out, Lamei in the yard looked okay, she squinted slightly as she looked at the light yellow of the branches.

Suddenly a person came out from behind, respectfully, and with a bit of fawning, "Young lady is back..."

Looking back, Gu Huaixiu frowned almost invisible: "So it's Mama Zhang, why are you serving here?"

"If you want to return to the girl, the old slave just passed by here. After you left the cabinet, I was sent by the young mistress to Aunt Liu's yard. I passed by here just now. I saw that it looked like you, and I heard that you are coming back today, so I came up. Say hello to you."

Mama Zhang had a stiff smile on her old wrinkled face, she wanted to make it clear, but there were flaws everywhere.

Gu Huaishu didn't expose her, and she didn't take Zhang Ma and Xiang'er away when she left, so she naturally had her scruples.

Now that Mrs. Zhang is sticking to it, she has no choice but to hit a snag.

She lazily said, "Mama Zhang, do you have such a heart, but I don't remember much. If you miss me, I won't treat you badly. Qingdai rewarded Mama Zhang with two taels of silver."

Qing Dai finally came out from the side, and now she is more and more like a big maid.

She took out a tael of silver, put it into Zhang Mama's hand, and smiled sweetly: "Although I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems like I haven't seen Zhang Mama for a long time. Looking at it now, Zhang Mama, you still Same spirit as before."

Zhang Ma was a little confused, but after thinking about it, she didn't know how to speak.

Sun Zhiding's daughter looked like a naive girl. Zhang Ma thought that with her qualifications and the people she knew in the house, she had served the third girl before, so she could have a good job.Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun Lianqiao took over the power of the housekeeper, she would turn her face and deny anyone.

Zhang Ma is married to the housekeeper, Old Xu, and now Sun Lianqiao doesn't even give the old housekeeper face. Isn't it obvious that she is going to be used to make a killing?
Mama Zhang also went to see Gu Jiao, the aunt who was in charge of the matter, who expected Gu Jiao to be like a saw-mouthed gourd, and it would be useless for her to speak out.

She was not worried about herself, but worried about her daughter being buried.

Xiang'er has a good face, although she is a child of a family, it doesn't mean that she can't have a good future in the future.Now serving by Aunt Liu's side, what is it?Even if she opens her face in the future and becomes an aunt, she is just a concubine's aunt, how can it compare to being by Gu Hanchuan's side?

Therefore, Zhang's mother tried her best to find a good job for Xiang'er.

Gu Huaishu didn't know this level yet, nor did she know that Mama Zhang thought so deeply and so far.

But it doesn't matter, because she has served Gu Yaofang before, and she was a little bit dependent on the old in the past, so I don't want to see her long ago.At this time, Gu Huaishu didn't even give her a chance to speak, and said, "I'll go over there to see my uncle, I'm afraid they won't be in a hurry. Qingdai, let's go."

"Hey girl!"

How could Zhang Ma let Gu Huaixiu go, she knelt down to Gu Huaixiu with a plop. "Girl, the old slave is here today, and I want to ask the girl to help me talk about love..."

The man knelt down, and the sound of his knees hitting the bluestone was very clear.

But Gu Huaixiu's footsteps were just a pause, and she said coolly: "What's the use of begging me for the water poured out by a married daughter? If you have that kind of thought, you might as well do what you're doing. Qingdai, let's go."

She greeted her without even looking back, and then led the people away from here.

As soon as she turned the corner of the garden, she saw Sun Lianqiao approaching surrounded by a group of maidservants. She glanced calmly at Zhang Ma's side, and then glanced at Gu Huaixiu's peaceful face, and she already knew it. What is the situation.

It's just that Sun Lianqiao didn't say anything about it, and smiled: "I think my father-in-law is almost finished talking to you, so let's take a look, the two masters are still playing chess behind."

play chess?

Zhang Tingyu playing chess with Gu Hanchuan?
Gu Huaishu frowned, she didn't know what the situation was, so she didn't ask any further questions, she just said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry."

"What's the trouble? It's much more relaxed than when we were at home." Sun Lianqiao smiled with her eyes and lips, "My father is the history of the Imperial Hospital. It seems that there is nothing wrong, but the most secret thing is the doorway. I Mother has to deal with several waves of people a day, and even I have gradually become clearer."

The most indispensable thing in the palace is the way to manipulate and harm people. The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital are the swords of the masters of kilometers.

Gu Huaixiu knew that the most dirty place was the imperial palace, and there was a lot of filth behind it. Sun Lianqiao grew up next to Sun Zhiding. To ask her to be as clean and pure as a real teenage girl is to ask Gu Huaixiu to have no breasts. It is as difficult for the Chengfu to trust a person when it sees a person.

But, why did Sun Lianqiao just talk about her family?

Gu Huaishu took Sun Lianqiao's hand and walked away. In fact, Sun Lianqiao was a few years younger than herself, and she looked like a girl who hadn't grown up yet.

"The Gu family's family status is not very high, and things are simple, as long as you live well, why bother thinking so much?"

"That's true." Sun Lianqiao nodded, "The day before yesterday my mother saw that it was cold in winter, so she sent me some things and said a few words. I'm afraid my sister-in-law might be interested in these words."

This is where we get to the point.

Gu Huaixiu raised his eyelids, curled his lips, and looked at the road under his feet: "Oh? It must be something interesting."

"It's really interesting."

Sun Lianqiao felt cold sweat behind her back when she thought of what her mother had said in person, but she had to tell Gu Huaixiu about it.

On the side of the Sun family, they don't know if the Gu family has anything to do with the palace, for the safety of the whole family, it is unavoidable to come to check on Gu Huaixiu's words.

According to legend, Gu Yaofang and Gu Huaishu have always been at odds, and Gu Hanchuan is a fool who can't figure it out. It's useless to ask him, and he has to worry about accidents.

Now, testing her seemingly ordinary sister-in-law is the best.

"Yesterday, there was a court lady who sneaked into the imperial hospital to find someone and asked for some medicine. It was from Yuqing Palace. I don't know what the medicine is used for, but I have heard people say that internal affairs Mr. Fu Linheng has a daughter who is also serving in Yuqing Palace, if something is involved, it will be bad."

The footsteps finally stopped.

Gu Huaishu looked at Sun Lianqiao, who had an innocent face.

"Lady? Which one?"

"This...but I don't know."

Sun Lianqiao pursed her lips and shook her head.

For no reason, Sun Lianqiao would not talk about this matter. It must be because this matter is likely to be related to the Gu family, so she said it.

Sun Zhiding is a well-known imperial physician in the palace. He has seen the elder brothers and the empress dowager, so please do not use him for ordinary things.

This messy little matter is probably passed into his eyes and ears by the people below.

People in the Tai Hospital are aware of many things, they turn a blind eye and never pay attention to them.It is wrong for them to do things, and it is also wrong not to do things, so they simply let go and let it go.

Now this matter, I'm afraid there is no secret.

Gu Huaishu thought about it for a while, then smiled gently: "This is really an interesting thing. However, Lin Heng, the internal service leader, really can't get along with us, so it doesn't matter."

Having said that, Gu Huaixiu suddenly looked at his new clothes.

Although it is still winter at this time, it is time to prepare for spring and prepare new clothes early.
