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

Chapter 39

After all, Sun Lianqiao is not an enemy if he is a friend, so he has no reason to come here to target his married sister-in-law.

Gu Huaishu never doubted her intentions, but felt that it was a bit strange for her to test herself like this.

After all, Sun Zhiding was working in the palace, so he couldn't be too careful.

Gu Huaishu and Sun Lianqiao went to the stone pavilion in the back garden to watch Gu Hanchuan play chess with Zhang Tingyu.

Just now when she heard Sun Lianqiao say that the two played chess, she was surprised for quite a while.

Gu Hanchuan is a bookworm, and although he won the prize by relying on stereotypes, his brain is not very bright after all.She didn't know Zhang Tingyu well, but she felt that Zhang Tingyu should be able to easily defeat Gu Hanchuan.

After all, Gu Hanchuan, a stinky chess player, has never won under Gu Yaofang's hands.

At the beginning, Gu Yaofang was the eldest sister, she liked to find others to play chess, and sometimes taught her maid to play chess, but most of the time she played chess with Gu Hanchuan.

Gu Huaishu didn't say this, but he was ready to see Gu Hanchuan's black face.

But when he actually stood outside the stone pavilion, Gu Huaishu frowned.

This situation seems to be a bit different from what I imagined.

Gu Hanchuan's face was full of red, with a smile on his mouth, holding a chess piece in his hand, and knocking on the side of the stone table next to the chessboard with some complacency.

Zhang Tingyu, who was sitting opposite him, was the complete opposite. His arms were stiff, and he was holding the chess pieces and moving them around the board, as if he didn't know where to play.

Not to mention Gu Huaishu, even Sun Lianqiao was taken aback for a moment.

As his wife, can Sun Lianqiao not be clear about Gu Hanchuan's virtue of playing chess?

Seeing this situation now, and then coming over to quietly look at the situation on the chessboard, it would be very embarrassing.

Gu Hanchuan, who was always regarded as a stinky chess player, performed surprisingly this time. A big dragon rushed into Zhang Tingyu's black pieces, aggressive.

But Zhang Tingyu's chess pieces are scattered and disorganized, and there is no way to see them—or, there is no way at all.

With a look of embarrassment on his face, he dangled the chess piece on the chessboard, and finally let go of it and threw the chess piece to admit defeat.

"Snapped."

Zhang Tingyu sighed when the chess pieces landed on the board.

"Second Master Gu's chess skills are astonishing, and Ting Yu is not as good as him."

"Hahaha... Accepted, accepted!"

Gu Hanchuan laughed heartily, with a smug expression on his face, and even cast a contemptuous glance at Gu Huaishu.

Gu Huaishu stood silently behind Zhang Tingyu, seeing the maidservants standing around, they also laughed, not sure if they were happy for Gu Hanchuan, or they were laughing at Zhang Tingyu.

She couldn't see Zhang Tingyu's expression, but felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Another one that can be installed.

Taking a careful look at the chessboard, Gu Huaishu saw that the two masters were going to clean up the chessboard, but she suddenly said: "Second brother and husband don't need to work, I'll do it."

She stepped forward, rolled up some of her sleeves, and put the pieces on the chessboard back into place one by one.

Seeing this, Sun Lianqiao also came up to help.

This scene, falling in the eyes of others, isn't it a red sleeve?
There seemed to be a vague sense of loss on Zhang Tingyu's face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.He picked up the tea and drank it, glanced at Gu Huaixiu, but didn't make a sound.

On the other hand, Gu Hanchuan, who was opposite, peeled an orange, looked at Gu Huaixiu with a smile, but said, "Brother-in-law, it seems that you still have a way. I think sister Xiu is not so fierce and difficult to approach after she gets married. Look at this You are so virtuous, you even come up to clean up the chessboard yourself."

Gu Huaishu listened, and squeezed the hand of the chess piece.

She hypocritically widened the arc of her lips, squeezed her throat and said: "Second brother knows me very well, thank you for your compliment."

Hehe, compliments.

I can't wait to stuff all these chess pieces into his mouth!
A dog can't spit out anything like ivory!

As far as Gu Hanchuan's brains and tongue are concerned, even if he entered the court and became an official, within two days he was forced to resign just like Dai Youqi, the number one scholar in the current discipline.

It was said that Gu Zhenguan was already quite a sophisticated person, but because he couldn't get rid of his literati habits, he felt that the officialdom was filthy, so he resigned and went back to seclusion.The words are sweet, resigning from office and going back to seclusion, and doing well in the court, who would resign if nothing happened?

So, it was still forced.

Every three years, there are so many people who become Jinshi and rank, but how many of them will eventually become a generation of famous ministers and admired by others?

Most of them were made into wine bags and rice bags, and some even went to the guillotine or were assigned to Ninggu Tower.

Gu Huaishu sighed inwardly, but continued to pick up the chess pieces in his hand, looking very attentive.

Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly, she didn't pay attention to Gu Huaishu at first, but at this moment, she realized that her gaze had actually been on the chessboard.

He said, "Second Master Gu is just joking", and when he turned around, he praised Sun Lianqiao politely.

Sun Lianqiao didn't blush, but said: "Brother-in-law, you should promise him. I don't know the virtue of my second master? Sister Xiu was a good girl before she got married. I knew her well. Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Fortunately, you don't feel ashamed to say that. You are two years younger than me, yet you dare to put on such an old-fashioned appearance."

Gu Huaishu seemed to be kindly spitting at her, and the sister-in-law picked up the chess pieces in twos and fives and put them back into the chess box, and it was almost time for dinner.

Before leaving, Gu Hanchuan suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, if you have time, why don't you go out with me to participate in some literature meetings, poetry meetings and so on, so that you can learn a lot. I heard that you didn't take the provincial examination this year, and now you don't have any." Fame is not easy to get away with. Making friends with some literati early on will have many benefits."

Gu Hanchuan is a Juren, if he didn't win the Jinshi this spring, it's hard to guarantee that he won't win the next year.

He acted like someone who had experienced it, and taught Zhang Tingyu a lesson.

Zhang Tingyu really has no fame, so he just bowed his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, second brother. If there is a chance later, I will definitely go with second brother."

Gu Hanchuan's vanity was satisfied, and he walked down the steps with figure-of-eight steps.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Zhang Ying is the same. He donates an official to you based on his ability. It's such a simple thing."

In this imperial court, there are no more than four ways to be an official.

One, rely on silver.This is a crooked way, and there is a more implicit term called donating officials.Second, rely on relationships.There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and it has been a wise saying for many years.Of course, there is a third, more powerful way, which is to let the emperor come to you by himself.Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang and his ilk are mostly officials who waited for a rabbit to come. This kind of officials is the most brilliant, often gaining both fame and fortune, but ordinary people do not have this ability.The fourth is the imperial examination.The imperial examination system established in the Sui Dynasty enabled poor families to produce noble sons and selected a large number of talents.

Gu Hanchuan himself took the fourth path, but he felt that Zhang Tingyu was different.

What is Zhang Tingyu's identity?
The second son of Zhang Ying, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Ying is not a corrupt official, but he is not short of money. How easy is it to find an official for his son with money?What's more simple, based on his status, in the court, if anyone can't give him face, at least find a fat vacancy for his son to fill in.If Zhang Ying puts his heart into it and moves his wrists, he will be able to help his son up in a short time.

But Zhang Tingyu is already in his twenties, yet he has no fame or official position, which is too strange.

So Gu Hanchuan was puzzled.

He didn't care that it might be embarrassing to say such a thing, he just cared about himself and didn't care about other people's thoughts at all.

Gu Huaishu and Zhang Tingyu live under the same roof now, they are still grasshoppers tied to the same rope, when they heard Gu Hanchuan speak in such an embarrassing way, they raised their eyebrows, and there was already a bit of chill between them.

Sun Lianqiao was really going to be pissed off by Gu Hanchuan's ineffectiveness, so she leaned forward, and under the cover of the wide-sleeved robe, she grabbed him fiercely, while looking at Gu Hanchuan threateningly.

Gu Hanchuan was about to cry out in pain, but when he saw his mother-in-law's fierce eyes, he faltered.

With a grunt, he swallowed the pain into his stomach, and this time he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he finally shut up and stopped talking.

Gu Huaishu looked back at Zhang Tingyu, but saw that he was always smiling, and seemed indifferent to Gu Hanchuan's impolite words? .

But at the same time, another question came to Gu Huaishu's mind.

The four sons of the Zhang family are all powerful, and I heard Zhang Ying and Gu Zhenguan say that the second son Zhang is also very powerful, but he just played chess...

She thought carefully about the chess records she wrote down when she put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and she only hoped that she would not forget them when the time came.

How deep Zhang Tingyu's mask is, Gu Huaishu hasn't figured it out yet, so take it step by step steadily and slowly.

The four of them had nothing to say all the way, and went back all the way, and chatted for a while before sitting down and eating together.

During this period, Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu had almost no communication, and the whole process of returning home was actually very dull.

If there is anything thrilling, it is also here in Gu Huaishu.

She went back to her room, packed some clothes, found an excuse to invite Bai Qiaoniang, but told her the palace news she heard from Sun Lianqiao.

Holding those old clothes, Bai Qiaoniang was a little surprised. She wanted to ask Gu Huaishu where he got the news, but felt offended, so she didn't say anything.

She said: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhang Er, for letting me know. I will change the clothes for you when I turn around. Please rest assured."

"Just say what you say. I don't have much to do with this matter. You just make it clear to your father. I don't want to involve me in this matter, and I don't know what is going on."

Because Sun Lianqiao didn't say who the maid who asked for the medicine was, nor did she say what kind of medicine she was asking for, so it was hard for Gu Huaishu to decide.

She was in Zhang's family, so she didn't have much influence at first, at best she could get acquainted with Bai Qiaoniang, but now that she knows about the affairs in the palace, she only sells Si elder brother as a favor.

What if I don't sell this favor?Waiting for Gu Yaofang to mess around?I don't know what will happen.

On the one hand, she was looking forward to getting rid of this evil fourth elder brother, but at the same time she had to rely on the fourth elder brother to handle affairs.

Gu Huaishu suddenly felt that there was really no difference between her and the fourth elder brother's servant.

Laughing at himself, Gu Huaishu said: "You go, just these few clothes, you can send them back to the mansion if you want to."

Bai Qiaoniang seemed to be afraid of Gu Huaishu, who dared to risk his life to fight with the fourth elder brother, after that incident.

She didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect any more, and stepped back in a polite manner.

Gu Huaishu just stood in his room looking at her, and suddenly realized a truth: if it's a soft persimmon, don't blame others for pinching you.

It's just that sometimes the hand that holds the persimmon is not as hard as it is, and it still only has to be held.

She laughed out loud, turned her head and asked Qing Dai: "Have you found Yu Pei?"

"Not yet, I always feel that this room has been turned over..." Qing Dai muttered.

Gu Huaishu didn't care: "Almost all the valuables have been taken away, but this house is still there, and half a box of jewelry that is not very useful is still there. You can look for it..."

It doesn't matter if someone comes to turn it over, Gu Huaishu said so, but when he heard this, he turned his face and went to look in the study cabinet, his hair was still loosely tied to the cabinet door.

She opened the door of the cupboard, and there were a few rare ancient books inside, which could fetch a lot of money if they were sold.

Originally, this strand of hair was prepared for ancient books, but Gu Huaishu remembered that he forgot a big event.

She took out a few books and piled them on the table, then squatted on the ground to open a book, took out a few pieces of rice paper inside, and then smiled.

The handwriting on this rice paper is neat, delicate and elegant, with a bit of strength, and the cursive script on the back even has the taste of silver hooks painted on iron.

She glanced at it, then put it on the table, brought a cup of tea and poured it on the paper.

When I was about to get married, I was so busy with everything that I almost forgot about it.

She put the teacup upside down and watched the tea gradually smear the ink and wet the ancient books aside, then bent down to continue sorting.

After a while, Qing Dai said pleasantly: "Miss, I found it. This is the other one you bought with your aunt last time."

When I left Zhang's mansion in the morning, I encountered a strange thing. A shabby boy like a little beggar stole the jade pendant and cheated me of a tael of silver.

Qingdai still remembers that the silver was given by the second master to Ade who was beside her, but the jade pendant was taken from her waist.

The jade pendant is in the purse and has not been taken out yet.

It was a Pisces sapphire pendant with auspicious meanings in it, but now Gu Huaishu told her to turn over a topaz pendant, the carving style is similar, it should be bought from a craftsman back then of.

When she found it, she told Gu Huaishu.

Gu Huaishu told her to pack something up and send it to Sun Lianqiao later.

A small box carved with red sandalwood and incense, only about the size of a palm, with the jade pendant in it.

After Qingdai finished dressing up, she showed it to Gu Huaixiu. Gu Huaixiu was holding it up, looking at the Pisces pendant inside, but thinking about the little beggar he met this morning.

Jiangsu, Li Wei,
Her fall in the morning was not for nothing, it was because she was frightened.

It turned out that he was cheated by a beggar who didn't know his life or death. Although it was rare, he didn't take it seriously.She thought it was just normal, but the few bastards who chased after him called that brat's name, and his name was Li Wei. Didn't this scare Gu Huaishu?

She felt that if she died one day, it must be because she knew too much.

"Yeah, when did this...teacup...God..."

Turning her head, Qing Dai saw the mess on the desk, she was startled, and after a closer look, she found out that it was actually a few ancient books that Gu Huaishou once collected, so she hurried to tidy up in the corner.

Gu Huaishu also got up to look over, and said: "I was looking for something for a while, but I accidentally knocked over the teacup. This is terrible. Hurry up and tidy up..."

She took out the thread-bound ancient books that were not stained with tea, and asked Qing Dai to wipe the ones that were wet on the bottom with a handkerchief. As for the paper on the table that could not be read, she threw it away.

It was already half an hour after the master and servant finished their work.

Gu Huaishu put the ancient books into a box, called someone to carry them away, put them in the car, and took them with him when he returned.

Then, she tidied up her clothes, "I'm about to leave, I'll go and give the jade pendant to the second sister-in-law, just to please my sister-in-law."

She went to the east wing where Gu Hanchuan lived, and in the side room saw Sun Lianqiao who was mixing incense in the room.

"Second sister-in-law, your room smells really good."

Gu Huaishu didn't like the smell of spices very much, but Sun Lianqiao didn't mind being in it.

She hurriedly sat down for Gu Huaixiu stretched out, while Gu Huaixiu gave her the jade pendant. "They are all worthless things. In the early years, my aunt and I went out to buy them. I just gave you an auspicious wish, and I hope you don't dislike them."

Sun Lianqiao knew that Gu Huaishu had already brought a gift to this room when he came back, and at this time, it was probably for her alone, the only one, and she immediately beamed with joy.

"Yeah, it's a Pisces."

The Pisces Pendant contains the way to reconcile yin and yang. This jade pendant is only half a finger long and the width of a thumb. It looks small and cute. Although it is not expensive, it is better than a good carver and a good intention.

Sun Lianqiao saw it, couldn't put it down, and immediately put it on her waist.

"This box is exquisite, red sandalwood..."

"what happened?"

Gu Huaixiu looked at Sun Lianqiao's eyes flickering, feeling a little strange.

Sun Lianqiao shook her head, "This red sandalwood is used as a packing box, you can don't do this, sometimes a good thing can turn into a bad thing. It's a three-point poison, so you can't use it indiscriminately."

That's a word of caution.

Gu Huaixiu was secretly shocked. Although Sun Lianqiao just said it casually, it showed that she was careful about these things.

Sun Lianqiao, who is proficient in medical skills, is really extraordinary.

Gu Huaishu remembered something and had to ask her: "I went home today and saw my father, but I saw that he was thin. You are proficient in medicine, and I just hope that you will take care of it. I am an unfilial daughter, I can't Serving him around, the second elder brother is inexperienced, the fourth younger brother is a concubine, and once he can't speak, the whole house also looks at his sister-in-law..."

But Sun Lianqiao smiled: "Don't worry, I just checked my father-in-law's pulse not long ago. I have more worries, and I'm afraid I'm not in a good mood. These are heart problems, and they can't be cured for a while. Take your time. But the father-in-law's body is still strong, and he will live a long life, you just put your heart in your belly."

At Gu Zhenguan's age, all the birthday materials have already been prepared.

To put it bluntly, when Gu Zhenguan closed his eyes, he could go straight to the funeral and bury him.

Those who live for a long time will be called "happy mourning" when they die.

But even though Gu Huaixiu still had knots in his heart, he didn't want to see anything wrong with Gu Zhenguan, so he asked Sun Lianqiao a few more words.

Her room is full of spices, and the compartment is full of medicinal materials, which were all brought in as a dowry when she entered the house.

Sun Lianqiao said: "This room smells strong, you should come out and talk with me."

After this chat, we talked about Sunset West Mountain again.

It was time for Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu to leave, but Gu Zhenguan sent them all the way outside the door, watching from afar.

Gu Huaixiu in the car sighed, turned around, lowered the curtain, and saw Zhang Tingyu looking her up and down without hiding his researching eyes.

Gu Huaishu said: "Second Master is good at chess."

Zhang Tingyu smiled: "Not as good as your brother."

Gu Huaishu sneered, and didn't bother to talk to him, "It means you like to lose face."

"My father said that a loss is a blessing. When I come here, a loss is a blessing." Zhang Tingyu has his own fallacy.

The two of them didn't talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, so they simply stopped talking. You read your book, and I will be stunned.

After a while, he returned to Zhang's residence.

Before entering the door, Ade went to Jia Ding to ask for news, and came back to report: "Master, the kid who robbed things in the morning didn't catch up. He said he ran faster than the crazy rabbit, but he caught a few people who ran away." A bastard who has no strength, asks some useless things."

"Since it's useless, let's let it go."

Zhang Tingyu didn't care too much, there were too many sneaky things in the market, how could they easily find someone when they encountered this?Reporting to officials is reporting to officials, but officials may not have time to investigate.

Simply casual.

Zhang Tingyu didn't care, and Gu Huaishu certainly couldn't show that he cared.

When she heard the result, she followed in without asking any questions.

Just after they came back, the couple went to visit Wu's house together, but they were told that Wu was sleepy, saying that they had greeted him in the morning, and they would see each other more in the future, so they don't need to come every day to avoid being upset.

See more upset.

Such words spit out from the mouth of the woman next to Wu's, but she was smiling, as if there was no malice at all.

There are two capable people around Mrs. Wu, a mother-in-law, from Wang Fushun's family, and a big maid named Chang'an.

At this moment, the one named Chang'an looked well-behaved, with only a big black and shiny braid, like an ordinary big girl.Although she looks good, she doesn't dress up much, she looks honest, but her eyes are piercing, it doesn't look like she doesn't know anything.

Wang Fushun's family is a bit bloated, and they began to put on weight when they got older. The thick double chin is festive and a bit blessed.

After she finished speaking with a smile on her face, Chang An listened from the side without interjecting a word.

Gu Huaixiu didn't answer, and Zhang Tingyu said: "Since that's the case, don't bother mother. Huaixiu, let's go."

He turned around, and didn't necessarily want to see Wu Shi at all. He turned around and pulled Gu Huaixiu and left.

The eldest maid Changan and Wang Fushun's family in the back were very polite, she bowed to see them off, and then went back to tell Wu Shi.

Where is Mrs. Wu feeling sleepy?She was talking to Zhang Tingyu who was sitting in the room.

The fourth son, Zhang Tingyu, is only ten years old this year, but he has outstanding talent, he is already able to make a match, and Wu Shi likes it very much.

At this moment, he seemed a little naive: "Why doesn't mother see second brother?"

Zhang Tingyu thinks that the second brother is not bad, and the second sister-in-law is also very beautiful.

He once said that he wanted to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law like his second sister-in-law, but his close maid Huanhua told him that his second sister-in-law was vicious, a beautiful snake in the garden, and told him not to talk to second sister-in-law , and he is not allowed to talk about the second sister-in-law in front of Wu Shi.

Although Zhang Tingyu didn't know why, but Huanhua had served him for many years, so he heard this and never said anything about his second sister-in-law.

He is young and ignorant, but he is very obedient and smart.

Wu patted his head, asked him how he was, and unbuttoned the buttons on his clothes again to feel relieved.

"Don't mention your second brother to me, it's because of his tough life that he almost killed your elder brother! You stay away from your second brother, do you hear me?"

Zhang Tingyu was frightened by Wu's sudden change of face, and was a little dazed.

"Fate hard?"

Children don't understand this yet.

Wu shi sighed, remembering the time when the eldest took the second child out in the spring when they were young.

The second child was playing in the river when he was young, and plunged into the water for a long time without getting up. Zhang Tingzan was so frightened that Zhang Tingzan was sweating on the bank, and he went down to save his second brother regardless of his inability to swim. .As a result, he disappeared as soon as he entered the water. Instead, Zhang Tingyu emerged from the bottom of the water, and nothing happened.

Only then did the subordinates who followed him realize that they ran over to catch people. Zhang Tingzan was finally picked up, and half his life had already been lost. Lord Yan walked with him once, and only then did he get his life back.

At that time, she asked a Taoist priest to tell her fortune, and the Taoist told her tremblingly that it was the second young master who was determined to restrain the eldest young master.He also said that among the eldest son and the second son, there can only be one person who will be rich and powerful in this lifetime, otherwise he will commit suicide.

Wu's face was washed with tears, and he never left his bed during his serious illness.

Zhang Tingyu wanted to come in to visit the sick, but Wu called someone to beat him out, and knelt outside his elder brother's door for three whole days.

After that, Wu's heart was determined, and she felt that Zhang Tingyu had evil spirits in her life.

The other sons were all named Zan, Lu, and Xuan, with a side of the word "Yu", but Zhang Tingyu's name was named "Yu", and one person overwhelmed the three of the brothers.

She complained to Zhang Ying, saying that she shouldn't have such a name.But Zhang Ying didn't care, he said that the name was a matter of a lifetime, and it should not be changed after it had been mentioned.

It's Zhang Ying's business if Zhang Ying doesn't change, Wu Shi doesn't care, and she doesn't care about her son.

Zhang Tingzan almost died that time, how many times she had warned the eldest not to go with the second, but Ting Zan would not listen.Because Zhang Tingzan was old and had his own opinions, Wu had no choice but to focus on the third and fourth sons.

Anyway, in these years, whenever the brothers got close to Zhang Tingyu, some bad things happened.

Regardless of whether it was related or not, Wu only felt that it was Zhang Tingyu's fault, and she hated him more and more over the years.

Fortunately, the boss got a Jinshi early on, but Zhang Tingyu gradually became ordinary and achieved nothing.She began to feel that the Taoist priest was really outspoken, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan were two brothers, only one could be better.

These are old things, but they have been in her heart for many years.

After thinking about it, she began to sigh, poked Zhang Tingyu's forehead, and said to him earnestly: "You, don't go with your second brother, and don't go with your second sister-in-law."

"Why?" Zhang Tingyu frowned, very puzzled.

Wu smiled: "The lone star of Tiansha and the lone star of Tiansha are a couple. Your second brother has a hard life. He married a daughter-in-law but said it was IKEA. I think the Taoist is right. Ke Yishi IKEA , does not mean that your second sister-in-law is a good person. Character and fate are separate. "

"Is my second sister-in-law a femme fatale?"

Zhang Tingxuan remembered the words of the maid Huanhua.

"Yes, your second elder brother is a snake, and your second sister-in-law is a scorpion. They will be unlucky to meet you."

Although Wu Shi threatened him with words, she has four sons and a daughter under her knees, and without Zhang Tingyu by her side, she never feels lonely.

Zhang Tingyu nodded with a half understanding, but he thought in his heart that he was not afraid at all.His words were very childish, and he said in one go: "Just like what is sung in the opera, snakes and scorpions should be treated well!"

Wu Shi was amused by him: "Yes, it should be treated properly."

Zhang Tingxuan talked for a while in Wu's house before being taken away by Huanhua who came to look for him.

"Huanhua, I remember you and Sister Xinrui, is Sister Xinrui serving the second sister-in-law now?"

"Xinrui is still serving the second master, and the second young lady has brought a maid." Huanhua is cute and cute, holding Zhang Tingyuan's little hand, and going to school to see her husband, waiting for him to give him an evening talk.

"Bring your own maid, I heard that she also brought a cook."

Zhang Tingyu thought about it, then asked Huanhua: "Do you know my second sister-in-law's cook?"

This story has been widely spread among the servants, who has ever seen a dowry bring a cook?The servants all said that the second young mistress was spoiled and spoiled, but fortunately the second master was able to bear it, and did not throw the cook out.

She remembered that Xinrui was punished this morning, she knelt in the room until noon, and waited for the old lady to know before she woke up and went to the room to apply the medicine.As a result, the maid who applied the medicine came back and said that Xinrui's knees were all wounded, and her neck was also cut by a bead hairpin, which looked very scary.

Erfang disciplines the subordinates, even if the old lady wants to speak, she has to worry about the bride's face, she has already let go, and after a while, she will go to pinch her and vent her anger at Xinrui.

Seeing how the fourth son asked about the cook, Huanhua laughed and said, "I know that cook, he's amazing..."

Step by step, Huanhua slowly led Zhang Tingyu to the front of Langyuan.

The sun has been slanting for a long time, and when the sky is approaching dusk, there are numerous snowflakes floating in the sky, and it becomes cold immediately after seeing it.

Gu Huaishou, who had just returned to the house, held a hand stove, sat on the kang, crossed his legs, touched the stove with one hand, and held the chess pieces with the other, frowning.

Zhang Tingyu just paced around the room, reciting a book, knocked down a book in his hand, and glanced at Gu Huaixiu from time to time.

Gu Huaishu was annoyed by his look, and said angrily: "If you want to study, study hard, and pretend to be a little bit, the books are all upside down!"

Zhang Tingyu looked down, and it was as she said.But he didn't mind at all, he just threw the book on the kang, and lay on his back next to Gu Huaixiu, stretching out his arms to wrap around her slender waist: "I told you that you can't remember, you just want to let go , isn't this embarrassing your little brain?"

"Pooh!"

Gu Huaishu was on the chessboard.

She watched the game between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Hanchuan in Gu's stone pavilion today, and she knew something was tricky, and asked Zhang Tingyu, but he refused to tell, and even ridiculed her, saying that she was looking for trouble for nothing.

In a fit of anger, Gu Huaishu directly set up the chessboard, and slowly placed the pieces by himself.

But at that time, the board was full of black and white, even though she deliberately went up to memorize the positions of the chess pieces, she could not help remembering half of them and losing half.Therefore, the current chessboard is in chaos when it is placed in the middle.

Gu Huaishu was upset and wanted to shake off his hand and play chess by himself.

But when Zhang Tingyu saw her frowning and pursing her lips, he felt distressed for no reason. He made fun of her, propped his head with one hand, and went around her waist with the other, wrapping her between the chessboard and his arms, and twisting her hands together. A chess piece fell down with a "snap".

One, two, three, four...

Black, white, black, white...

The entire chessboard changed from sparse to compact, until at the end, Zhang Tingyu's slender fingers lifted a sunspot and pinched it high.

At that moment, Gu Huaishu held his breath for some reason.

Then, Zhang Tingyu chuckled, but he didn't drop the chess piece like he did in Shiting.

He was down here at that time, and his fingers wandered in the air for a long time, but he didn't go down.

Gu Huaishu became anxious, turned around and scratched him: "Hurry up and give it to me!"

Zhang Tingyu was very leisurely, stroking the chess pieces with his fingers, shaking his head: "I forgot, shouldn't I throw the pieces and admit defeat?"

"you!"

She gritted her teeth angrily, wishing she could bite him to death, "Don't think I can't see it, the situation of a trapped dragon is about to happen, hurry up and make a move!"

The situation of the trapped dragon is a saying that kills the big dragon in the chess game.

Zhang Tingyu looked her up and down, then smiled suddenly: "Idiot Gu San?"

Gu Huaixiu was speechless, and simply flicked the chess pieces on the chessboard, "I can't play anymore, I won't accompany you!"

She got up, walked to the table in two steps and poured tea for herself, calmly.

Zhang Tingyu flipped a sunspot in his hand, casually threw it into the chess box, but said: "I'm a half-assed player, I learned the trick of the trapped dragon from my elder brother. If you are really interested, I will ask you next time." Ask, or you can ask yourself. Students should ask sir for advice."

Gu Huaixiu rolled his eyelids, not intending to give him a good face.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt that this man was deliberately teasing her.

She watched it intently for so long, seeing that the impending dragon was about to come true, but he braked on the most critical blow!I really don't know?Gu Huaishu didn't know either.

Anyway, she was holding her breath in her chest and couldn't vent it.

Drink tea, drink tea, drink tea and let your breath flow.

Zhang Tingyu just smiled and looked at her suppressed anger, which seemed to be quite interesting.After marrying a daughter-in-law and coming back, tease her from time to time, life seems to be boring immediately.

He was watching a play, while Gu Huaishu was trying to calm himself down.

At this time, the room was silent, and it seemed that dinner was about to be set, but Qing Dai suddenly ran in in a hurry and knelt outside the curtain: "Second Young Madam, it's not good, something happened to Master Shi Fang, and the Fourth Young Master punished him to kneel on the ground." It's been more than an hour in the yard!"

Gu Huaishu was just letting go of the teacup in his hand, when he heard Qing Dai's words, he trembled suddenly, the boiling hot tea fell down the red lacquered tabletop, and white smoke billowed in the air.

Her eyes froze: "Punish to kneel?"
