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

Chapter 4 I Love Him
Fang walked around the corridor, and Zhang Tingyu saw the situation in the pavilion through the unblooming crabapple.

Today, Gu Huaixiu changed into lake blue and stood beside Gu Zhenguan, seeming to be talking to Zhang Ying.He didn't know what he said, but Zhang Ying, who was always serious, was smiling all over his face.

He approached and heard the conversation inside.

"Huaixiu is just too playful. Her mother was also a talented woman before she was alive, but I don't know why she is so ignorant. On weekdays, I have to fight with me for a long time when I write a word. I still remember that your eldest son can write well. Although my daughter is not comparable to a man, but my girl has been crooked in her handwriting so far. How can there be a girl from a poetry and book family? I am soft-hearted, and I am reluctant to punish her. I just wait to ask a gentleman to restrain her. "

Gu Zhenguan said casually, and at the same time took a look at Gu Huaishu's unhappy face, and felt relieved immediately.

This girl is too disobedient to discipline, she is fine in front of outsiders, but once she returns home, without other people, she will become a lawless mess.

If you don't take this opportunity to hurt Gu Huaixiu, there will be no chance if there is no one else.

Gu Huaixiu cares about face, and also cherishes Gu Zhenguan's face, and does not easily lose face in front of others.

She held back and said nothing, just waiting for them to bring this topic to light, and then she took the opportunity to leave.

It's just that she underestimated the ability of Gu Zhenguan's old friend, Mrs. Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying stroked her beard and heard that Gu Zhenguan had just praised her eldest son, and suggested: "You don't have to worry about this, why bother?" Please invite an outsider to be your husband. My eldest son Ting Zan is more than ten years older than your third daughter, so he should be her husband."

Originally, Gu Zhenguan and Zhang Ying were introduced to each other as close friends and confidants, and they spoke straight to the point without much detours.

As soon as Zhang Ying proposed, Gu Zhenguan's eyes lit up. He wanted to like several young masters of the Zhang family, especially his eldest son Zhang Tingzan, whose name was Youchen, who was a Jinshi in his twenties. It is also a blessing to have sleeves, sir.

At that moment, Gu Zhenguan said: "Then I will trouble your servants. My girl doesn't listen to teaching, just beat her."

"..."

Gu Huaishu opened his mouth, but under Zhang Ying's and Gu Zhenguan's half-smile gazes, he didn't even utter a single word.

She had finally come to terms with it, why did she feel that the two always wanted to punish her together?
Her mouth was bitter and she didn't want to speak.

But Zhang Ying asked her with a smile: "Is the niece of the Gu family not willing? Could it be that she looks down on my dull son?"

He won the Jinshi at a young age, how dare Gu Huaishu say anything?He didn't dare to offend Zhang Ying, so he nodded and reluctantly said: "Uncle Zhang is joking, uncle loves you, it's too late to be grateful, how dare you despise it? Thank you uncle."

"So it's settled like this. Recently, my eldest son is fine. It just so happens that my only daughter is married, and the courtyard next to her courtyard is unoccupied. If you don't ask someone to come out, you can send you to school tomorrow. "

In a few words, Zhang Ying took care of things.

Gu Zhen nodded and agreed, and Gu Huaishu didn't have the qualifications to say "no", and suddenly became a little frustrated.

After saying this, Zhang Tingyu happened to come over. He heard about the fact that his eldest brother became Mr. Gu Huaishu. Gu Huaishu over here took a look and hurriedly said "Farewell", just to avoid suspicion.

Gu Zhen nodded her head and told her not to leave the mansion either.So Gu Huaixiu turned sideways and went out from the other side of the stone pavilion.

Zhang Tingyu only saw Gu Huaishu's side face, but he was even more amazed than yesterday.

He didn't look too much, and leaned over to salute Gu Zhenguan, "Greetings to Father, Uncle Gu."

Zhang Ying asked: "But something is wrong?"

The letter Zhang Tingyu presented had already been opened and read. At the moment Zhang Ying took a look at it, and she also frowned.

Gu Zhenguan took a look and smiled: "It must be another court affair."

Zhang Ying sighed and pinched the letter paper. The matter on the letter was not confidential, so she said to Gu Zhenguan: "Brother Yuanping, you should know that there were two people who served the emperor together, and they were quite favored. One was me, and the other It is Xu Qianxue. This person is the teacher of Nalan Rongruo, the son of Mingxiang. You also know him. He first joined the Mingzhu Party and fought against Suo'etu; Shoes, in turn count Mingzhu."

"Of course I have heard of this person, he is a person who is greedy for power."

Nalan Rongruo, Gu Zhenguan's best friend in the past years, was also Xu Qianxue's disciple back then, and he also mentioned Xu Qianxue.

"Before I was deprived of office, he had been impeached one after another since the 27th year of Kangxi, and this year, he finally capsized." Zhang Ying seemed unwilling to say any more, and handed the letter to Gu Zhenguan.

Gu Zhenguan saw that this person wrote to Shandong Governor Qian Yu to cover up the corruption case of Zhu Dunhou, the head of the Ministry of Officials, and has now been dismissed.

"Back when you were taken from office, this person obstructed you. Now that Xu Qianxue has collapsed, he must return to court very soon."

Zhang Ying shook her head, just put the letter away, and said to Zhang Tingyu: "You go, tell your elder brother later, and invite him to be Miss Gu San's teacher, reading and writing. As for the affairs of the court, don't worry about it for the time being, we will talk about it when we return to Beijing. "

"Yes."

Zhang Tingyu bowed and stepped back, thinking of something in the blink of an eye.

Gu Zhen looked at the demeanor of the second son in the back, and nodded with satisfaction: "Your sons are all bright and clear, as elegant as the sun and the moon, and have the air of a gentleman."

The two of them are very satisfied with the marriage between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Yaofang. Zhang Tingyu is already Gu Zhenguan's prospective son-in-law, so the more they look at it, the better.

Zhang Ying laughed loudly, but said: "If you don't know him well, it's natural to see him everywhere. This time, my literary talent, knowledge, and even strategy are first-class, even worse than my brother. It's just..."

Hearing the other party's hesitant words, Gu Zhenguan became curious, "Don't hesitate to speak, if you ruin my girl, I will have to think carefully about this marriage."

"Where did you go?" Zhang Ying sighed, "The rest of my sons are talented and talented, but this time they hide their beauty in their chests, and their temperament is too similar to mine, so they seem to be more scheming."

This is just Zhang Ying's worry as a father. Gu Zhenguan thought about her useless son, and only advised him: "Sons have their own blessings, what are you doing, I think he is good, playing chess and chess— —”

Gu Zhen saw that Zhang Tingyu was good everywhere, but Gu Huaishu felt sorry for him.

With a future daughter-in-law like Gu Yaofang on the stall, the hard days of the second son are still to come.

She was led for a walk in the garden by the servants of the Zhang family, and when she was tired, she sat on the side, while the servant girl of the Zhang family walked away automatically, so as not to prevent Gu Huaishou, the master and servant, from talking.

"This is a terrible situation. Miss, you said that you have an extra husband for no reason. What kind of medicine is sold in the master's gourd?"

Gu Huaishu gently scratched the silver thread embroidery on his cuff with his fingernails, and said slowly and casually: "It's impossible to marry me to that Zhang Tingzan after all, don't worry. I'm just worried..."

Just worry about the matter itself.

Gu Zhenguan has an inexplicable obsession with reading and writing. The family can't discipline her. Especially after her mother left, she became even more lawless. It may be better if she simply invites an outsider.

After all, Gu Huaixiu is not young anymore, and now Gu Yaofang is about to leave the court, if Gu Huaixiu still has that reputation outside, I am afraid that he will be worried about getting married.

Do you look good these days?No, a good family depends on their virtue when they get married.Gu Huaishu obviously didn't.

And this face can only annoy her elder sister.

Now that Gu Zhenguan asked someone to teach her, she just wanted her to calm down, and if she said it, she could say that the third girl of the Gu family had learned well, so that she would not be unable to marry in the future.

Gu Huaixiu can also know a thing or two about his painstaking efforts.

But knowing it is one thing, whether to listen to it or not, and whether it can follow suit is another matter entirely.

Yesterday, Gu Zhenguan and Zhang Ying casually talked about their children's marriage, and then sent a summons back to Wuxi, and the round trip only took three to five days.

When Gu Huaishu thought of Gu Yaofang's reaction when he heard this, he wanted to laugh.

"Let me see, Second Young Master Zhang is really the best choice for a son-in-law. It's useless to ration it to the eldest lady." Qing Dai is still brooding over this matter, and she can't see an enemy.

Qingdai said these words like a car wheel for countless times, Gu Huaishu could hear cocoons in his ears, so he said helplessly: "How many times have I ordered you, don't talk about this nonsense."

Qing Dai defended: "Miss, you are not allowed to talk about the matter between you and the Zhang family, but I am talking about the matter between the young lady and the Zhang family."

Gu Huaishu was almost overwhelmed by it: "Yum wood head!"

Qing Dai pursed her lips, frowned, and suddenly muttered: "It's said that the eldest lady is good at writing, but you have a bad reputation, I don't think it's not all the eldest lady—"

"Shut up." Gu Huaishu's eyes finally turned cold, and he looked at Qing Dai.

Qing Dai was really wronged, she only vaguely knew the whole story, but she didn't know why the young lady kept covering it up, and even swallowed her anger and let the young lady step on her face.But Miss must be afraid of doing this, no matter how grievous Qing Dai is, she can only bear it: "Qing Dai knows her mistake."

"Okay, it's my tone, don't take it to your heart." Gu Huaishu stood up, only looking at the setting sun spreading in the lake, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just watch it .”

When the news of the two marriages is reported back to Wuxi, Gu Huaixiu will be able to enjoy the show.

According to Gu Yaofang's temper, it would be strange if she was so angry that her seven orifices smoked and her old illness relapsed.

She walked towards the corridor, and the maid of the Zhang family was still waiting not far away. Gu Huaishu thought of the Zhang Tingyu she had seen before, and she said softly: "I feel sorry for Eldest Sister."

At the end, she murmured again inexplicably: "However, I feel sorry for Second Young Master Zhang more..."

After Qing Dai heard this, she thought that Gu Huaixiu had newly recognized the eldest son of the Zhang family as her husband, and she had to learn to read and write, so she made amends with a serious face.

"The maidservant also loves Miss very much."
