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

Chapter 43
In the end, Xiao Shifang still had a hard life. In the past few years of his life, he has encountered two ordeals.

It was several years ago that I was almost frozen to death for the first time, and it is really strange to meet again this time.

While Qing Dai was talking about the things in the house, she said that if she survived a catastrophe, there must be a future blessing.

Gu Huaixiu thought the same thing, Xiao Shifang's situation was very dangerous, and he was hooked with good ginseng again, to hook his life back.

Recently, Gu Huaishu didn't go to see Xiao Shifang either. In the eyes of outsiders, she didn't even care about the life and death of a cook, which fully showed the indifference and ruthlessness of a superior to his subordinates.

But Zhang Tingyu knew it well, it had been a few days since he entered the door, and the first time he begged him, it was for a cook.

It's not that there is no ginseng in the mansion, but after all, that thing is expensive.The masters above thought, how can such a thing be wasted on a cook?

Even the chefs in the kitchen feel sorry for Xiao Shifang, but it is impossible to get ginseng.

It just happened that the fourth younger brother Ting Yu had a fever, so he was not allowed to touch any precious medicinal materials in the house, and prepared them for the fourth son, for fear that something urgent would happen.

The old lady had spoken, anyone who dared to touch the precious medicinal materials in the mansion would not have to stay in the mansion any longer, and would directly find Ren Yazi to sell them.

Gu Huaishu had no choice but to go out, he had just entered the house and hadn't gained a firm foothold in the mansion, so there was only one Zhang Tingyu to rely on.

Zhang Tingyu didn't ask any questions either, and just ordered Ade to go to work, go out in the morning, and bring back a good ginseng in the afternoon.

The maid who had instructed to take care of Xiao Shifang used this ginseng in a clever way, and finally saved Xiao Shifang's life.

Two ginsengs, from the original Gu's mansion to the present Zhang's mansion, Gu Huaishu told people that these two dooms must be in his life.

There was such a disturbance about Xiao Shifang, but then it calmed down strangely.

I heard that Huanhua was maimed and thrown to Ren Yazi, but no one knew where it went; Xinrui, the servant girl beside Zhang Tingyu, also disappeared inexplicably.

That was the person that the old lady put next to Zhang Tingyu, who was thrown out without any reason, and no one came forward to criticize him.

Gu Huaixiu thought it was Xinrui who had been punished by him before, so he was so angry that he couldn't come, but it was only later that he found out that he couldn't come at all.

Zhang Tingyu seemed to have known it a long time ago, calmly.

Because she was busy taking care of Zhang Tingyu these few days, everyone was exempted from morning and night sleep, and the old lady stayed by the fourth son's bed all day long, never leaving her.

The first room went to see it every two days, and did its best; as for the second room, Gu Huaishu thought about what happened that day, and picked out some good things he brought, but the maid found it when she went the next day. Those things were thrown in the corner of the garden, and I don't know how they were ruined.

At that time, Gu Huaixiu knew that this old lady really didn't like her in general.

But the other rooms all send things to the fourth son, and the second room can't ignore the fourth master just because the old lady ordered someone to throw things away.

Saving face is always a must.

Gu Huaishu is still asking people to deliver things over there today.

Qingdai came back within half an hour after leaving, with a long face.

Zhang Tingyu had already gone directly to the family school to read, and Gu Huaishu was setting up the chessboard in the room, living a leisurely life.

She raised her eyes, saw Qing Dai's face, and said slowly: "I'm thrown out, what's the big deal? The whole house knows that our second wife is ashamed, so why do you come back with a more embarrassing face?" ?”

Qingdai's eyes turned red, "It's all the things you picked out of your dowry and sent them in, but the old lady asked someone to throw them out without even looking at them. This time, I'm not as polite as the first time, just say Those who come out of our room are unlucky and will disturb the fourth son."

Gu Huaishu felt aggrieved, but after thinking about the reason why Master Zhang was ill, he felt relieved.

She was very stern that day and resorted to repeated tricks.Zhang Tingyu is just a child, seeing his personal servant girl being pressed and beaten like that, as well as the two servants from before, he might have been frightened.

Maybe he didn't understand what was wrong with him, which led to such a disaster.

On the one hand, he was freezing, but on the other hand, he was terrified. That's why he has such a high fever now.

It's just that the doctor has already said that there is nothing serious about it. Mrs. Wu has been guarding her all day long. It's because her loving mother is too much, and she made a big fuss over a molehill.

But as a son below, who dares to say that about her?

Even Zhang Tingzan didn't say a word, their unfavored second wife naturally didn't have the right to comment.

"Forget it, just pick some cheap ones tomorrow."

Gu Huaishu waved his hand, not caring at all.

Holding the teacup in one hand, and playing chess with the other, she asked, "How is Xiao Shi Fang?"

Qing Dai lowered her voice: "I just came to report that I'm awake and can walk down the ground...just..."

"Just what?"

The hand holding the chess piece paused, but still pressed the chess piece down according to the previous trajectory.Gu Huaishu's eyes flickered slightly, and then he heard Qing Dai's suppressed crying voice.

"Little master Shi Fang was hit on the right shoulder a few years ago. He was rescued at that time, but his right hand often couldn't use his strength. The doctor said earlier that if you can't stand the wind, cold and damp, you are afraid of something wrong. Several years ago It was frozen once before, and once again, I am afraid that it will hurt every year in the future."

Originally, the scapula part was cracked. At that time, I was young and had grown up. I kept paying attention to it. Except for the faint pain when the weather was cold and wet, it didn't seem to have any major impact.

But this time, it completely froze the roots of the disease that had not been cured before.

The cold air has taken root in the cracks in the bones, how can it be pulled out?

That's what others call rheumatism, but Xiao Shifang's shoulders and hands are more serious than this.

Gu Huaishu put down the teacup, feeling that no matter how warm the tea was, it would not be able to warm his hands.

She said: "After all, I failed to protect him..."

But what else?

Could it be that she was asked to cure Zhang Tingyu who did that bad thing?

A child who is taken advantage of and careless... The maids and servants who committed crimes have been beaten and maimed, and even Xinrui has been sent away. Who else can she go to? revenge?

I heard that Zhang Tingzan handled the follow-up of this matter, and even this ending was only persisted after Wu quarreled with him.

Zhang Tingzan didn't know what he was thinking. After he asked someone to sell Xinrui, the old lady was furious.

But Zhang Tingzan didn't talk to her, but went his own way and dealt with all these people.

As the eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Tingzan is indeed very powerful.

Gu Huaishu had to admit that under the prestige, there were still two brushes.

It's just this kind of approach, isn't it a peace of mind?

But apart from this method, I can't find a better way.

She sighed and said: "Forget it, you go out and take care of Xiao Shi Fang, I will go see him after a while."

"Yes."

Qing Dai bowed and retreated.

The second room is quiet, and there seems to be no trouble in the upper room.

Seeing that the Fourth Young Master could finally open his eyes to eat, Wu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and as soon as he opened his eyelids that hadn't been closed for a few days, he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Zhang Ying knew the news that the fourth young master was ill, but he only came back once, took a quick look, and went back to his own business.

Mrs. Wu wanted to make trouble with Zhang Ying, but she couldn't find anyone with Zhang Ying at all, so she could only give up and guard Zhang Tingyu by herself.

Now, as soon as a person is okay, the whole person will be sent down.

Chang'an and Wang Fushun's family only helped Mrs. Wu into the house and put her on the bed, so that she could have a good sleep.

"Go to the front and look at the fourth son, I will guard the old lady here."

Wang Fushun's family had just lowered the curtain, so they said this to Chang'an.

Chang An nodded and left without saying a word.

She went back to the Fourth Young Master's room, and just tucked in the quilt for the Fourth Young Master who had fallen asleep, when she heard the curtain slam.

Chang An was startled, and turned around: "Master?"

Zhang Tingzan walked in silently, and no one communicated.

He stood at the door, and Chang An rushed up to meet him: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Tingzan asked, "How is the fourth brother?"

"I just fell asleep after drinking some bitter medicine, sir, don't worry, the people below are doing their best to serve you." Chang An had two blushes on his face, and smiled lightly.

She has been serving the old lady for several years since she was a little girl.

These years, the young mistress has been in poor health, and the old lady is still in charge of most of the affairs in the house. The young mistress just watches from the sidelines and seldom intervenes.Therefore, as the maid in charge of Wu's side, Chang'an is in charge of many things, and she has gradually developed a demeanor of a master.

Zhang Tingzan seemed to know her very well, so he was not very polite at this time, he just said: "I'll talk to my fourth brother for a while, you go out first."

Chang An bowed his head meekly, and retreated from Zhang Tingzan's side.

She happened to be next to the curtain, and Lanhua finger lifted the curtain lightly, and was about to go out, but she looked back at Zhang Tingzan's back, and then slowly lowered the curtain again, and went out.

Zhang Tingzan was unaware of everything behind him and just sat by the bed.

After about a quarter of an hour, he said: "Is it enough to pretend to be sick?"

Zhang Tingzhen, who was wrapped in the quilt, shrinks back, and slowly removes a face from under the brocade quilt, looking at her elder brother with a pair of black and white eyes.

He dared not speak.

Zhang Tingzan said again: "Do you know that you are wrong?"

"..."

Zhang Tingyu was still young, he lowered his eyes and wanted to cover his face again.

"It can be seen that there is a sentence about Duke Ling of Jin in "Zuo Zhuan The Second Year of Xuan Gong". How do you say it?"

Zhang Tingzan did not stop him, but asked plainly.

Zhang Tingyu clasped both hands on the brocade quilt, squeezed it tightly, and said in a low voice: "It's so good that you can change it..."

"Get up and talk!"

Seeing the timid movements of his fourth brother, he raised his eyebrows, but his voice suddenly became cold, like a high mountain, a cliff, a cliff covered with ice.

Zhang Tingyu seemed to be frightened. He opened the brocade quilt, and stood on the carpet barefoot in a white jacket: "Zuo Zhuan said: what has happened can be improved, and there is nothing good about it."

"Didn't you eat?"

Zhang Tingzan still frowned.

"It's a good thing to be able to change it!" In his small body, everything that had been accumulated before seemed to explode. He blushed and read it aloud.

But after reading it, I cried.

Seeing him standing there crying, Zhang Tingzan didn't try to persuade him, but said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

"I killed Huanhua, I also killed that cook, and I killed sister Xinrui..." Zhang Tingxuan sobbed.

He was still a little kid, and if he said that a man would not cry lightly, he would only think highly of him.

Zhang Tingzan sighed: "You know that you have harmed someone, but now you are huddled under the quilt. My Zhang family's family training, have you ever taught you this?"

Zhang Tingxuan didn't want to cry, but when he remembered what he saw that night, he listened to Huanhua's words and punished the little cook. As a result, Huanhua was beaten to a bloody mess that night.

The snake-like second brother and second sister-in-law his mother said, especially the second sister-in-law, are so terrifying.

Zhang Tingyu vaguely knew that he had done something wrong, but he didn't dare to come out and say what he did wrong.

He huddled under the quilt, terrified all day long, and he didn't dare to come out when he heard that Huanhua and Xinrui had been sold.

"A man is a real man, there is gold under his knees, and tears are not lightly shed. If there is a mistake, it will be corrected, and if there is no one, it will be encouraged."

Zhang Tingzan opened his mouth, recited these two Zhang family mottos, and then looked at him, "Now you are wrong, where are you wrong, you have to think about it yourself, and how to change it, you have to think about it yourself."

Zhang Tingxuan remembered these two sentences, the son of the Zhang family, apart from being able to call his father and mother when he was born, all he would say afterward were the words in the family training.

They don't understand the meaning of these, but the teacher will teach them slowly in the future.

Everyone said that the eldest brother is very powerful, whether it is the people around Zhang Tingyu or those who are completely unrelated.All he knew was that his elder brother had pointed out a clear path for him, but he didn't know what to do.

"... Ting Yu understands." His bare feet felt cold, standing there was not as tall as his elder brother's waist, like a radish head.

Zhang Tingzan sighed, and reached out to touch his head: "You are ten years old, you should know something, don't stay in your mother's arms all day, mixed in the pile of makeup, how can you be so masculine? Mother is spoiled."

Zhang Tingyu knew that his mother was very kind to him.

But why, big brother, want to say that?

Zhang Tingyu was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but defend Wu: "Didn't Mother treat us very well? Sister Chang'an also treated me well, and the former sister Huanhua also treated me well... They said that I would not touch dangerous things. , and said that sooner or later I will be like you, big brother."

His eyes were so innocent that Zhang Tingzan didn't even have the intention to smile wryly.

Everyone lives like Zhang Tingzan, how terrible will this world be?
"Forget it, you will gradually understand. When your father comes back, he will definitely scold you. You should be smarter, and you should remember your mistakes and correct your mistakes. I will go to your home to study and see your second brother. ..."

After finishing speaking, he patted Zhang Tingyu's small shoulder and asked him to lie down.

Zhang Tingyu hurriedly climbed up and covered the brocade quilt again, but suddenly remembered, and hurriedly called Zhang Tingzan: "Brother——"

"what happened?"

Zhang Tingzan was a little puzzled, wondering if there was anything else going on with Ting Yu.

Zhang Tingyu just reminded him: "Mother said, the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law are both snakes and scorpions, so we should stay away. The second sister-in-law is so scary, so stop watching."

"..."

Zhang Tingzan's figure stopped for a moment, he only felt that his whole body was cold at that moment: "Who said that?"

Zhang Tingxuan only felt that his elder brother's expression was very strange, and he became vaguely afraid again: "Mother, mother, follow... and sister Huanhua from before, they all said the same...Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

He didn't even know what was wrong with him, so how could he answer Zhang Tingyu?

Thinking of his second brother's hesitant expression, Zhang Tingzan vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something.

He knew that since the incident of falling into the water, the Wu family never gave Heng Chen any good looks.

After all, he is the eldest son of Yifang, so nothing can go wrong.At that time, he was also amazingly talented, intelligent and capable.Wu Shi has always liked him, and he took his second brother to play together, and Wu Shi also smiled all over his face.

But after that, whenever he got close to Heng Chen, Mrs. Wu would scold him.

After so many years, if you can't come back with scolding, Mrs. Wu will stop taking care of her.

The son grew up and his wings became stiff, so she couldn't control it anymore.So the rest of her thoughts were devoted to Ting Lu and Ting Yu.

But Zhang Tingzan would never have imagined that today, he would hear such a cold word from his fourth brother, who is still ignorant of the world.

Mother said that the second brother and the second sister-in-law are both snakes and scorpions.

Femme fatale?

Zhang Tingzan didn't know what he should think, he turned around, walked to Zhang Tingzhen's couch step by step, tucked in the quilt for him: "Listen well, don't let me hear this a second time, your mother is talking nonsense, A woman's opinion is beyond stupid. Ting Yu, your second elder brother and second sister-in-law are both good people, not snakes and scorpions. You are not allowed to say another word to the outside world. If I want to hear it a second time, the family law will serve me."

Zhang Tingyu huddled under the blanket, and nodded with some fear.

Zhang Tingzan suddenly felt that his tone was too scary. He patted Zhang Tingzhen's head and said, "Your second elder brother and second sister-in-law may not like you very much, but they are indeed good people. They are all brothers of the same family, so from now on If you don’t, don’t say it.”

To put it another way, it still has the same meaning.

But Zhang Tingyu was confused again, what mother and elder brother said was completely different, who should he listen to?
Zhang Tingzan lifted the curtain again and went out, Chang An was making tea outside.

When she heard the voice, she shook her hands, pretended to be nonchalant, and poured [-]% full: "Master, it's cold outside, why don't you go with a cup of hot tea?"

Zhang Tingzan glanced at him, waved his hands, and went out with a depressed face in a bad mood.

Chang An stood where he was, holding a cup of tea in both hands, and slowly put it down.

She picked up one of her big black and shiny braids, straightened it out, and went into the house again, and saw Zhang Tingyu lying obediently on it with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, and then put down the curtain and went out.

I'm afraid Zhang Tingzan couldn't figure it out after all his calculations, but the fourth brother was actually provoked by Wu and the maids below.

It's not that Zhang Tingyu doesn't know everything, but he doesn't know everything either.

A child trusts everyone around him, especially those who are kind to him and have taken care of him for so long.

In comparison, Zhang Tingyu is very unfamiliar with his second brother.

These are the questions...

When something happens, he will subconsciously choose to trust someone closer to him.

A child who hasn't learned to doubt yet...

Soaking in the backyard for a long time is not an option.

Zhang Tingzan made up his mind, but instead of going to his family to study, he went straight out of the mansion and went to Zhan Shi's mansion in the palace.

Ade saw the back of the uncle going out from a distance, and was a little puzzled.

Uncle's expression is not right today, it's like it's going to rain.

He patted his head, and walked to the yard of the second room with a pot of orchids in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, a servant girl greeted him, and Ade was very polite, and after answering one by one, he entered the room, bowed and said, "Second young mistress, my master cut a new pot of orchids at home, and said that if you look It’s okay, let’s put it on.”

Gu Huaishu was arranging the chessboard and was having a headache. Seeing Ade came in, he asked him to bring the flowers in to have a look.

The weather is getting colder and colder. As soon as October is over, the orchids are starting to wither. This is probably the last pot I will see this winter.

When she turned around, she saw the bare orchids in the pot over there.

That pot was about to wither, I think Zhang Tingyu saw it when he went out this morning, so he took care of this pot and sent it back.

Gu Huaishu couldn't help laughing, and said, "You can just put it on the window sill."

"Hey." Ade responded happily, but his mouth didn't stop, "You didn't see that when the second master trimmed this pot of orchids, it was really like looking at a beautiful girl, who was serious and careful..."

This is saying good things to his master.

Qing Dai was doing needlework on the side, she had just inserted a needle, and she raised her head after hearing this: "As long as you can talk, the second master will be praised to the sky by you."

Gu Huaishu looked at the clump of verdant and tall trees, and at the ones that had been bald by his own scissors, and suddenly became speechless.

She glanced at Ade, then reached out to take the chess piece: "Ade is their master's good follower, he knows everything..."

Everything is clear.

Gu Huaishu thought about the things in this mansion, suddenly took a breath, and said with a smile: "Qing Dai, go and bring Ade a small stool."

Ade was startled, and quickly waved his hands: "Second young lady, what are you doing?"

"I have something to tell you. You're tired standing up, so I'll let you sit down and talk." Gu Huaishu gave a half-smile.

Ade trembled, seeing that Gu Huaishu's smile was directed at him, his heart immediately turned cold.

He thought about it, and felt that he hadn't offended the Second Young Mistress, this...

"Aren't you the little one? You just say what you want to ask, the little one must know everything, and dare not hide anything... The little one can answer it standing up, and it's enough to answer it standing up... ...Miss Qingdai, don't work hard, the little one can stand up, it's comfortable to stand up..."

He looked panic-stricken and made Gu Huaishu laugh.

She stopped joking with Ade, she acquiesced in his standing, and asked, "How many years have you been with Master?"

"My grandfather started school, and my little one followed."

A Dexin said that this is the right thing, he wanted to say it a long time ago, but the second master definitely refused.However, if these things are not told to the second young lady, what if the second young lady misunderstands the second master?
Gu Huaixiu frowned slightly: "At what age did the second master go to school?"

"Six years old." Ade remembered these things very clearly, "Our second master was a child prodigy at that time, and the uncle may not be as smart as him. The gentleman in the school was a Jinshi who was in the same subject as the master, and they all praised us. Second Master has a bright future."

The future is bright?
child prodigy?

He also said that "the uncle may not be as smart as him".

But now, how did it become such a situation?
Gu Huaishu is not that inattentive idiot, she looks at Ade as if showing off naturally, but in her heart she understands that the guy next to Zhang Tingyu is actually a smart person with ideas.

Following Ade's words, she asked: "How is your second master so powerful? If you are really so powerful, you don't even have a reputation now."

Ade lowered his head: "The younger one has been with the second master for the fifth year, something happened. The uncle went out to play with the second master..."

The room was quiet except for Adelaide's voice.

After he finished speaking for a while, Gu Huaishu didn't answer.

She took tea that was slightly cold, and sighed lightly: "Seeing that the uncle is well now, he must be all right?"

"Second Young Mistress is really a sensible person. How can there be anything wrong? Grandpa is lucky, and he will be fine after a fire. Our second master knew that he had made a mistake. At that time, so many people jumped down to save Grandpa. How can I catch up in time, it was the second master who dragged the uncle up together."

As he spoke, Ade finally revealed slight dissatisfaction in his expression.

But after all, he has been with Zhang Tingyu for several years, and his temper has gradually become calmer. This dissatisfaction was quickly covered up by Ade.

He didn't look at Gu Huaixiu, but stared at the ground three feet in front of his toes.

"But everyone in the house has forgotten about it. It is true that our second master was playful and harmed the uncle, but the uncle was also rescued by the second master. Our second master owes half of his life to the uncle. Where in the world does not love yourself The meat that fell from the body?"

"These words are so small that I only dare to say them in front of you. If it were someone else, I would never dare to utter a single word."

The servant arranged for the master, if it was stabbed out, Ade would be beaten to death.

But now he chooses to continue talking without even looking at Gu Huaixiu's expression.

"The second master knelt on the steps outside the uncle's house for three days, and no one responded. Not only did she ignore it, but also made the servants ignore it. Throwing the medicine bowl and hitting the second master, telling him not to kneel, the old lady was upset If you look carefully, there is still a shallow scar on the right brow bone of the second master."

Gu Huaishu understood the cause of the matter in his heart, and nodded slowly.

"You feel sorry for your father."

"Second Master treats the servants with generosity, and the younger ones only hope that Second Master is happy."

Ade didn't think what he said today meant anything, he knelt down and kowtowed Gu Huaishu three times.

"Second Young Mistress, you are the person that Second Master puts on the top of his heart. After all these years, I have never seen Second Master caring so much about anyone. Maybe only Grandpa can compare with you. Small eyes Although clumsy, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, I only hope that you and the second master can grow old together, and I will be happy."

"Bah! When will it be your turn to worry about the matter between the second young mistress and the second master? I haven't even worried about it yet."

After hearing what A De said, Qing Dai immediately spat at him.

The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Gu Huaishu also laughed lightly, and said: "Your second master is still waiting for you to serve, wipe your forehead, go quickly, I won't tell others about this."

She waved her hand and let Ade go.

Ade got up, smiled sincerely twice, and backed out.

Qing Dai stared at his back, but said to Gu Huaishu: "The people around Second Master are interesting."

Now that Gu Huaishu has finally figured out the root cause of the biggest incident with him in this mansion, he is in a much better mood.

Knowing the reason, even if she couldn't solve the problem, she felt at ease.

She turned sideways and continued to set the chessboard.

When it was getting dark in the afternoon, someone from the front said that the master had finally returned, and he had come back from the palace with him.

But as soon as he got home, the fourth son went to kneel in the ancestral hall. The master reprimanded him for a while in the ancestral hall, then asked the family law to take good care of his youngest son for a while, and then went to look for Mrs. Wu.

In less than half an hour, Duo Fu, who had gone to hear the news, came back and said that something serious happened in the mansion again.

Zhang Ying said that Mrs. Wu was getting old, seeing that her eldest son, Zhang Tingzan, had grown up, and her eldest daughter-in-law was sensible, so she asked her to transfer all the affairs in the house to Mrs. Chen.

But Mrs. Chen's health is not very good after all, Chang'an and Wang Fushun's family are clear about the affairs in the mansion, let these two servants help them first, and take it step by step.

But within an hour, these things were explained by Zhang Ying.

Mrs. Wu was arguing in the house, Zhang Ying was upset, and the palace was busy with other things, so she didn't stay in the house at all.Before he left, he asked the fourth young master to kneel on his knees overnight, then he got into the sedan chair and went back to continue his work.

This alternation in the mansion was only a short period of more than an hour, Zhang Ying came back like the wind, and left like the wind.

When Zhang Tingyu walked in, Gu Huaixiu's brows were locked.

"The second master is back."

It was only then that Gu Huaishu noticed, and walked over to him to brush the snow off his clothes, "I will ask Ade to bring an umbrella in the future, so that it can be covered in such a heavy snow day."

Zhang Tingyu nodded, but did not speak.

He saw the orchids placed by the window, and looked away again: "Stay indoors, if you feel bored, you can read the two books on the right side of my study if you can read them."

"...Huh? Oh."

She answered absently, handed his robe to Duofu, asked him to hang it up, and said: "Have you heard about the affairs in the mansion?"

"Left and right have nothing to do with our house, so what if we hear about it?"

He laughed, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of hot tea, but his posture was very detached.

Gu Huaixiu said you continue to pretend, but he didn't expose him.

This matter started from their second room, and in the end their place was the quietest, Gu Huaishu didn't know what to say.

She only said: "Master's method is really powerful."

Turning his gaze, Gu Huaishu suddenly thought of something, and glanced over a long eyebrow on his right.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Brother is the one who will be the head of the family in the future, of course he is powerful. Let's rest early today."

After a day of reading and thinking about things at home, he only felt a splitting headache.

However, Gu Huaixiu tugged on his sleeve, frowned at him, "The others go down, I'll take care of Second Master here."

Zhang Tingyu asked strangely, "When did you work so hard?"

"...Second Young Mistress, I have always been so diligent."

Gu Huaishu was choked by Zhang Tingyu first, but then choked back by Zhang Tingyu.

She dragged him, sat in front of the chessboard that was already set up, and put a black piece in front of him: "I'm halfway through this chess, and if you can't put it down, you can play it again for me to see."

Zhang Tingyu pinched a sunspot in front of him, but looked at her with those interested eyes.

Gu Huaishu knocked on the chessboard to get his attention back, and said calmly: "If you don't play today, we will just sit here overnight, and there is no need to go to bed to rest."

Zhang Tingyu: "...the master said: Food and sex are also sex."
