Chapter 45
I was in no mood to do anything all day, and Gu Huaishu couldn't sit still.
Time passed very slowly while she was nagging, she rubbed her forehead and almost turned over everything in Zhang Tingyu's study that she could turn over.
Handwriting, handwriting is exactly the same.
She even saw a large stack of poems in the corner, some of which were obviously the same set as the ones she used for the Xichun Banquet.
After all, it is the poem of the four seasons, it seems that according to it, there should not be a few poems chanting Haitang and Qingming.
Needless to say, Zhang Tingyu must have been the one who wrote those poems for himself.
Zhang Tingyu's handwriting had not changed at that time, and she even took out the note, which she had received when she was reading couplets at Li Guangdi's mansion.
The second line for Songjiang perch is Zhang Tingyu's crab.
At noon, this side of the room was going to deliver lunch to Zhang Tingyu, Gu Huaishu thought about it, and asked someone to bring the things in, then wrote the couplet crookedly on a piece of paper, pressed it directly under the pastry plate, and then called someone sent.
She thought that Zhang Tingyu would definitely come back after reading it, but she didn't expect that the "Cunmozhai" who studied at home, saw the note, but gently squeezed it tightly with her fingers, rolled it together, While eating pastries, I looked at a book spread out on the table.
Ade looked at his grandfather's squinting eyes, which was rare and comfortable, and asked tentatively: "Master, today's steamed candied date cake seems to be very suitable for your appetite?"
Zhang Tingyu raised his eyebrows, "It's unpalatable."
"..." Ade was speechless for a moment.
He packed up the food box, feeling strange in his heart, since it is so unpalatable, why do you have such an expression of enjoyment?Isn't this intentional to misunderstand the people below?
Zhang Tingyu waved his hand and drove him away: "If someone comes to ask you later, how is the second master, you can just say that the second master is studying at home, and you are very serious. Go, go..."
"……Yes."
After being depressed for a while, Ade still bowed and retreated.
Recently, this situation has become more and more incomprehensible. Seeing that the house has calmed down, nothing seems to be going on. The second master also reads every day as usual, but Ade always feels that something is different.
It's like today, it's not right at all.
Zhang Tingyu really didn't make a mistake. Not long after the food box was sent back to the kitchen, Duofu, a maid beside the Second Young Mistress, seemed to pass by inadvertently.
When Ade saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
Then Duofu also saw him, his eyes lit up, he walked over slowly, and bowed.
"Second Young Mistress sent her servants to ask, how is Second Master doing now?"
Second Master, it's okay. It's alright.
Ade thought for a while, but felt that Zhang Tingyu was really good at predicting things, didn't this person just come?
But even though he wanted to know what tricks were hidden here, he absolutely didn't dare to ask more.
My grandfather was quick to turn his back on him, and he followed Zhang Tingyu's confession and replied: "Second Master, isn't it all the same? He is studying every day, and he is very serious, and we dare not bother him."
"Ah? Oh..."
Duofu didn't seem to expect this result, she bowed again and went back.
Mother, what the hell is going on?
Ade was puzzled, so he simply reported the situation to Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu was still in a good mood, and looked at the table with a jade pendant lightly with his fingers, like some tune.
He said: "Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and watch outside, maybe the Second Young Mistress will send someone to ask after a while."
Speaking of this, Gu San is naturally smart, but at this time, he is a little bit impatient.
Sure enough, Gu Huaishu sent people to inquire three times, but there was no fourth time.
She seems to think that if she can't find the result after three times, she should not continue to search.
For the rest of the time, Zhang Tingyu was quite at ease.
If Zhang Tinglu hadn't come, this event would have been quite leisurely.
Zhang Tingyu slowly put down the book in his hand, pointed to the place in front of him, and said with a smile: "Why is the third brother here?"
Zhang Tinglu was just tired of reading next door, and she was a little curious when she saw Ade just running in and out.
He has also passed that period of time before, after all, it was still taught by his elder brother from time to time, brotherhood is more important.
Zhang Tinglu didn't get involved in some things that happened in the mansion recently, and he didn't know which side he should help.Now that he was sitting opposite Zhang Tingyu, he felt complicated again.
"Second brother is going to participate in Qiu Wei next year, right? I've read books very seriously..."
Originally speaking politely about this matter, Zhang Tingyu was a little bit worried.
In 29 years, when Zhang Ying was implicated in Tong Guogang's sacrificial ceremony, Zhang Tingyu was not able to participate in Qiuwei at all.He also knew that even if he went, there would be no results at all.
It is said that the imperial examination depends on talent, but it is actually talent, family status and luck. Among the three, talent is indispensable. If there is family status and luck, it is the icing on the cake.
Ability is the first, but the other two sometimes affect the results of the two tests.
Zhang Tingyu is tired of the latter two.
Just look at the emperor's golden pen point champion, second place and Tanhua in the palace examination, and you will know how important luck is.
Dai Youqi, who was not very top-notch at first, won the emperor's favor with his calligraphy, and Huang Shulin was directly promoted to Sanyuan because he was from the north.The ranking in the palace examination is related to a person's official career, and it is just a light word in the emperor's mouth.
After all, what the emperor likes is good, and what he doesn't like disappears in a blink of an eye.
Dai Youqi also attended the Xichun Banquet at Li Guangdi's mansion. When commenting on Gu San's poems, Dai Youqi denounced his poor calligraphy and had a slight disagreement with the emperor. Resigned and returned home.
It is rumored that after Dai Youqi resigned from office and left Beijing, he wrote three poems, denouncing the filth in the officialdom...
All this is enough to explain the problem.
Now that Zhang Tinglu is not too young, she might join Zhang Tingyu in the next year's provincial and general examinations.
Zhang Tingyu said: "It's like this every year, so why talk about being serious or not. It's you, it's rare to come and sit."
Both he and the third brother tacitly ignored the conversation between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu on the night they got married, and continued to act like brothers and sisters in front of everyone.
Zhang Tinglu lowered her head, and finally got to the point: "I'm here to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. The second brother should know me very well, so I won't explain much. These days, my mother told me about the marriage with the Chen family. It's been decided..."
It's another marriage with the Chen family.
Zhang Tingyu had no reason to intervene in his younger brother's marriage.
He was just silent, thinking that it would be better if he didn't speak, but there were only two brothers here, and there was no chance to stir up trouble.
Zhang Tingyu stretched out his hand, took a cup of tea slowly, lifted the lid of the tea, and put down the cup after a while: "Since you are going to marry a wife, you should start a family and start a business. You have always been a child at heart, and you are no better than four." How mature is my brother, I think, if there is one more person in the room, he will be much more mature."
He didn't mean to intervene at all, and no one asked him if he wanted to.
They all said that marrying a wife and having children is very good for him.
Zhang Tinglu really didn't understand, no matter what he told Wu Shi, Wu Shi just didn't agree.
In Wu's eyes, the savage and ignorant little girl of the Chen family is good at everything, and she also said that marrying a simple daughter-in-law has no intentions.She doesn't like scheming daughter-in-laws, such as the one married by the second child.
So she tried her best to resist, and only told Zhang Tinglu that the girl from the Chen family was good, and did not give him any chance to refute.
Amidst Zhang Tinglu's powerless rebuttals, the marriage was settled in such a muddle-headed manner.
He wanted to talk to Zhang Ying, but Zhang Ying didn't care too much, he just said that everything was up to his mother.
Originally, this time, the Wu family suddenly angered Zhang Ying. Although Zhang Ying was busy, she still transferred the power of the head of the family to the eldest daughter-in-law.
Zhang Tinglu originally thought that she could take the opportunity to have a good talk with Zhang Ying, but before she had a chance to talk, Zhang Ying left.
He still meant what he meant, marry a wife and make do with it.
Anyway, except for the eldest daughter-in-law who was chosen by Zhang Ying himself, the daughters-in-law of other sons do not need to be in charge of the family. After all, Zhang Tingzan is the eldest son, so he pays more attention to it.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter-in-law started to feel unwell within a few days of her marriage, and became weak day by day. She was supported by medication, and now she is barely recovering.But after so many years of repeated repetitions, it seems that this is not going to happen.
Now, except for Zhang Tingzan, no one knows about it.
It's hard to say whether Mrs. Wu is clear about it.
Thinking about these complicated things, Zhang Tinglu just felt bad.
"Second Brother's marriage was all chosen by himself, but it was changed to me, but he can only be at the mercy of Ren Niang."
He is like a puppet who has received too much attention. Wu Shi thinks that he will stuff anything good in his room, but many things are not to his liking.
It's just that Mrs. Wu is his mother after all, and she loves him so much, if he doesn't accept it, it will be unfilial.
Unfilial piety is a great sin.
He kept being filial like this year after year, but this time... he really couldn't bear it.
Zhang Tingyu only felt that there were gains and losses.
Normally, no one cares about him. Zhang Ying only knew about the partiality of his elder brother after he fell into the water, but he didn't know that Wu Shi had asked a Taoist priest to tell his fortune.Zhang Tingyu didn't have the face to expose his mother, that would be too obvious.
Therefore, in Zhang Ying's eyes, the second son is not liked, which cannot be changed by Zhang Ying.
After all, Zhang Ying can't force his wife to care about a certain son, even if he has it, it's just a superficial effort, and it makes no difference whether he has it or not.
However, Zhang Ying can compensate him within his ability.
For example, marriage.
But Zhang Tinglu, who has been cared by the Wu family since she was a child, has no such opportunity.
In this regard, Zhang Tingyu can do nothing.
He could only advise his younger brother: "Mother has always loved you, and she will never harm you."
"Ginseng is a good thing, but if you eat it every day, you won't feel better, and you will overdo it, it will kill you."
Zhang Tinglu seemed to feel that there was no need to continue, because the second brother's argument was so similar to that of the eldest brother?
He got up to leave, after sitting for not half a moment.
Sitting in his seat, Zhang Tingyu finally took a sip of the tea, and only slightly curled his lips: "If you can't taste the great tonic taste of ginseng, death from illness is better than tonic..."
He was shocked by his thoughts for a while, then slowly put down the teacup, but suddenly threw the book in his hand, got up and said: "Go back early today, Ade, pack up and go."
Hidden in the sleeve is Gu Huaishu's crooked note.
When he went back, he didn't take anyone with him, and his footsteps were very soft.
There are two pots of orchids by the window, one pot is about to wither, and no one dares to take it down, it is bare; the other pot is just pruned, and it is still very beautiful.
A pair of scissors tapped slowly on the window sill, and Zhang Tingyu didn't leave when he heard the sound.
Gu Huaishu's calm voice rang out in the room, and he gritted his teeth with a little hatred.
"Pretend! Let you pretend! I know how to pretend!"
"You are just like your master, you can pretend! Look at the little bald man next to you, there is no cover at all. Where is it like you, winding and winding, why do you grow so many leaves? Living to occupy the soil?, respiration Waste of oxygen, photosynthesis you waste carbon dioxide... What's the use of keeping you?"
"The world is as black as crows, and the world's prime ministers are all thieves, thieves at heart!"
"Your master has a dark heart. He won't come until it's dark. See if I don't cut you bald!"
With a "click", Gu Huaixiu cut it down, but it still didn't land on the orchid leaf, but cut it in mid-air, and then threw it down angrily.
Although he couldn't quite understand Gu Huaixiu's muttering, Zhang Tingyu understood the meaning of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
He backed away from the window without making a sound, and led Ade all the way back. After about half a quarter of an hour, the master and servant came back again.
Before passing the garden outside the window, Ade coughed twice: "Second Master, please slow down."
Duo Huan, who had been dozing off while waiting in Gu Huaixiu's room, immediately became excited: "Second master is back!"
Gu Huaishu looked back, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Tingyu passing by the window, and then went back to the front door.
She thought to herself, "It's finally back, good time", but folded the note in her hand, "Qing Dai, pour tea for the second master."
Standing with his back to the door, Gu Huaishu was right next to the round table, and he didn't turn around to look.
Zhang Tingyu came in with a suppressed laugh, pretending that he didn't break through what she said before.
"Today Huaixiu sent people to ask three times, I don't know if there is something important?"
When Gu Huaishu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched, she turned to look at Zhang Tingyu, Ade was still standing outside, and Huamei went up to tidy up his robe.She sneered, but ordered: "Second master doesn't have long hands and doesn't know how to clean up? Huamei puts down her clothes and goes out, and Ade also goes out, all go out for me!"
This is anger?
Zhang Tingyu rubbed his wrists, he was only wearing a white dress embroidered with silver and gray patterns and a belt, and he felt very tall and straight.
Sitting at the kang table in leisure time, Zhang Tingyu straightened his cuffs and said casually: "It really is something serious."
The more he pretended not to know, the more calm he was, the more Gu Huaishu wanted to beat him.
She came over with the teacup in both hands, put it on the table again, and stood in front of Zhang Tingyu dignifiedly: "Second Master, don't pretend to be confused, I dare you, Gu San is playing big swords in front of Guan Gong. I don't know it yet. Fortunately, the second master didn't suspect, didn't dislike it, and even cooperated with the little girl in acting. Who in the world can compare with your second son Zhang? Today, the little girl has the right to reward the second master with this cup of tea. Talk to each other."
These words, every sentence has meaning.
Zhang Tingyu was always pretending to be crazy, but at this moment he was very obedient, and said, "I didn't know that I, Zhang Er, had such abilities? But it's rare for young mistress to make tea, so I...reluctantly took a sip."
"Second Master is really self-indulgent, this tea is brewed by Qing Dai, and the concubine just brought it for Second Master."
Gu Huaishu choked on Zhang Tingyu, he was really sharp-tongued, his tongue was like a sword, and every word he uttered was piercing.
Zhang Tingyu was choked for a long time without saying a word, but now it's his self-indulgence?
Thinking back, wasn't he the one who posted it?What is not self-indulgence?
Thinking about it this way is actually interesting.
He slowly picked up the tea, the temperature of the tea was just right, "It's rare for young mistress to serve it herself."
Then lift the tea lid and flick the tea froth, showing the elegance of a scholar.
Gu Huaishu just put his hands in his loose sleeves, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he looked at him.
Zhang Tingyu felt that something was wrong when the tea was just in his mouth. He took a sip, but immediately sprayed it aside, his face was red from choking, and he was almost coughed to death.
"Cough cough, cough... spicy... cough..."
The tea didn't look strange, but when it entered the mouth, it was as if a fire was lit in the mouth, and Zhang Tingyu's whole body was burned and choked.
He frowned, in a state of embarrassment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his wife lying on the side with a smile, and suddenly felt wronged.
It's been a long time since I've dealt with someone like this, Gu Huaishu almost laughed so hard.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Zhang Tingyu with difficulty: "Today, when Duofu went to the kitchen, Xiao Shifang came out and was still sitting outside washing vegetables. It was the pointed pepper. Today My son made spicy chicken, so I asked him to bring the water washed with chili powder and make tea... Ha ha... Second, second master, is it okay to drink?"
I really cried with laughter.
Zhang Tingyu got up and went to the table, picked up the teapot, just wanted to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Huaixiu was still laughing so hard that he reminded him kindly: "Second Master, that pot is full of spicy tea, be careful..."
With a sound of "dang", the teapot was put down again, and blue smoke was coming out of Zhang Tingyu's head.
He couldn't find a second teapot in the room, and he suddenly understood: Gu Huaishou sent someone to ask him three times today, but he didn't respond when he was holding it, and this unruly woman actually prepared such a pot..." Good tea" come and wait for him!He also deliberately cleaned up all the other tea sets in the house, this is to clean up him!
Thinking back and forth, and seeing the orchid on the windowsill threatened by Gu Huaishu, Zhang Tingyu understood.
A woman's heart, a sea needle, can't be guessed, can't be counted.
Especially this Gu Huaixiu, but drinking this pot of tea is too aggrieved!
Zhang Tingyu really held his breath in his heart immediately, he thought about it, and seeing her smug and baring her teeth and claws, he raised his legs and walked towards her.
Gu Huaishu smiled and felt a shadow fall in front of him.
She laughed: "What are you doing—"
The soaring jerky spicy taste entered Gu Huaishu's mouth through this kiss in an instant.
She pushed Zhang Tingyu hard, struggled, even scratched him, but how could Zhang Tingyu let go?
He only pinched her delicate jaw with one hand, held her lips in his mouth, traced the shape, and licked those two beautiful petals.Then, according to his previous thoughts, he used his tongue to separate her two vermilion lips, knocked open the white teeth, and fought with her lips and tongue.
Gu Huaishu immediately knew what it means to be cocooned.
She kicked Zhang Tingyu, but only got him a more domineering and violent attack.
The mouth was full of that smell, kissing and kissing, Gu Huaishu's tears flowed from the kiss.
When Zhang Tingyu let go of her, her face was already flushed like drunkenness, and her eyes were misty.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
She covered her mouth, half unable to breathe, usually stimulated by the pungent taste in Zhang Tingyu's mouth.
Gu Lu turned over and ran out of the kang, Gu Huaixiu hurriedly called: "Come here, pour tea! Cough, cough... pour tea..."
Duoxi, who was standing closest to the curtain, came in immediately, "Second Young Madam, what's wrong with you? This servant will pour water for you immediately..."
Gu Huaishu was still coughing, and without thinking too much, he poured water into his mouth as soon as he took the teacup, and almost cried after pouring it.
I used to laugh and cry, but now I really cry.
Spitting out the tea in his mouth in one gulp, Gu Huaixiu coughed worse: "Who told you to pour the tea in the house..."
At any rate, Qingdai finally came in, and quickly poured the tea prepared outside the house for Gu Huaishu, she gulped down three cups as if there was something wrong in her stomach, and almost hiccupped.
But Zhang Tingyu had already sat back on the kang slowly, lifted the hem of his clothes and put them on his crossed legs, his wrists were resting on his knees, and his palms were hanging down.
He is like an old man from a rich family, or more like an old monk who has settled down, and he immediately shows that profound calmness.
"Duofu, pour me a glass of water."
When Duofu heard the words, he naturally went to serve him.
Zhang Tingyu served tea, and asked someone to bring a bowl, took a sip of tea, paused for a while, and then spit it out again, several sips in a row, before a glass of water was used to rinse his mouth.
In the end, he slowly asked someone to bring a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands; he changed another handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers clean before looking at Gu San.
Gu Huaixiu was picking at the teacup, feeling that he might not be able to eat anything tonight.
She hated it so much, she just felt that the master in front of her was so cheap!
The two of them can be regarded as standing up to each other.
"Snapped."
As soon as the teacup was pressed on the table, Gu Huaishu waved his hands in anger: "Everyone go out, go out..."
He did not rectify people, but he cheated himself.Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?
Gu Huaixiu really almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Tingyu's eyebrows stretched, and he was a bit leisurely, he still sat there cross-legged, and said: "After venting your anger, are you happy this time?"
Happy?
Ha ha.
I am not happy.
Are you brainless?
Gu Huai thought of such a sentence nonsensically.
She was a little frustrated, she sat back like a wilted eggplant, her head was about to fall to the ground, and said half-deadly: "Happy...can't get up."
Zhang Tingyu shook his head and laughed: "If you harm others, you will end up harming yourself."
"Bah!" Gu Huaixiu spat at him, "A good person doesn't live long, but a disaster lasts for a thousand years—well, like you."
"..."
Well, Zhang Tingyu has become a disaster again, and I don't know who has no good intentions to harm whom.
Zhang Tingyu is just using reasonable means to "treat him in his own way", although he is quite clever.
He was a little proud, and said: "I am a disaster, and you are not much better. A couple of disasters, who grow old together, are scary."
"You can talk nonsense."
Gu Huaishu gave him a sideways look.
After a while, she said again: "You are the one who caught the knife for me?"
"half."
Zhang Tingyu tapped his kneecap lightly with his fingers, but he didn't know what tune it was.
Gu Huaixiu said, "Why?"
"The fourth elder brother asked the elder brother to catch the knife for you. My elder brother was lazy and asked me." Zhang Tingyu confessed that he stopped pretending for a while.
Gu Huaixiu was speechless for a moment.
She pinched her fingers, lowered her head, with a gloomy expression on her face.
What a fourth elder brother, he really digs holes for himself everywhere, saying that he wants to loosen his fingers and let her go, is this the way to let go?
It's like keeping a rabbit in a cage for two or three years, and the rabbit begged to be released.Heh, the person who locked it let go, said "Okay", and then let her out, but the outside was full of holes he dug.
One pit, one accurate!
Isn't this about Gu Huaixiu jumping off and being played to death? !
She gritted her teeth negatively, very upset.
I found a knife catcher for those who would become future husbands. At that time, Gu Huaishu was not married yet.
If it's not a scam, let alone Gu Huaishu, pigs won't believe it!
Brother Si's heart is so dark!
Although he knew that it was impossible for this future Yongzheng Lord to not have any thought, but such a pitfall was beyond Gu Huaixiu's imagination.
How did you get married now?
"I'm already involved with the fourth elder brother, why didn't you withdraw from the marriage?" She suddenly wondered.
Then the next question came out, Gu Huaishu had something to do with the fourth elder brother, so why did Zhang Tingzan have something to do with the fourth elder brother?
Fourth elder brother finds someone to catch a knife, which involves the serious crime of deceiving the emperor, there is no reason to find someone he is not familiar with, even if he is familiar with someone, if it is not his own confidant, it is terrible.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaixiu shivered violently.
She raised her eyes, and Zhang Tingyu looked at her calmly.
He said: "Brother told me everything, why should I be suspicious? It's not easy to get tempted once, who knows if there will be another time if you don't catch it? But you, what are you thinking?"
In other words, Zhang Tingyu knew that their Gu family had messed up.
The family ugliness is not publicized, but unexpectedly, it was shaken out by the spirit of the fourth elder brother.
She muffled: "Your elder brother...why isn't he just like your father?"
Zhang Ying is a member of the emperor's party, why is Zhang Tingzan involved with the fourth elder brother?
Also, Zhang Tingzan is currently working in the Zhan Shifu, which is involved with the prince. The situation here is a bit more complicated for Zhang Tingzan.
These things, Zhang Tingyu is actually not clear.
He slightly curled his lips: "Brother is the eldest son of the family, so he and his father naturally have some considerations. Let's not speculate about what is going on."
"I just thought of one thing." Gu Huaishu raised his eyes and met his gaze, "Your uncle Mingzhu."
Uncle Mingzhu, Nalan Mingzhu.
Zhang Tingyu really wanted to call Mingzhu an uncle, after all Zhang Ying had a good relationship with Nalan Mingzhu.
But that's just the friendship between the parents, and everyone is happy to see "Uncle Mingzhu" on some occasions on weekdays, and they will definitely turn their faces and deny people when they come back to do things.
Gu Huaixiu just said it so casually, Zhang Tingyu naturally knew it, and he continued to tap his knee lightly with his fingers.
"You mean, my father is the same as Mingzhu?"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head.
Nalan Mingzhu is a veteran.
On the one hand, he helped the eldest elder brother Yinyi, and followed the crowd to call the elder brother "Da Qiansui"; on the other hand, he called the prince's teacher Zhang Ying a brother and brother, and win him over, which is regarded as win over the prince and keep himself; , his son Nalan Kuixu is now in contact with the princes who are still young.
What a veteran who has experienced ups and downs in officialdom.
How could Zhang Tingyu not know the meaning of Gu Huaishu's words?
"The Zhuge family of the Three Kingdoms is a family of counselors. Zhuge Kongming came out of the crouching dragon, but his elder brother Zhuge Jin was in Jiangdong to advise Soochow. But any family of counselors with brains likes business that can make money without losing money."
Gu Huaishu touched his smooth fingernails, thinking about when to apply the juice of impatiens.
She spoke slowly, then turned her eyes to look at Zhang Tingyu, "Nalan Mingzhu knows this truth, your father may not know it."
But Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "If you want to press, you shouldn't press on the fourth elder brother. Who is behind this?"
Isn't the fourth elder brother the prince's man?
Can……
If so, why bother?
With Zhang Tingzan's current ability, it is more than enough to vote under the prince's command, so there is no reason to be with an unknown fourth elder brother.
When he said this, Gu Huaishu woke up a little bit.
She has been thinking about things from her own side, so she pays special attention to the fourth elder brother who is destined to succeed, but forgets that the current fourth elder brother is not showing his edge at all, and is still keeping a low profile. It will take years to marry Fujin .
Therefore, if calculated according to this situation, it is impossible for Zhang Tingzan to seek refuge with the fourth elder brother in order to seek refuge with the prince.
...So, the final question became: what exactly is Zhang Ying thinking, and does he know what Zhang Tingzan is thinking?
Zhang Tingyu thought of the moderate words Zhang Ying had said to him, and felt his brain ache.
He didn't want to think about it any more, the matter had already been settled in his mind.
"Don't think about it any more. I just got up and told you once. It's better than you will find out that I was the one who caught the knife for you in the future. It was embarrassing at that time, and I don't know what the situation is."
In fact, it is not a big deal.
Originally, Gu Huaixiu thought he didn't know, but he didn't expect that the two brothers were both good friends, but it seemed that she had become a villain.
She nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Tingyu said again: "Yesterday you told me about Miss Chen and my third brother, and today my third brother also came to see me. It seems that he really doesn't want to marry Miss Chen."
Do not want to marry?
Gu Huaixiu frowned, quite interested.
Looking at his slender and white fingers, Gu Huaishu's bad thoughts started to come out again.
It has nothing to do with her to decide whether other people's lives are good or not.
Zhang Tingyu even used words like "I really don't want to", which proves that Zhang Tinglu actually hates that little girl Chen extremely.
When others are unhappy, Gu Huaishu is happy.
She smiled brightly: "Third Uncle and Miss Chen will definitely grow old together."
Look at this smile, water can be squeezed out of a face.
How could Zhang Tingyu not know her bad intentions?
It's just that this kind of thing can't be changed at all. A little bit of malice is harmless?
He is not an upright and honest gentleman, his wife is so small-bellied and insidious, Zhang Tingyu simply married whoever he looked like.
The two of them chatted for a few words, and then they had dinner.
Gu Huaixiu thought about it, and felt that it would be hard for Miss Chen to marry.Anyway, they can't talk about it.I'm afraid that if you marry in, you will also be divorced.The life of husband and wife is not that simple.
For example, the night between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu...
The maids outside didn't fall asleep until midnight.
"Go away! Don't kiss me..."
"Ah, go away..."
"So annoying...you have a taste in your mouth..."
"It's as if you have no taste in your mouth..."
"...Why do I still feel spicy..."
"Hey, get out of the way..."
"Say goodbye! Go down!"
There was a sound of "gudong", and the world finally became quiet.
A beautiful tomorrow has arrived in Gu Huaishu's dark circles.
(End of this chapter)
I was in no mood to do anything all day, and Gu Huaishu couldn't sit still.
Time passed very slowly while she was nagging, she rubbed her forehead and almost turned over everything in Zhang Tingyu's study that she could turn over.
Handwriting, handwriting is exactly the same.
She even saw a large stack of poems in the corner, some of which were obviously the same set as the ones she used for the Xichun Banquet.
After all, it is the poem of the four seasons, it seems that according to it, there should not be a few poems chanting Haitang and Qingming.
Needless to say, Zhang Tingyu must have been the one who wrote those poems for himself.
Zhang Tingyu's handwriting had not changed at that time, and she even took out the note, which she had received when she was reading couplets at Li Guangdi's mansion.
The second line for Songjiang perch is Zhang Tingyu's crab.
At noon, this side of the room was going to deliver lunch to Zhang Tingyu, Gu Huaishu thought about it, and asked someone to bring the things in, then wrote the couplet crookedly on a piece of paper, pressed it directly under the pastry plate, and then called someone sent.
She thought that Zhang Tingyu would definitely come back after reading it, but she didn't expect that the "Cunmozhai" who studied at home, saw the note, but gently squeezed it tightly with her fingers, rolled it together, While eating pastries, I looked at a book spread out on the table.
Ade looked at his grandfather's squinting eyes, which was rare and comfortable, and asked tentatively: "Master, today's steamed candied date cake seems to be very suitable for your appetite?"
Zhang Tingyu raised his eyebrows, "It's unpalatable."
"..." Ade was speechless for a moment.
He packed up the food box, feeling strange in his heart, since it is so unpalatable, why do you have such an expression of enjoyment?Isn't this intentional to misunderstand the people below?
Zhang Tingyu waved his hand and drove him away: "If someone comes to ask you later, how is the second master, you can just say that the second master is studying at home, and you are very serious. Go, go..."
"……Yes."
After being depressed for a while, Ade still bowed and retreated.
Recently, this situation has become more and more incomprehensible. Seeing that the house has calmed down, nothing seems to be going on. The second master also reads every day as usual, but Ade always feels that something is different.
It's like today, it's not right at all.
Zhang Tingyu really didn't make a mistake. Not long after the food box was sent back to the kitchen, Duofu, a maid beside the Second Young Mistress, seemed to pass by inadvertently.
When Ade saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
Then Duofu also saw him, his eyes lit up, he walked over slowly, and bowed.
"Second Young Mistress sent her servants to ask, how is Second Master doing now?"
Second Master, it's okay. It's alright.
Ade thought for a while, but felt that Zhang Tingyu was really good at predicting things, didn't this person just come?
But even though he wanted to know what tricks were hidden here, he absolutely didn't dare to ask more.
My grandfather was quick to turn his back on him, and he followed Zhang Tingyu's confession and replied: "Second Master, isn't it all the same? He is studying every day, and he is very serious, and we dare not bother him."
"Ah? Oh..."
Duofu didn't seem to expect this result, she bowed again and went back.
Mother, what the hell is going on?
Ade was puzzled, so he simply reported the situation to Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu was still in a good mood, and looked at the table with a jade pendant lightly with his fingers, like some tune.
He said: "Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and watch outside, maybe the Second Young Mistress will send someone to ask after a while."
Speaking of this, Gu San is naturally smart, but at this time, he is a little bit impatient.
Sure enough, Gu Huaishu sent people to inquire three times, but there was no fourth time.
She seems to think that if she can't find the result after three times, she should not continue to search.
For the rest of the time, Zhang Tingyu was quite at ease.
If Zhang Tinglu hadn't come, this event would have been quite leisurely.
Zhang Tingyu slowly put down the book in his hand, pointed to the place in front of him, and said with a smile: "Why is the third brother here?"
Zhang Tinglu was just tired of reading next door, and she was a little curious when she saw Ade just running in and out.
He has also passed that period of time before, after all, it was still taught by his elder brother from time to time, brotherhood is more important.
Zhang Tinglu didn't get involved in some things that happened in the mansion recently, and he didn't know which side he should help.Now that he was sitting opposite Zhang Tingyu, he felt complicated again.
"Second brother is going to participate in Qiu Wei next year, right? I've read books very seriously..."
Originally speaking politely about this matter, Zhang Tingyu was a little bit worried.
In 29 years, when Zhang Ying was implicated in Tong Guogang's sacrificial ceremony, Zhang Tingyu was not able to participate in Qiuwei at all.He also knew that even if he went, there would be no results at all.
It is said that the imperial examination depends on talent, but it is actually talent, family status and luck. Among the three, talent is indispensable. If there is family status and luck, it is the icing on the cake.
Ability is the first, but the other two sometimes affect the results of the two tests.
Zhang Tingyu is tired of the latter two.
Just look at the emperor's golden pen point champion, second place and Tanhua in the palace examination, and you will know how important luck is.
Dai Youqi, who was not very top-notch at first, won the emperor's favor with his calligraphy, and Huang Shulin was directly promoted to Sanyuan because he was from the north.The ranking in the palace examination is related to a person's official career, and it is just a light word in the emperor's mouth.
After all, what the emperor likes is good, and what he doesn't like disappears in a blink of an eye.
Dai Youqi also attended the Xichun Banquet at Li Guangdi's mansion. When commenting on Gu San's poems, Dai Youqi denounced his poor calligraphy and had a slight disagreement with the emperor. Resigned and returned home.
It is rumored that after Dai Youqi resigned from office and left Beijing, he wrote three poems, denouncing the filth in the officialdom...
All this is enough to explain the problem.
Now that Zhang Tinglu is not too young, she might join Zhang Tingyu in the next year's provincial and general examinations.
Zhang Tingyu said: "It's like this every year, so why talk about being serious or not. It's you, it's rare to come and sit."
Both he and the third brother tacitly ignored the conversation between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu on the night they got married, and continued to act like brothers and sisters in front of everyone.
Zhang Tinglu lowered her head, and finally got to the point: "I'm here to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. The second brother should know me very well, so I won't explain much. These days, my mother told me about the marriage with the Chen family. It's been decided..."
It's another marriage with the Chen family.
Zhang Tingyu had no reason to intervene in his younger brother's marriage.
He was just silent, thinking that it would be better if he didn't speak, but there were only two brothers here, and there was no chance to stir up trouble.
Zhang Tingyu stretched out his hand, took a cup of tea slowly, lifted the lid of the tea, and put down the cup after a while: "Since you are going to marry a wife, you should start a family and start a business. You have always been a child at heart, and you are no better than four." How mature is my brother, I think, if there is one more person in the room, he will be much more mature."
He didn't mean to intervene at all, and no one asked him if he wanted to.
They all said that marrying a wife and having children is very good for him.
Zhang Tinglu really didn't understand, no matter what he told Wu Shi, Wu Shi just didn't agree.
In Wu's eyes, the savage and ignorant little girl of the Chen family is good at everything, and she also said that marrying a simple daughter-in-law has no intentions.She doesn't like scheming daughter-in-laws, such as the one married by the second child.
So she tried her best to resist, and only told Zhang Tinglu that the girl from the Chen family was good, and did not give him any chance to refute.
Amidst Zhang Tinglu's powerless rebuttals, the marriage was settled in such a muddle-headed manner.
He wanted to talk to Zhang Ying, but Zhang Ying didn't care too much, he just said that everything was up to his mother.
Originally, this time, the Wu family suddenly angered Zhang Ying. Although Zhang Ying was busy, she still transferred the power of the head of the family to the eldest daughter-in-law.
Zhang Tinglu originally thought that she could take the opportunity to have a good talk with Zhang Ying, but before she had a chance to talk, Zhang Ying left.
He still meant what he meant, marry a wife and make do with it.
Anyway, except for the eldest daughter-in-law who was chosen by Zhang Ying himself, the daughters-in-law of other sons do not need to be in charge of the family. After all, Zhang Tingzan is the eldest son, so he pays more attention to it.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter-in-law started to feel unwell within a few days of her marriage, and became weak day by day. She was supported by medication, and now she is barely recovering.But after so many years of repeated repetitions, it seems that this is not going to happen.
Now, except for Zhang Tingzan, no one knows about it.
It's hard to say whether Mrs. Wu is clear about it.
Thinking about these complicated things, Zhang Tinglu just felt bad.
"Second Brother's marriage was all chosen by himself, but it was changed to me, but he can only be at the mercy of Ren Niang."
He is like a puppet who has received too much attention. Wu Shi thinks that he will stuff anything good in his room, but many things are not to his liking.
It's just that Mrs. Wu is his mother after all, and she loves him so much, if he doesn't accept it, it will be unfilial.
Unfilial piety is a great sin.
He kept being filial like this year after year, but this time... he really couldn't bear it.
Zhang Tingyu only felt that there were gains and losses.
Normally, no one cares about him. Zhang Ying only knew about the partiality of his elder brother after he fell into the water, but he didn't know that Wu Shi had asked a Taoist priest to tell his fortune.Zhang Tingyu didn't have the face to expose his mother, that would be too obvious.
Therefore, in Zhang Ying's eyes, the second son is not liked, which cannot be changed by Zhang Ying.
After all, Zhang Ying can't force his wife to care about a certain son, even if he has it, it's just a superficial effort, and it makes no difference whether he has it or not.
However, Zhang Ying can compensate him within his ability.
For example, marriage.
But Zhang Tinglu, who has been cared by the Wu family since she was a child, has no such opportunity.
In this regard, Zhang Tingyu can do nothing.
He could only advise his younger brother: "Mother has always loved you, and she will never harm you."
"Ginseng is a good thing, but if you eat it every day, you won't feel better, and you will overdo it, it will kill you."
Zhang Tinglu seemed to feel that there was no need to continue, because the second brother's argument was so similar to that of the eldest brother?
He got up to leave, after sitting for not half a moment.
Sitting in his seat, Zhang Tingyu finally took a sip of the tea, and only slightly curled his lips: "If you can't taste the great tonic taste of ginseng, death from illness is better than tonic..."
He was shocked by his thoughts for a while, then slowly put down the teacup, but suddenly threw the book in his hand, got up and said: "Go back early today, Ade, pack up and go."
Hidden in the sleeve is Gu Huaishu's crooked note.
When he went back, he didn't take anyone with him, and his footsteps were very soft.
There are two pots of orchids by the window, one pot is about to wither, and no one dares to take it down, it is bare; the other pot is just pruned, and it is still very beautiful.
A pair of scissors tapped slowly on the window sill, and Zhang Tingyu didn't leave when he heard the sound.
Gu Huaishu's calm voice rang out in the room, and he gritted his teeth with a little hatred.
"Pretend! Let you pretend! I know how to pretend!"
"You are just like your master, you can pretend! Look at the little bald man next to you, there is no cover at all. Where is it like you, winding and winding, why do you grow so many leaves? Living to occupy the soil?, respiration Waste of oxygen, photosynthesis you waste carbon dioxide... What's the use of keeping you?"
"The world is as black as crows, and the world's prime ministers are all thieves, thieves at heart!"
"Your master has a dark heart. He won't come until it's dark. See if I don't cut you bald!"
With a "click", Gu Huaixiu cut it down, but it still didn't land on the orchid leaf, but cut it in mid-air, and then threw it down angrily.
Although he couldn't quite understand Gu Huaixiu's muttering, Zhang Tingyu understood the meaning of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
He backed away from the window without making a sound, and led Ade all the way back. After about half a quarter of an hour, the master and servant came back again.
Before passing the garden outside the window, Ade coughed twice: "Second Master, please slow down."
Duo Huan, who had been dozing off while waiting in Gu Huaixiu's room, immediately became excited: "Second master is back!"
Gu Huaishu looked back, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Tingyu passing by the window, and then went back to the front door.
She thought to herself, "It's finally back, good time", but folded the note in her hand, "Qing Dai, pour tea for the second master."
Standing with his back to the door, Gu Huaishu was right next to the round table, and he didn't turn around to look.
Zhang Tingyu came in with a suppressed laugh, pretending that he didn't break through what she said before.
"Today Huaixiu sent people to ask three times, I don't know if there is something important?"
When Gu Huaishu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched, she turned to look at Zhang Tingyu, Ade was still standing outside, and Huamei went up to tidy up his robe.She sneered, but ordered: "Second master doesn't have long hands and doesn't know how to clean up? Huamei puts down her clothes and goes out, and Ade also goes out, all go out for me!"
This is anger?
Zhang Tingyu rubbed his wrists, he was only wearing a white dress embroidered with silver and gray patterns and a belt, and he felt very tall and straight.
Sitting at the kang table in leisure time, Zhang Tingyu straightened his cuffs and said casually: "It really is something serious."
The more he pretended not to know, the more calm he was, the more Gu Huaishu wanted to beat him.
She came over with the teacup in both hands, put it on the table again, and stood in front of Zhang Tingyu dignifiedly: "Second Master, don't pretend to be confused, I dare you, Gu San is playing big swords in front of Guan Gong. I don't know it yet. Fortunately, the second master didn't suspect, didn't dislike it, and even cooperated with the little girl in acting. Who in the world can compare with your second son Zhang? Today, the little girl has the right to reward the second master with this cup of tea. Talk to each other."
These words, every sentence has meaning.
Zhang Tingyu was always pretending to be crazy, but at this moment he was very obedient, and said, "I didn't know that I, Zhang Er, had such abilities? But it's rare for young mistress to make tea, so I...reluctantly took a sip."
"Second Master is really self-indulgent, this tea is brewed by Qing Dai, and the concubine just brought it for Second Master."
Gu Huaishu choked on Zhang Tingyu, he was really sharp-tongued, his tongue was like a sword, and every word he uttered was piercing.
Zhang Tingyu was choked for a long time without saying a word, but now it's his self-indulgence?
Thinking back, wasn't he the one who posted it?What is not self-indulgence?
Thinking about it this way is actually interesting.
He slowly picked up the tea, the temperature of the tea was just right, "It's rare for young mistress to serve it herself."
Then lift the tea lid and flick the tea froth, showing the elegance of a scholar.
Gu Huaishu just put his hands in his loose sleeves, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he looked at him.
Zhang Tingyu felt that something was wrong when the tea was just in his mouth. He took a sip, but immediately sprayed it aside, his face was red from choking, and he was almost coughed to death.
"Cough cough, cough... spicy... cough..."
The tea didn't look strange, but when it entered the mouth, it was as if a fire was lit in the mouth, and Zhang Tingyu's whole body was burned and choked.
He frowned, in a state of embarrassment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his wife lying on the side with a smile, and suddenly felt wronged.
It's been a long time since I've dealt with someone like this, Gu Huaishu almost laughed so hard.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Zhang Tingyu with difficulty: "Today, when Duofu went to the kitchen, Xiao Shifang came out and was still sitting outside washing vegetables. It was the pointed pepper. Today My son made spicy chicken, so I asked him to bring the water washed with chili powder and make tea... Ha ha... Second, second master, is it okay to drink?"
I really cried with laughter.
Zhang Tingyu got up and went to the table, picked up the teapot, just wanted to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Huaixiu was still laughing so hard that he reminded him kindly: "Second Master, that pot is full of spicy tea, be careful..."
With a sound of "dang", the teapot was put down again, and blue smoke was coming out of Zhang Tingyu's head.
He couldn't find a second teapot in the room, and he suddenly understood: Gu Huaishou sent someone to ask him three times today, but he didn't respond when he was holding it, and this unruly woman actually prepared such a pot..." Good tea" come and wait for him!He also deliberately cleaned up all the other tea sets in the house, this is to clean up him!
Thinking back and forth, and seeing the orchid on the windowsill threatened by Gu Huaishu, Zhang Tingyu understood.
A woman's heart, a sea needle, can't be guessed, can't be counted.
Especially this Gu Huaixiu, but drinking this pot of tea is too aggrieved!
Zhang Tingyu really held his breath in his heart immediately, he thought about it, and seeing her smug and baring her teeth and claws, he raised his legs and walked towards her.
Gu Huaishu smiled and felt a shadow fall in front of him.
She laughed: "What are you doing—"
The soaring jerky spicy taste entered Gu Huaishu's mouth through this kiss in an instant.
She pushed Zhang Tingyu hard, struggled, even scratched him, but how could Zhang Tingyu let go?
He only pinched her delicate jaw with one hand, held her lips in his mouth, traced the shape, and licked those two beautiful petals.Then, according to his previous thoughts, he used his tongue to separate her two vermilion lips, knocked open the white teeth, and fought with her lips and tongue.
Gu Huaishu immediately knew what it means to be cocooned.
She kicked Zhang Tingyu, but only got him a more domineering and violent attack.
The mouth was full of that smell, kissing and kissing, Gu Huaishu's tears flowed from the kiss.
When Zhang Tingyu let go of her, her face was already flushed like drunkenness, and her eyes were misty.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
She covered her mouth, half unable to breathe, usually stimulated by the pungent taste in Zhang Tingyu's mouth.
Gu Lu turned over and ran out of the kang, Gu Huaixiu hurriedly called: "Come here, pour tea! Cough, cough... pour tea..."
Duoxi, who was standing closest to the curtain, came in immediately, "Second Young Madam, what's wrong with you? This servant will pour water for you immediately..."
Gu Huaishu was still coughing, and without thinking too much, he poured water into his mouth as soon as he took the teacup, and almost cried after pouring it.
I used to laugh and cry, but now I really cry.
Spitting out the tea in his mouth in one gulp, Gu Huaixiu coughed worse: "Who told you to pour the tea in the house..."
At any rate, Qingdai finally came in, and quickly poured the tea prepared outside the house for Gu Huaishu, she gulped down three cups as if there was something wrong in her stomach, and almost hiccupped.
But Zhang Tingyu had already sat back on the kang slowly, lifted the hem of his clothes and put them on his crossed legs, his wrists were resting on his knees, and his palms were hanging down.
He is like an old man from a rich family, or more like an old monk who has settled down, and he immediately shows that profound calmness.
"Duofu, pour me a glass of water."
When Duofu heard the words, he naturally went to serve him.
Zhang Tingyu served tea, and asked someone to bring a bowl, took a sip of tea, paused for a while, and then spit it out again, several sips in a row, before a glass of water was used to rinse his mouth.
In the end, he slowly asked someone to bring a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands; he changed another handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers clean before looking at Gu San.
Gu Huaixiu was picking at the teacup, feeling that he might not be able to eat anything tonight.
She hated it so much, she just felt that the master in front of her was so cheap!
The two of them can be regarded as standing up to each other.
"Snapped."
As soon as the teacup was pressed on the table, Gu Huaishu waved his hands in anger: "Everyone go out, go out..."
He did not rectify people, but he cheated himself.Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?
Gu Huaixiu really almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Tingyu's eyebrows stretched, and he was a bit leisurely, he still sat there cross-legged, and said: "After venting your anger, are you happy this time?"
Happy?
Ha ha.
I am not happy.
Are you brainless?
Gu Huai thought of such a sentence nonsensically.
She was a little frustrated, she sat back like a wilted eggplant, her head was about to fall to the ground, and said half-deadly: "Happy...can't get up."
Zhang Tingyu shook his head and laughed: "If you harm others, you will end up harming yourself."
"Bah!" Gu Huaixiu spat at him, "A good person doesn't live long, but a disaster lasts for a thousand years—well, like you."
"..."
Well, Zhang Tingyu has become a disaster again, and I don't know who has no good intentions to harm whom.
Zhang Tingyu is just using reasonable means to "treat him in his own way", although he is quite clever.
He was a little proud, and said: "I am a disaster, and you are not much better. A couple of disasters, who grow old together, are scary."
"You can talk nonsense."
Gu Huaishu gave him a sideways look.
After a while, she said again: "You are the one who caught the knife for me?"
"half."
Zhang Tingyu tapped his kneecap lightly with his fingers, but he didn't know what tune it was.
Gu Huaixiu said, "Why?"
"The fourth elder brother asked the elder brother to catch the knife for you. My elder brother was lazy and asked me." Zhang Tingyu confessed that he stopped pretending for a while.
Gu Huaixiu was speechless for a moment.
She pinched her fingers, lowered her head, with a gloomy expression on her face.
What a fourth elder brother, he really digs holes for himself everywhere, saying that he wants to loosen his fingers and let her go, is this the way to let go?
It's like keeping a rabbit in a cage for two or three years, and the rabbit begged to be released.Heh, the person who locked it let go, said "Okay", and then let her out, but the outside was full of holes he dug.
One pit, one accurate!
Isn't this about Gu Huaixiu jumping off and being played to death? !
She gritted her teeth negatively, very upset.
I found a knife catcher for those who would become future husbands. At that time, Gu Huaishu was not married yet.
If it's not a scam, let alone Gu Huaishu, pigs won't believe it!
Brother Si's heart is so dark!
Although he knew that it was impossible for this future Yongzheng Lord to not have any thought, but such a pitfall was beyond Gu Huaixiu's imagination.
How did you get married now?
"I'm already involved with the fourth elder brother, why didn't you withdraw from the marriage?" She suddenly wondered.
Then the next question came out, Gu Huaishu had something to do with the fourth elder brother, so why did Zhang Tingzan have something to do with the fourth elder brother?
Fourth elder brother finds someone to catch a knife, which involves the serious crime of deceiving the emperor, there is no reason to find someone he is not familiar with, even if he is familiar with someone, if it is not his own confidant, it is terrible.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaixiu shivered violently.
She raised her eyes, and Zhang Tingyu looked at her calmly.
He said: "Brother told me everything, why should I be suspicious? It's not easy to get tempted once, who knows if there will be another time if you don't catch it? But you, what are you thinking?"
In other words, Zhang Tingyu knew that their Gu family had messed up.
The family ugliness is not publicized, but unexpectedly, it was shaken out by the spirit of the fourth elder brother.
She muffled: "Your elder brother...why isn't he just like your father?"
Zhang Ying is a member of the emperor's party, why is Zhang Tingzan involved with the fourth elder brother?
Also, Zhang Tingzan is currently working in the Zhan Shifu, which is involved with the prince. The situation here is a bit more complicated for Zhang Tingzan.
These things, Zhang Tingyu is actually not clear.
He slightly curled his lips: "Brother is the eldest son of the family, so he and his father naturally have some considerations. Let's not speculate about what is going on."
"I just thought of one thing." Gu Huaishu raised his eyes and met his gaze, "Your uncle Mingzhu."
Uncle Mingzhu, Nalan Mingzhu.
Zhang Tingyu really wanted to call Mingzhu an uncle, after all Zhang Ying had a good relationship with Nalan Mingzhu.
But that's just the friendship between the parents, and everyone is happy to see "Uncle Mingzhu" on some occasions on weekdays, and they will definitely turn their faces and deny people when they come back to do things.
Gu Huaixiu just said it so casually, Zhang Tingyu naturally knew it, and he continued to tap his knee lightly with his fingers.
"You mean, my father is the same as Mingzhu?"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head.
Nalan Mingzhu is a veteran.
On the one hand, he helped the eldest elder brother Yinyi, and followed the crowd to call the elder brother "Da Qiansui"; on the other hand, he called the prince's teacher Zhang Ying a brother and brother, and win him over, which is regarded as win over the prince and keep himself; , his son Nalan Kuixu is now in contact with the princes who are still young.
What a veteran who has experienced ups and downs in officialdom.
How could Zhang Tingyu not know the meaning of Gu Huaishu's words?
"The Zhuge family of the Three Kingdoms is a family of counselors. Zhuge Kongming came out of the crouching dragon, but his elder brother Zhuge Jin was in Jiangdong to advise Soochow. But any family of counselors with brains likes business that can make money without losing money."
Gu Huaishu touched his smooth fingernails, thinking about when to apply the juice of impatiens.
She spoke slowly, then turned her eyes to look at Zhang Tingyu, "Nalan Mingzhu knows this truth, your father may not know it."
But Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "If you want to press, you shouldn't press on the fourth elder brother. Who is behind this?"
Isn't the fourth elder brother the prince's man?
Can……
If so, why bother?
With Zhang Tingzan's current ability, it is more than enough to vote under the prince's command, so there is no reason to be with an unknown fourth elder brother.
When he said this, Gu Huaishu woke up a little bit.
She has been thinking about things from her own side, so she pays special attention to the fourth elder brother who is destined to succeed, but forgets that the current fourth elder brother is not showing his edge at all, and is still keeping a low profile. It will take years to marry Fujin .
Therefore, if calculated according to this situation, it is impossible for Zhang Tingzan to seek refuge with the fourth elder brother in order to seek refuge with the prince.
...So, the final question became: what exactly is Zhang Ying thinking, and does he know what Zhang Tingzan is thinking?
Zhang Tingyu thought of the moderate words Zhang Ying had said to him, and felt his brain ache.
He didn't want to think about it any more, the matter had already been settled in his mind.
"Don't think about it any more. I just got up and told you once. It's better than you will find out that I was the one who caught the knife for you in the future. It was embarrassing at that time, and I don't know what the situation is."
In fact, it is not a big deal.
Originally, Gu Huaixiu thought he didn't know, but he didn't expect that the two brothers were both good friends, but it seemed that she had become a villain.
She nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Tingyu said again: "Yesterday you told me about Miss Chen and my third brother, and today my third brother also came to see me. It seems that he really doesn't want to marry Miss Chen."
Do not want to marry?
Gu Huaixiu frowned, quite interested.
Looking at his slender and white fingers, Gu Huaishu's bad thoughts started to come out again.
It has nothing to do with her to decide whether other people's lives are good or not.
Zhang Tingyu even used words like "I really don't want to", which proves that Zhang Tinglu actually hates that little girl Chen extremely.
When others are unhappy, Gu Huaishu is happy.
She smiled brightly: "Third Uncle and Miss Chen will definitely grow old together."
Look at this smile, water can be squeezed out of a face.
How could Zhang Tingyu not know her bad intentions?
It's just that this kind of thing can't be changed at all. A little bit of malice is harmless?
He is not an upright and honest gentleman, his wife is so small-bellied and insidious, Zhang Tingyu simply married whoever he looked like.
The two of them chatted for a few words, and then they had dinner.
Gu Huaixiu thought about it, and felt that it would be hard for Miss Chen to marry.Anyway, they can't talk about it.I'm afraid that if you marry in, you will also be divorced.The life of husband and wife is not that simple.
For example, the night between Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu...
The maids outside didn't fall asleep until midnight.
"Go away! Don't kiss me..."
"Ah, go away..."
"So annoying...you have a taste in your mouth..."
"It's as if you have no taste in your mouth..."
"...Why do I still feel spicy..."
"Hey, get out of the way..."
"Say goodbye! Go down!"
There was a sound of "gudong", and the world finally became quiet.
A beautiful tomorrow has arrived in Gu Huaishu's dark circles.
