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

Chapter 47 Zhang Banxian

The plum blossoms in Mingzhu Mansion bloomed early, which amazed everyone in Beijing.Nalan Kuixu, the second son of Mingzhu, simply distributed invitations widely, inviting people to sing and admire plum blossoms. For a while, everyone in Beijing was yearning for it.

Although Zhang Ying is a Han minister, he is also an important minister in the court, and the invitation has been sent long ago.

Today Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu got up early, and together with Zhang Tingzan and others went to Wu's side to pay their respects, but Wu's simply let the second son and second daughter-in-law sit there without saying a word.

Gu Huaishu and Zhang Tingyu are both sensible people, they just sat there silently.

Zhang Tingyu is still kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying books. I heard that he will come to pay his respects today, but he hasn't come yet.

Mrs. Wu looked around for a while, only talking to Zhang Tingzan and Zhang Tinglu, and then asked again: "Yuzhu just took care of the affairs of the house, can you handle it?"

Mother-in-law asked, how dare you ignore her?
Mrs. Chen got the right to be the housekeeper for no reason. She was afraid that Mrs. Wu would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not in good health, and most of them are helped by Chang'an, and nothing major happened, so I can handle it."

Mrs. Wu snorted, and said coldly: "It's fine if you can deal with it, and it's not in vain to hurt you."

Having said that, Chen was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Tingzan raised his eyelids, a little unhappy, Wu Shi likes him, but it doesn't mean he likes his wife too.After so many years, Mrs. Chen still has no news about her stomach, but her health is getting worse and worse. Even if this person is the future daughter-in-law selected by Zhang Ying, Mrs. Wu dare not talk too much, and she is already tired of Mrs. Chen in her heart.

Now that Mrs. Chen is in charge of the house, Mrs. Wu has nothing to do. Isn't this a slap in the face for her?Anyway, she is still the mistress of the house, and now she has come to this end.

Zhang Tingzan only put the teacup away, and said in a calm tone, "Yuzhu has a calm temperament and has always handled things safely. With her in the middle, mother can also take good care of her body."

Wu Shi never expected that her eldest son, whom she had always loved, would turn up against her.

The son couldn't help his mother, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, he began to dislike his mother. I didn't see it a few years ago, but now I understand it more and more.

She was so angry that she wanted to reprimand her eldest son, but when she thought about it, how could she reprimand him?
Left and right, only one Chen family can be counted down.

Chang'an is a sensible person, standing beside the old lady, whispered softly: "Your maidservant sees that the youngest mistress is also a sweetheart, but what the uncle said is correct, old lady, don't worry so much, be careful that you are exhausted body."

"Aren't I doing it for the sake of the mansion?" Wu Shi blamed, and glanced at Chang'an, and only Chang'an was her favorite, and she was always there to protect her.

Now that Chang'an has interrupted, Mrs. Wu gave Zhang Tingzan a meaningful look, but went to ask Mrs. Chen: "Yuzhu, this big maid by my side has been with me for many years. If there is anything you don't understand, just come and ask." She knows what is going on in this mansion. Besides, I see that your body hasn't recovered for many years, so don't worry too much about Ting Zan's affairs. After all, it's more important to be in the mansion. Wait until you get out of Master Mingzhu's mansion today. When I come back, I will ask Changan to find you a doctor, and then I will take a good look at it."

Two bright slaps stretched out, and they slapped Chen's face.

Wu's words are not polite at all, daughters-in-law all over the world feel bad.In the past, Mrs. Wu felt that the elder son was good here and there, but after marrying a wife, nothing would be good.Now the eldest son dares to do it for the Chen family?Hitting her, she wanted to hit her face back again.

Gu Huaishu stayed by the side without saying a word, but when he listened, he felt concerned.

Zhang Ying is a reliable person. Marrying such a stupid woman as Wu is actually a bad wife.In the end, apart from being biased, there is nothing wrong with Wu Shi.Which woman in the back house doesn't care about children?It's just that the elder sister-in-law Chen's body has been made a lot of troubles, as expected, but it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

What's more, the words are not right, the young mistress even asks the maids around the old lady to do things, which makes people feel that Chang'an is more respectable than the Chen family.

She glanced at Zhang Tingyu quietly, but found that the person opposite her didn't seem to hear this at all. The tea cup was placed on the table next to him, but the person closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

It's a good look of being completely out of the way.

Thinking about Zhang Ergong's position in this family, Gu Huaishu became more and more interesting.

Ganqing only weakened his own sense of existence, knowing that he was annoying, so he didn't join in.

It is really amazing for mother and son to do this.

The older a person is, the more biased his heart is. Seeing that several sons are growing up one after another, the heart becomes more biased towards the younger ones.

Mrs. Chen obediently responded to Mrs. Wu, while praising Chang'an as a capable person. There was nothing she could do to save face by following Mrs. Wu's words.

Zhang Tingzan could only sigh secretly, and the word "filial piety" made him speechless.

Wang Fushun's family at the door suddenly said "Ouch", "Fourth Young Master is finally here."

Wu Shi immediately stood up and almost knocked over the teacup in hand.

She walked into the hall in two steps, "Ting Yu, come and show me, my God, I've become so skinny after seeing this... How can the master be so cruel? Could it be that this one is not his son? It turned out to be like this! Ting Yu, come on, let me see..."

The teacup in Gu Huaishu's hand shook, almost splashing two drops of hot tea.

This time, Zhang Tingyu finally opened his eyelids, and looked coldly at Mrs. Wu who was bending over Zhang Tingyu.He only glanced at it, seemed to feel disgusted, then lowered his head again, took the tea, fiddled with the tea lid, felt a little disgusted, and put the tea down.

How can Mrs. Wu say that Zhang Ying is eccentric?
Zhang Ying punished Zhang Tingyu because of the relationship between Gu Huaxiu and Zhang Tingyu, the second wife. Isn't this a roundabout way of scolding Zhang Ying for favoring their second wife?

There are still such mothers in the world.

Gu Huaixiu thought about it, even her mother had never exaggerated like this before.

Zhang Tingyu has obviously lost a lot of weight, and looks really haggard.

One is because I was ill a while ago, and the other is because I was punished in the ancestral hall this time, and I had to copy family instructions and other things...

He was still young, and he was once pampered in the palm of his hand. Now that he encounters such a thing, it is not uncommon for him to be overwhelmed.

He looked at Gu Huaishu timidly, and lowered his head: "Mother, Ting Yu is fine, he just copied the family instructions, and my father didn't punish me much..."

After asking for family law, the wound left behind was healed very quickly.

For this child, this incident is something that he will never forget for the rest of his life. As for what he will grow up in the future, no one knows.

Whether this matter is good or bad is not what they can predict.

Wu Shi only felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Gu Huaishu, but seeing Gu Huaishu's distracted look, she immediately gritted her teeth with hatred.

She touched Zhang Tingyu's head, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. In the future, mother will take care of this kind of thing. Let's see who dares to bully you."

"Father said that he is a man, so he should take care of himself. Ting Yu doesn't want mother to help."

Zhang Tingxuan shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

Compared with his mother, he yearns for his father and elder brother more, so once these two people say something, they are willing to believe it.

But now Wu's statement conflicted with the other two, and for Zhang Tingyu, things were really difficult.

"Your father is talking nonsense, don't believe him... Come, come to mother and have a good talk."

Wu Shi spat, as if not paying attention to Zhang Ying's words.

Gu Huaishu immediately thought of a sentence: A loving mother gives birth to a defeated son.

After this incident, Zhang Tingyuan has matured a lot, and he also knew that it is not good for him to lie in his mother's arms, so he said: "It is good for my son to sit below."

The "below" he refers to is where Zhang Tinglu strikes.

Seeing the fourth son pointing to that position, Mrs. Wu felt lost for some reason.

Wearily, she got up and returned to her place. Seeing that her fourth son seemed to have grown up suddenly, with a gloomy face, she felt betrayed, and suddenly felt lonely.

Zhang Tingyu was also tired from sitting, so he got up and said: "Master Mingzhu's house is still having a banquet, and my son and Huaixiu are not ready yet, so I will take my leave first."

Gu Huaishu didn't expect Zhang Tingyu to be so dishonorable this time, and he was frightened.

But since Zhang Tingyu has stood up, isn't it a rebellion if she doesn't stand up?

Gu Huaixiu stood up bravely, and said goodbye to Mrs. Wu, his words were still very polite, and he looked filial.

Wu sneered: "If you two don't want to pay your respects, you don't have to come in the future, so why force yourself?"

"Mother-in-law, isn't Hengchen..." Gu Huaishu heard this, and felt that it was inappropriate.

She wanted to smooth things over, but she never expected that Zhang Tingyu, who was standing in this hall and had never talked much, would speak for the second time for the first time.

He smiled warmly, Chunshan was slightly warm, and his eyes were peaceful: "Mother is really a considerate person, so - my son thanked me."

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Whether it's Gu Huaixiu or Zhang Tingzan, or the Chen family, Zhang Tinglu and others...

The second master has always been a dull gourd in such occasions, pretending that he does not exist at all, and can sit until everyone disappears.He doesn't like to talk, and it is said that he has a dull temper, which also gives people a feeling of swallowing his anger.

But today, Zhang Tingyu's expression remained unchanged, and even after he calmly said such a word that would make Wu go crazy, everyone seemed to feel that something was wrong.

These were just sarcastic words from Mrs. Wu, but she never expected that Zhang Tingyu would say "Thank you" so rebelliously!

Wu's face turned red and white, she said those words.

How can the words spoken and the water spilled be taken back? !

Originally expected to embarrass the second son, satirize the second daughter-in-law, so that these two unfilial people could not get off the stage, but now they are answered with such a sentence?
"Heng Chen!"

"What else does mother want?"

Gu Huaixiu was a little at a loss as to what to do, he couldn't tell what the situation was now, but Zhang Tingyu was calm and unruffled, on the contrary, he didn't seem to know what terrible things he had said, so he asked Wu Shi sentence.

Wu Shi was so choked that she couldn't speak, panting hard, Chang'an saw this and hurried up to give Wu Shi some comfort, fearing that something might happen to her.

Chang An looked considerate, and opened his mouth cautiously: "Second Master, the old lady just cares about you, such polite words, why do you..."

Zhang Tingyu didn't hear it at all, a little maid, what's she talking about when the master is talking?Do you also regard yourself as the master?
Gu Huaixiu frowned when he heard this, and he didn't like this honest and capable Chang'an even more in his heart.

After all, if Wu Shi didn't have such a powerful person by his side, it would be impossible for him to be unrestrained for so many years.

Wu's eyes were red, she stared at Zhang Tingyu, and she almost passed away with anger, who in the house didn't call her old madam?Now being blocked like this by people, I haven't recovered from it at all.Is the rebellious son in front of her the Zhang Tingyu who has been submissive in her eyes? !After all, it's all the flesh that fell from her body, no matter how tough her fate is, she definitely can't be rebellious like this!

Then Gu Huaixiu, what are you talking about about IKEA IKEA, how can you see such a look now?
Wu only felt that this blocked her heart, what kind of IKEA, but she was not the one who was afraid of "appropriate"!
"Orders? Dare I have any orders for you? I'm just being polite, but you don't even have filial piety!"

Wu Shi yelled sharply, frightening everyone in the room.

The always kind old lady, this time she got so angry, the life of the second wife is probably going to be hard.

It was supposed to be a good morning celebration before the Plum Recitation Banquet, but this incident happened unexpectedly, how could the Second Young Master be so clueless?

Wu Shi originally spoke out to be sarcastic, but Zhang Tingyu's words were more piercing than the tip of a needle.

Now the more irritating thing is yet to come, he still looks gentle and gentle, it seems that he is not angry at all.

"Mother made a joke. The son has always listened to your words. If you say go east, go east, and if you say go west, go west. You let the son not come, and the son never dares to take the mother's words as a joke. This is called 'Filial piety'. Mother just said it seriously."

Gu Huaishu's head was in a cold sweat.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Wu only knew a few words, but didn't understand much. What Zhang Tingyu said was indeed well-founded, but it was a fallacy.

But crooked reasoning has its benefits, and no matter how you argue, it feels wrong.

How could Mrs. Wu have thought that the second son's sourness made people speechless!

Thinking of the life that the Taoist priest had given him, Wu was so angry that he reached out to grab the teacup and threw it on the ground in the hall. There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the boiling water splashed away. Zhang Tingyu stood there but Not affected.

"roll!"

Wu Shi finally didn't want to see him at all.

This time, she finally threw a stone at her foot, she was so angry that she wished she could throw Zhang Tingyu out.

"Since the mother has no more instructions, the son will go, and the son and Huaixiu will leave."

He bowed slightly, and Gu Huaishu followed suit.

Originally, they were supposed to leave, but Zhang Tingyu pulled Gu Huai's sleeves, turned around and went out directly, without paying attention to the others in the room.

The mother and son were completely paralyzed.

Gu Huaishu couldn't imagine what Wu's anger would look like in the room, but he also felt that the situation they were in was a bit uncomfortable.

Being held by Zhang Tingyu's left hand, Gu Huaishu felt her palms sweat slightly, she didn't know what to say, any words were pale in front of Zhang Tingyu.

With a mother like Wu, it's no wonder that he has such a dull temper.

But Zhang Tingyu sighed, and the cloud was very light: "You are the one who suffers when you marry me."

She chuckled, "It's not bad, I'm in Gu's house, and the knife is still hanging around my neck."

Both the left and right husband and wife can think about it, and after talking for a while, they feel that they are getting closer.

In this mansion, they are destined to be people on the fringe, just make do with it.

In Zhang Ying's house, nothing big could happen, it's not a glorious thing to be restless at home, if Mrs. Wu is not stupid enough, she would never dare to make a big deal out of it.

After the trouble this morning, I can sleep in later.

Gu Huaishu unexpectedly became happy: "In the future, I don't have to get up early, it's really good."

Zhang Tingyu pulled her and went out. The carriage was already waiting outside. They sat in the carriage for about a quarter of an hour before Zhang Tingzan and others came out.

The car door rang, and someone knocked lightly.

Zhang Tingyu lifted the curtain, and it turned out that Zhang Tingzan was standing beside their car, "Second brother, can I take a step to talk?"

Take a step to speak?
What can I say?

Zhang Tingyu only slowly lowered the curtain and said, "Brother, I know how to measure, so there is no need to say anything."

Zhang Tingzan stood outside for a while, sighed, and finally returned to his car.

"Does it matter?"

Gu Huaixiu raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Tingyu said, "I don't even think about it, I know what brother is going to say. Why bother to listen?"

After listening to this for many years, my ears are getting callused.

He paused, and then said: "I can't bear it now, how long can elder brother bear it? He and sister-in-law are husband and wife, and sister-in-law is not worried about it now, something will happen sooner or later."

This idle tone of waiting for something to happen to watch a good show...

Gu Huaixiu was dumbfounded, his brain was really not enough.

She knew Chang'an was a problem, and Chen's childlessness was also a problem, but Zhang Tingyu said that Zhang Tingzan, who was the safest, would have an accident here, but Gu Huaixiu never thought of it.

"How do I feel that you are comparable to the fortune tellers outside?"

Zhang Tingyu was lying on his back, with his hands intertwined behind his head, raised his eyebrows, pretending to be relaxed: "Tiekou cut off Zhang Banxian, Kong Fang brothers five, can be counted as past lives and present lives!"

"Bah! You can buy a half-celestial fortune teller for five cents, and you are really worthless!"

Gu Huaishu stabbed him without hesitation, but finally said: "Then you tell my fate?"

Zhang Tingyu in the car pinched her fingers pretendingly, and then sighed: "Good fate, good fate! She is a noble lady who has been rich and wealthy for half her life, and has a lot of blessings! My nobleman, I haven't seen such a good fate for many years." Already...Young mistress is so powerful, she can take care of the villain a lot in the future."

Gu Huaishu laughed out loud, huddled in his arms, and counted his fingers one by one: "When my young mistress is prosperous and rich, you just come to my door to beg for food. If I have a bite to eat, you will definitely be indispensable. But if If it’s not accurate, what should I do?”

Zhang Tingyu laughed, the couple was shameless in a match.

If she is rich and famous, where will she come from?

Zhang Tingyu said leisurely: "I, Zhang Banxian, approve orders. If I don't approve, I will be fine. A batch is astonishing, and there is no doubt. What is the crime?"

"shameless……"

If you put aside those bad things, life is actually leisurely.

Gu Huaishu put his hand on Zhang Tingyu's palm, and when he heard the sound of the car shaft pressing on the road, he suddenly felt a sense of stability.
