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

Chapter 5
Regardless of who loves whom, Gu Huaishu changed to the second residence after coming to Tongcheng that night.

Next door is the courtyard where the girl from Zhang's family lived before. I heard that this girl insisted on marrying a businessman and traveled all the way south.

Gu Huaishu didn't need Qingdai to call, so he woke up early.

She always wakes up early, but after waking up, she is not necessarily sober, mostly in a daze.

After dressing up, it was still dark and Qingdai was also sleepy, so she said: "The food in this house is exquisite, I'm afraid it won't suit Miss."

If you can eat well, Gu Huaishu will eat it naturally, if you can't eat, what else can you do?
The guest does what the host does, but she still dares to turn the guest into the host?

Gu Huaixiu only felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she thought she should go to sleep, but her feet automatically led her to the carved lacquer table in front of the hall. All he ate was barley and red bean porridge, nothing else.

Seeing the maid of the Zhang family outside, she didn't say a word. After she finished eating, she ordered the breakfast meal to be taken away, and she was going to meet the young master of the Zhang family.

This man, who was a Jinshi in his twenties, is a first-class and educated person. He is also an official in the court now, but he accompanied Zhang Ying back to worship his ancestors, so he has leisure.

Looking back, Gu Zhenguan could tell those mother-in-law matchmakers: The third miss of the Gu family worshiped Zhang Tingzan as her teacher.

When she got impatient with Zhang Tingzan, maybe she could let Zhang Ying, a great scholar of the court, name Gu Huaishu as a student of Zhang Ying, so that she could get married anyway.

Gu Zhenguan had a good intention and worked hard, so hard that Gu Huaixiu couldn't even laugh.

She thought she came to Tongcheng for fun, but now it has become a purgatory.

Being led to the study, Gu Zhenguan and Zhang Ying were also there, leading Gu Huaixiu to get to know Zhang Tingzan, Gu Huaixiu saw the two mustaches on Tingzan's lips, and couldn't help being speechless .

Zhang Tingzan just happened to be bored recently, and he complained to his father that he had nothing to do, but Zhang Ying found him something to do yesterday.

When sir?He's good at it.

Now, after Gu Zhenguan and Zhang Ying got to know each other, they went out for a spring outing to compose poems, and only Gu Huaishu and Zhang Tingzan were left staring at each other in the room.

Zhang Tingzan took two steps in front of her. He already knew that the marriage between his second brother and the eldest lady of the Gu family had been settled. The two families will be in-laws in the future, and the sister-in-law's sister will be his sister, but what does this sister look like...

"The third girl has been staring at me, but what's wrong?"

Gu Huaishu withdrew his gaze from staring at Zhang Tingzan's beard, shook his head, and said solemnly: "No."

Needless to say, Zhang Tingzan's talent is naturally far superior to his father's. He touched his two mustaches and said, "Since I have become the husband of the third girl, when the third girl comes to this study in the future, she will call me "Mr. 'Sir', I hope the third girl will remember it well."

A ruler was placed on the table, Zhang Tingzan did not move, but the expression on his face became serious.

Wearing a moon-white robe, he asked Gu Huaishu to stand in front of the desk, which was covered with rice paper, and said, "Please write a few words for me first."

"Yes, sir."

Most people would be happy to have such a gentleman, but Gu Huaishu is not an ordinary person, so she is not happy.

When she picked up the pen, she felt that what she was holding was not a pen, but a sword, the sword that killed her.

His hands were shaking, and he couldn't write when he shook. After drawing crookedly on the paper for a while, Gu Huai put down the pen without changing his face.This time, her hands finally stopped shaking, and she calmly said to Zhang Tingzan, "Sir, it's finished."

Zhang Tingzan was sitting on the side reading the poem, thinking that she recovered so quickly, got up and walked this way, and almost fell over with just one glance.

As the ancients said, characters are like people.

Be good, if this Gu San's words are like Gu San's person...

Zhang Tingzan was speechless for a long time.He felt that Gu Zhenguan and Zhang Ying were simply embarrassing himself. He could carve a piece of ordinary wood, but when it came to rotten wood, even a skilled craftsman could not carve it.

Gu Huaixiu knew that her calligraphy was a little more amazing, and she had already seen Zhang Tingzan's expression on the faces of many gentlemen.

She has "good" calligraphy, and she has forced her to pass through many teachers.

Gu Huaishu is not good at anything, he is delicious, lazy and ignorant, but there is only one thing that others can't compare to - thick skin. "Mr. also thinks that the word 'student' has a unique temperament, right?"

Zhang Tingzan: "..."

He really can't teach this student.

Looking at the lookout house?Cross beam, Zhang Tingzan made a difficult decision. He saw Zhang Tingyu passing through the corridor and decided to sacrifice his second brother.

He said: "Miss Gu is really a prodigy in calligraphy. Ting Zan is not talented enough to be the teacher of Miss San. Let me find a better one for you."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and went out as if fleeing.

Qing Dai was standing in the outer corner to wait, finally she couldn't hold back at this moment, her shoulders were trembling, and she burst out laughing.

"I'm laughing to death, servant girl. Is there a gentleman in this world that you can't force, miss? Another one left..."

Gu Zhenguan is a great Confucianist, he couldn't teach Gu Huaishu well, so he invited a lot of gentlemen to come.Think about what kind of reputation this Gu Zhenguan has among literati, how easy it is to hire a gentleman?But unfortunately, no one can teach Gu Huaishu.

The gentlemen who came all said, Gu Yaofang is good, Gu Yaofang is good.You ask Gu Yaofang where is it good?The gentlemen said "Gu Yaofang is good everywhere".

As for Gu Huaishu——

Hehe, teach whoever you love.

Gu Huaixiu actually enjoyed it quite a bit.This kind of skill of "I am standing still, and I have killed countless masters" is not ordinary to be able to cultivate to the current state. "Little girl, just laugh. I'll tell my father tomorrow that I, this girl, should also learn to read and write, so that I won't be able to read a word when I go out to fight in the future."

The tone was cold and threatening.How could Qingdai fail to understand, she slapped immediately, shaking her head like a rattle: "Miss misunderstood, this servant is complimenting you."

Gu Huaishou believed that she was a ghost. She admired her handwriting, touched her delicate chin after a while, and muttered: "Actually, I also feel that my handwriting has improved a lot."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were slight footsteps coming from the door.

Gu Huaishu turned his head and saw Zhang Tingyu standing outside, he was surprised, why did this person come here?

She thought of what Zhang Tingzan said before he left, could it be that "find someone better" is this one?Gu Huaixiu and Zhang Tingyu have formed a secret enmity, but the boss is not willing at this moment.

Not to mention the great defense of men and women, let's count him as his new husband, but this person has the ability to teach himself?Just make fun of her.

"Hello, Second Young Master Zhang."

On the surface, Gu Huaishu was still polite.

Zhang Tingyu finally saw Gu Huaixiu's true face, oval face, slightly pointed chin, small face, willow brows and almond eyes, long nose and red lips - the appearance is very good, but the reputation is very bad.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu also returned the gift: "My brother just had something to do. He said that the sister-in-law invited him to visit, but asked me to come over temporarily and watch the third girl study and practice calligraphy for urging. I can be regarded as the third girl's temporary teacher."

After Zhang Tingyu's words came out, Gu Huaixiu listened, and then she felt that she really wanted to turn against this family.

But in a blink of an eye, she suppressed this thought, and if she could force one gentleman away, she would naturally be able to force the second one away.The four brothers of the Zhang family forced one elder brother away, and the second younger brother came in. When she forced this one away again, I don't know what age?Can Zhang Tinglu, who is much like herself, come?
Naturally it cannot.

So, basically forcing this Tingyu away, Gu Huaishu's leisurely life will be over.

She suddenly smiled, feeling that Zhang Tingyu was no longer obscene, "Hi, Mr. Second."

What is the strange name of Mr. Er?
Zhang Tingyu felt a little speechless, he is not a person who shows his emotions, he only stood in the position where his brother Zhang Tingzan had just stood, "Please ask the second girl to borrow the calligraphy."

calligraphy?

Qing Dai over there almost bent over laughing, she held back desperately, but still made a little noise.

Gu Huaishu glared at her, then smiled and turned around the words he just wrote, "Mr. Er, please have a look."

Zhang Tingyu: "..."

He suddenly understood his brother.

Faced with such words, even a literati can collapse.

On this beautiful piece of rice paper in front of me, I have used the best Hui ink to draw... Ghost painting symbols?

Maybe that's the only way to describe it.

Crooked, even swaying, her handwriting is like a group of drunks who can't tell the difference between east, west, and north after drinking too much.

Zhang Tingyu's face was serious, and he only slowly picked up the ruler placed on the table, gently rubbed the surface of the bamboo with his fingertips, and said: "Third Miss's calligraphy is much uglier, but it is not bad. save."

This is the first time someone has said that Gu Huaixiu's character is "ugly" so bluntly, and it is also the first time someone has said that she can still be saved. Of course——

It was also the first time I saw someone pick up a ruler.

I don't know why, when Gu Huaishu saw Zhang Tingyu pick up the ruler, he started to tremble.

She thought that the Second Young Master would never do anything to a woman, so she comforted herself, so she forced a smile and said, "Second Young Master Zhang is still the first—"

"In the study, Miss San please call me sir." Zhang Tingyu interrupted and corrected her.

Gu Huai's sleeve choked, he felt that he was rigid, and wanted to argue a few words, but after thinking about it, he held back: "Yes, sir."

"Practice the posture of holding the pen first." Zhang Tingyu said to himself, and took two steps. "Since ancient times, the handwriting is like the person. The three girls are born beautiful, but the handwriting should not be so ugly. The handwriting is crooked, but the person is crooked. The posture is wrong."

You are holding the pen in the wrong posture!

Gu Huaishu automatically translated, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.As soon as she stood in front of the desk, she was lazy and didn't want to move, as if she had no bones.

But when Zhang Tingyu asked, she didn't dare not respond, so she stood up straight and picked up the pen.

She had just stretched her hand halfway, and just touched the lake pen with her fingertips, when she heard a "pop".

Zhang Tingyu's ruler landed on the back of her hand, and he said flatly, "Be straight."

"I have stood upright, why did you do it?"

Gu Huaixiu was in so much pain that tears came out, and the back of his hand became red immediately, and he raised his eyes and stared at him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingyu was wearing a green robe, his face was like a crown of jade, although his thin lips were slightly curved, but there was no smile at all.A pair of narrow eyes lost their gentleness, appearing serious and slightly cold, flipping the ruler gently in his hand, just looking at her like this.

"Precept the ruler, use the ring as a ruler. Precepts, admonish, advise, and abstain; rulers, measure, rule, square and round." Zhang Tingyu's voice was slightly flat, "I use a ruler to discipline the three girls, sir, what's wrong with using a ruler to discipline students? ?”
