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

Chapter 70

Liao Fengyuan suddenly felt that these two couples were here to trick him.

He held his breath in front of his chest, if Gu Huaishu was a man, or someone he was familiar with, he would have been scolded bloody by now.

Zhou Daoxin looked weird, but now seeing this situation, he immediately laughed, pointed at Liao Fengyuan and said, "Master Liao, everyone in the world drinks tea like this, so why not be more decisive? Wouldn't it be easier? The second young lady is also a Wonderful man...hahaha..."

However, Gu Huaishu suddenly thought about it, and felt that the shopkeeper Liao was a bit interesting, and he didn't intend to tease him.

With a bit of natural innocence in her expression, she glanced at Zhang Tingyu.

The culprit sat in his own seat, and he really didn't move. The old god was there, turning the tea cup gently with his fingers, and sighed pretendingly: "Shopkeeper Liao, don't be angry, why did you drink it into your stomach?" Isn't it drinking? In short, I didn't sprinkle a drop, the cow chewed the peony, and the emphasis was on the word "chew". Taste tea, but it's just "taste".

You also know that the word "pin" has three characters!

There is a big difference between drinking tea in three sips and drinking tea in one sip.

Gu Huaishu held back and didn't refute him, just waiting for Shopkeeper Liao's reaction.

The shopkeeper was depressed for a while, and he simply flicked his sleeves: "These days, the little brats are really making me feel worse...you drink it yourself, drink it yourself."

After speaking, people have gone out.

In the private room, only Zhang Tingyu, Gu Huaishu and Zhou Daoxin were left.

Gu Huaishu still wondered when these two people met, she didn't speak, and stood by the window with tea.

Zhou Daoxin glanced at Gu Huaishu, but didn't care, and said to Zhang Tingyu, "When I first came in, I heard people say that Jiang Ning Xuezheng has changed."

Replaced?
Zhang Tingyu was startled, "Who did it change?"

The administration of education and administration is the usual rural examination. It is now the 31st year of Kangxi, the rural examination is in the autumn of 32, and the general examination is in the spring of 33. Generally, places that the emperor attaches importance to will appoint some ministers to serve as the chief examiners of the rural examination.Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi were among the Hanchens who were frequently targeted, but they were responsible for different places every year.

It's not time now, why did you change people for nothing?
The important thing is, if the replacement person is not of great importance, Zhou Daoxin has no reason to say it.

Zhou Daoxin lived next to Liulichang a long time ago, and met Zhang Tingyu when he was buying Hui ink.After all, Zhou Daoxin has a weird personality, and Zhang Tingyu is not a normal person.

Even though they didn't know each other, they became close friends.

At the Plum Yin Banquet in Mingzhu Mansion, they just pretended not to know each other intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Tingyu didn't want to let people know that he actually knew other people when Zhang Tingzan was present.

It's fine to go out and wander around on weekdays. I'm afraid that the mansion won't understand if you make friends with such a strange person as Zhou Daoxin.

Zhou Daoxin also thinks that Zhang Tingyu is a bit interesting. Others say that Mr. Zhang is not good enough, but Zhou Daoxin is willing to make friends with such a person.

People say that geniuses and ghosts have their own ideas. Although Zhou Daoxin and Zhang Tingyu have different personalities, they have something in common.

Only when you share the same interests can you become a confidant.

Zhou Daoxin just smiled and said: "Jiangning Xuezheng Zhao Zifang was a Jinshi in the same year as Mr. Zhang Ying. It's just that he was promoted step by step, and the other was sent out to be an official for many years. I heard that this Zhao Zifang and Mr. Zhang Ying have a long history. Resentment, I have read Master Zhang's several books a few years ago, but there is no news."

Now Zhao Zifang, who had a grudge against Zhang Ying, was suddenly promoted, and I don't know which side did it.

If no one blows the wind in front of the emperor, there will be no such result.

Zhou Daoxing was very interested: "If I remember correctly, brother Hengchen said that next year he will go to Jiangning Township Examination, I think it will be tricky."

Gu Huaishu stood by the window and listened, but for some reason, his heart tightened.

This week, Zhou Daoxin's mouth is really poisonous, but I have to say that what this person said is on point.

Gu Huaixiu also remembered this incident, Zhang Tingyu will take the provincial examination next year, if he passes, it will be the next year's general examination, and he will enter the official career smoothly.But if there is such a thing, there are scientific examination fraud cases every year, and every year, some people fail the rankings for no reason.

That's all right, anyway, Zhang Ying is often the chief examiner, but the problem is...

Is Zhang Ying willing to let Zhang Tingyu pass the exam?
Now the mansion is supported by Zhang Tingzan, Zhang Ying is well versed in the way of keeping a low profile. To make enemies.

The emperor was also afraid that his subordinates were too powerful and wanted to suppress them.

In the end, the king's heart is unpredictable, Zhang Ying is careful at every step.

If Zhao Zifang really wanted to embarrass Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying would have no choice but to admit the loss, and would not tear herself apart with her colleague Zhao Zifang out of various considerations.

Gu Huaixiu's conjecture was really shocking.

She couldn't help turning around and looking at Zhou Daoxin. This person must have thought of this, otherwise he wouldn't have told Zhang Tingyu.

How could Zhang Tingyu not understand?

He clenched the hand holding the teacup, then slowly put the teacup down and put it on the table.

"If it really happened, it would be a helpless thing."

Zhou Daoxin sighed: "I just want Brother Hengchen to be prepared."

It's really not something that can be said at this time.

The two of them just drank tea and chatted about outside affairs.

Speaking of Dai Youqi, who was selected as the No. [-] scholar last year because of his good handwriting, I heard that he has gone to live in seclusion, but Huang Shulin and others are doing well.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Nowadays, the Holy One likes people with good handwriting, but good handwriting alone is not enough."

A good hand can climb high, but a moment of slippage can lead to a fall.

There are gains and losses.

Zhou Daoxin said: "I'm going to Mr. Li Guangdi's mansion right now, I won't chat much, I'll take my leave first."

"Walk slowly."

Zhang Tingyu got up, saw Zhou Daoxin bowed and left, and then looked back at Gu Huaixiu.

Gu Huaixiu was holding a cup of tea by the window. She was wearing a pony bun, looking thin and tall. She was wearing an autumn-colored white butterfly and a flowered horse skirt, revealing the brilliance of spring. When the breeze blows in from outside, her eyes fluttered.

She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

I thought it was a good thing that Zhou Dao was new, after all, apart from his strange hobbies, he also seemed to be very humorous in his speech.

But I never thought that such a news would be said.

Gu Huaishu was feeling uncomfortable, but Zhang Tingyu's face was as usual. He just reached out to her and pulled her over: "Everything has a definite order, and you can't force it. I've heard of Zhao Zifang. .”

Before she could figure out how to reply, Zhang Tingyu suddenly said: "I think the mansion is getting more and more chaotic, why don't you find a chance to go back to live in Jiangnan, anyway, the township exam is there too. Running once every three years, I'm so tired Panic."

"Go to Jiangnan?"

It's not impossible, it's just...

For Zhang's side, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Gu Huaishu knew that he didn't want to stay in this mansion anymore, so he just laughed at him and said, "Obviously you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River yourself, but you want to rely on me, this is the first time I've seen Second Master Zhang like this .”

Zhang Tingyu said leisurely: "I am born shameless and skinless, I like to visit famous mountains and rivers, and the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, why not choose a day to go?"

"Then choose a day."

Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, Gu Huaixiu doesn't like the Zhang family either, but this opportunity has to be found slowly.

As long as the husband and wife are of one mind, things will be easy in the future.

It is almost impossible to separate the family. Zhang Tingyu has to take Zhang Tingzan's face into consideration. What's more, although he has a bad relationship with the Wu family, he is still a filial person and cannot leave regardless.If he really left everything behind and left, he might be accused of turning around.

Gu Huaishu reckoned that Zhang Tingyu had been thinking about it when he was looking at the scenery of the West Lake.

A pot of tea was empty, so Zhang Tingyu didn't sit here any longer, and went downstairs when he came out.

Liao Fengyuan actually stood behind the counter again, holding a teacup with some dry tea in it.

He just used his slightly rich fingers to gently rub the tea leaves in his hand one by one, with a worried expression on his face.

I saw this scene when I came here, and I saw it when I came back. Zhang Tingyu became curious: "The shopkeeper seems to be worried recently?"

Liao Fengyuan saw Zhou Daoxin come down before, but he didn't expect Zhang Tingyu to come down too.

He sighed and shook his head: "The tea business is getting harder and harder."

"From south to north every year, the price of this tea will increase by three to five times after crossing the Grand Canal. How can it be difficult to make?"

What's more, Liao Fengyuan is still the vice president of Wanqing Guild Hall?

Merchants from Suzhou and Hangzhou all gather here. Generally speaking, they will form a small regional business gang. When the merchants gather together, they can explore the price cost of each other and set prices directly, ensuring the stability of tea prices in various tea shops. It is roughly the same as that, so it is just right for everyone to do business.

Generally speaking, in Liao Fengyuan's position, it is impossible to worry about the difficulties in tea business.

But what Zhang Tingyu saw now was Liao Fengyuan's face full of embarrassment.

"Well, I have a private word for you."

Liao Fengyuan's white fingers were covered with beautiful tea leaves, wrapped one by one, one could tell it was good tea at a glance.

He used one word this time, "you".

This is not ordinary, at least when talking about this matter, Liao Fengyuan did not regard Zhang Tingyu as an ordinary tea drinker.

He pointed with five fingers: "The tea is transported from Jiangnan, not to mention the cost, and we have to pay another round for our tea shop. We must make money when we come here. Another one. If you want to see it, Mr. Zhang Alright, how about three more?"

When he counted a "one", he snapped off one finger and held it, and finally the remaining three fingers stood upright.

There was a slight mockery in Liao Fengyuan's eyes, he sighed and laughed at the same time: "The remaining three are all cross-river money."

Over the river money?
Gu Huaishu had never heard of it before, so it was quite new.

According to Liao's words, one penny of tea comes out of the tea farmers' pots and then transported to the north, it will become six pennies, one of which is tea money, and two penny is the tea sold by the tea shop to the tea farmers. Where is the remaining half of the profit and the profit of the tea shop itself?

Just cross the river.

This is the same as the toll that Gu Huaishu knew, it was really cheap.

But how did the river money get out?
Zhang Tingyu also knew that there should be a follow-up, but shopkeeper Liao looked at Zhang Tingyu, opened his mouth, but closed it tightly at the end, and said: "Second Master Zhang, I'm afraid it's better not to know, alas, I'll be alone. "

Judging by the shopkeeper's behavior, I probably don't want to talk about it.

Zhang Tingyu didn't force it, and bid farewell to Liao Fengyuan with Gu Huaixiu, and then came out.

In the distance, Ade and Qingdai were standing next to the carriage, one was sitting on the left side of the shaft, the other was on the right, I was looking around bored.

Gu Huaishu walked there with him, and said: "Is it okay if you don't ask clearly?"

Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "The shopkeeper Liao said half of what he said, and it may not be a simple matter. If you can't tell me, it means that you have a little relationship with me. Do you know how to collect the money for crossing the river?"

Gu Huaishu didn't understand, she shook her head.

Zhang Tingyu walked to the side of the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Ade stood on the ground at once, bowed and called "Second Master and Second Young Mistress", Qing Dai also got up.

Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaixiu got into the car directly, and it seems that there is no need to continue to stroll down there. The two of them got into the car, and Gu Huaixiu asked him, "How do you take it?"

Zhang Tingyu put his hands on his knees and tapped his knuckles gently, "The Grand Canal is divided into sections from south to north. Sometimes it is high in the south and low in the north, and sometimes it is high in the west and low in the east. The direction of water flow is not consistent. The important thing is Merchant ships passing by can only adjust the water depth of each section of the river through the gates. This river is prospered because of water transport. In addition to transporting grain, it is now frequented by merchant ships. Therefore, every time a gate is passed, there is a river yamen to collect toll money , crossing the Grand Canal, it is called crossing the river money."

This gate adjusts the water depth and is only used in some special river sections, and more often these gates are only used to control floods.

The matter of the river work is quite ingenious, and Kangxi has always attached great importance to it. During several southern tours, he always put the river work first.

But the money for crossing the river is beyond the emperor's control.

Every river governor has to collect money when he takes office. This river governor is named Jin Fu, and he is a minister capable of managing rivers. But why did shopkeeper Liao say that the river money is three times the value of the tea itself?
The river crossing fee is collected every year, and all business travelers are used to it, but this year's business is difficult, and there is no guarantee that something went wrong on the canal.

But what does this matter have to do with Zhang Tingyu?
Even if shopkeeper Liao told Zhang Tingyu about it, it might not have any effect, but he stopped talking halfway.

Zhang Tingyu suddenly became more subtle: "This Liao Fengyuan is a shrewd person, if he didn't realize that he shouldn't have told me halfway through, then he deliberately said halfway, but didn't finish, and led me to investigate."

Gu Huaixiu raised his sleeve to cover his lips, but snickered: "It seems that you, Mr. Zhang, still have some use value, and you can be favored by shopkeeper Liao. At least you are a capable person, but I don't know what you are going to do now Woolen cloth?"

"Shopkeeper Liao has known me for many years, and he won't cheat me. This matter must be of great importance... Jin Fu, after Wang Xinming's death? He replaced him... I don't know what happened to this one ..."

Zhang Tingyu thought about it, but he didn't understand the key to it.

Gu Huaishu's eyelids twitched suddenly, Wang Xinming?
She trembled her fingers and almost stopped breathing.

Wang Xinming bribed the prince and wanted to report to the prince that the fourth elder brother had a different heart. As a result, the jade ring fell into Gu Yaofang's hands for no reason, which triggered Gu Huaishu's forbearance for two years.Wang Xinming's plan failed, thinking that he had been exposed, he didn't dare to continue talking about the fourth elder brother in front of the prince.But after Gu Huaishu returned the note hidden inside the jadeite finger to Yinzhen, Wang Xinming died strangely in prison.

This man is Hechen, who also served as the governor of the river. The money he bribed the prince was for Mozhi Heyin, but there may not be no river crossing money collected privately from the lower levels.

How did Wang Xinming die, Gu Huaishu knew in his heart.

The fourth elder brother is ruthless, what is it to kill a Wang Xinming?
On the surface, it can be said that it was a cover-up for the prince. I am afraid that the prince, who does not know the truth, will trust his fourth brother even more after this incident.

Everything about the royal family is so ambiguous.

If Prince Yinreng simply regarded the fourth elder brother as a dog around him, needless to say, he would be skinned and boned by the fourth elder brother within two years.

For Gu Huaishu, it was all a battle between big shots, and her life should have calmed down after she handed over the jade wrench.

But she didn't expect to hear the words "Wang Xinming" from Zhang Tingyu's mouth.

Jin Fu is an upright person, a famous official of a generation who governs rivers, who dared to challenge the emperor. Later, when Wang Xinming's incident happened, even if Lord Kangxi hated this person's lack of vigilance in his heart, he could only be called Jin Fu?Go up and clean up the mess in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Xinming just had an accident, and now the money for crossing the Grand Canal has been overturned for no reason. If it is pursued, Jin Fu will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility.

The imperial court allocates a lot of Zhihe Bank every year, but the risk of corruption is too great, and if you are not careful, you will die like Wang Xinming.

Only the money for crossing the river is the default gray income on the river, just like the iced charcoal and silver in the salt tea ceremony.

I'm afraid someone made a big fuss about the word "crossing the river" and made a lot of money.

Zhang Tingyu was just talking casually at first, but when he turned around, he saw that Gu Huaishu was distracted, and suddenly found it interesting.

"What did you think of again?"

Gu Huaixiu said that this matter might be a bit tricky, so he said: "If I remember correctly, at the time when King Hechen was appointed to govern the river, he was not effective in governing the river, and he was greedy for ink and governed Heyin. Into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Zhang Tingyu nodded, but did not answer.

Gu Huaixiu said again: "I heard that Jin Fu is a hard-headed person who doesn't care about oil and salt. After taking over this position, he may not be at the mercy of the people behind Wang Xinming. He refuses to do things or accept money, so..."

This inference can be called reasonable.

It's just that my wife knows too much.

Zhang Tingyu knew about the emerald ring finger, but he didn't know the role of the fourth elder brother in it. He only thought that the fourth elder brother was helping the prince.

So Zhang Tingyu really didn't think much about Wang Xinming.

Wang Xin's life is gone, who will send money to the prince?

Jin Fu, who was in charge of the river, would not give it to him, so he would naturally find someone below him or someone on the same level as Jin Fu to collect it. It was considered appropriate to collect it as usual, but now it has tripled. If things get serious, the only bad luck is Jin Fu is in charge of everything.

This Jin Fu...

At the beginning, I was afraid that Zhang Ying was the one who replaced Wang Xinming.

A series of pull down, the problem can be big.

He glanced at Gu Huaixiu, and only praised her: "You think far and wide, you are not as good as your husband..."

"You'll be talkative." Gu Huaishu could only analyze it. The most important thing was that she hadn't figured out who did it.

If the prince did something wrong, then the fourth elder brother should be an accomplice; if the fourth elder brother did something wrong... that would be interesting, I don't know who the fourth elder brother dug this hole for.

On the surface, Zhang Ying is the prince's teacher, so it's no wonder that shopkeeper Liao hesitated in front of Zhang Tingyu.

It is also possible that shopkeeper Liao wants to use Zhang Tingyu to see if there is a way to solve this matter.

He deliberately said half and left half, in order to leave room.Zhang Tingyu guessed that the matter was settled, it was the treasurer Liao who accepted Zhang Tingyu's favor; if Zhang Tingyu was helpless, he could just pretend that he didn't understand and didn't care about this matter at all, and everyone could continue to drink tea and talk about it without embarrassment , or friends.

The person who said shopkeeper Liao is a calculating person is really true, and he has covered everything.

After analyzing the matter in this way, Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu stopped walking in the street and went back to Zhang's residence directly.

As soon as the two of them passed the second gate, Zhang Tingyu stopped in his tracks. He looked at Zhang Tingzan's room and hesitated.

Gu Huaishu gave him a push: "Anyway, it's related to our family, you should hurry up. Even if it involves your elder brother, it's not good."

Zhang Tingyu sighed, stroked her beautiful hair, and said: "Brother should have come back from Zhan Shi's mansion by now, I'll discuss it with him first, and then make a decision. Qingdai, send Second Young Mistress home first."

Qing Dai leaned over: "Qing Dai heard it."

Gu Huaishu laughed, and only watched Zhang Tingyu turn around and go down the steps, turned around the corner of the corridor, and headed towards the big room, and then she turned back.

As soon as I returned, I heard a surprising thing.

"What?" Gu Huaishu was a little surprised.

Duo Fu said: "Today, the Second Young Mistress went out for a spring outing, so all the affairs in the house have been put on hold for the time being. Everyone knows the little things by heart, so I don't bother you much. It's just that the Third Young Mistress has a lot of things related to the birthday banquet." I want to ask you for instructions. I originally came here a few times this morning to ask questions, but I didn’t expect that no one would be there after asking twice. I heard from the woman in the front yard that the third young lady asked the old lady for a special license. Anyone in the house who has a birthday banquet Leave everything to the third young lady. The old lady said, you don't have to interfere. "

Gu Huaixiu suddenly laughed out loud and almost slapped the table, not out of anger, but clearly out of joy.

"Okay, I finally got rid of this mess. Even if she broke the sky this time, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Huaixiu suddenly felt that Zhang Erye had heard about the fact that he cheated on the third young lady, so he picked today to take him out when Xiao Chen was organizing a birthday banquet.

Little Chen was so busy that everything had to go through Gu Huaishu's hands. Now that Gu Huaishu was gone, this was forcing little Chen to find Wu.

It just so happens that Mrs. Chen has ambitions, and Mrs. Wu is willing to fulfill Mrs. Chen's ambition.

The two sides can really say that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, let alone a tacit understanding.

It's just consequences...

That is, Gu Huaishu didn't know about it at all. No matter what happened in the future, she never interfered in this matter. If she wanted to investigate any mistakes, she couldn't be traced to her. She wiped herself clean in an instant.

As for Mrs. Chen, it's her credit for getting this matter done, and her ability, if she can't do it well...

Tsk, the crime is serious.

Qing Dai pinched Gu Huaishu's shoulders, and said: "Now the house is under her command for everything, there are not enough red coral ornaments in the storeroom, so I asked people to go out to buy them, and now they are placed in the hall, it is really dazzling... ..."

Gu Huaishu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, stupid, extremely stupid!
There will be a good show tonight. I don't know how Zhang Ying, who is usually a frugal, low-key and honest official, will feel when he sees the rich red coral.

Just thinking about it makes me laugh, Gu Huaishu endured it so hard.

Zhang Tingyu didn't return to Zhang Tingzan's side for a long time, but when it was dark, Zhang Ying finally came back after finishing her various affairs in the Ministry of Rites.

But as soon as he walked in the door, he felt something dangling in front of him.

He thought he had hurt his eyes due to overwork recently, but when he got closer, he saw red coral ornaments one after another in the room, which were so dazzling and gorgeous, it was festive to look at.But Zhang Ying really couldn't bear it!

He is an upright official, a Qingliu who is well-known throughout the court!
Even if the emperor rewards him a lot, he should be careful every day, and he must not let others say that he is extravagant, otherwise, he would be relying on the emperor's favor to do his best.

Therefore, it is not that there is no money in the treasury, but Zhang Ying never uses it.

When it comes to food and clothing, the juniors can be more relaxed, but when it is Zhang Ying's turn, she is so rigorous that it can be called harsh.

This kind of thing can be referenced in several books. One thing more is worse than one thing less. What's more, which emperor in all dynasties is not suspicious?

Zhang Ying never expected that he has been so conscientious and diligent all this time, afraid that he might miss it by mistake?Dai Hetou, now came back to see such a rich and extravagant scene.

He holds his?Dai Hualing stood in the room, stunned for a long time without reacting.

With just a casual sweep, he can see four pots of red coral, and even one is placed on top of the wind bottle, it really scares me to death!

Mrs. Wu knew when he came in. Is Mrs. Wu happy now, or Mrs. Chen will please her? Once these red coral ornaments are placed, the whole room will be rich and bright. She is also a kind of Mrs. Shangshu The scenery is dry.It's a perfect timing to catch up with my birthday again.

Wu thought that Zhang Ying would be happy when she saw her, so she walked out and smiled without looking at Zhang Ying's face, "Do you see how good the third daughter-in-law is? My birthday banquet is still half a month away. I asked people to put a lot of red corals early, saying that it is good luck, and there will be a good omen in the coming year. How good is it to see the red corals?"

it is good?
Zhang Ying was so angry that he couldn't speak, he gritted his teeth and said, "The third daughter-in-law asked you to put it on?"

"No, I like it very much. The Taoist said that it is this thing that is lucky, and you will be promoted in the coming year. My birthday banquet will be a big show."

Wu Shi squinted her eyes with a smile, triumphant.

It is good to have such a daughter-in-law. Who said mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must not get along well?It also depends on the person, the eldest daughter-in-law is sick and useless, and the second daughter-in-law is a femme fatale, but it is ignored. Only the third daughter-in-law was picked up by her, so it is pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Ying walked to the door and listened to the wind bottle, and raised her hand to touch the red coral.

He seemed to ask casually: "I remember that the Long Live Lord only appreciated the red coral ornaments twice, and it was still on the birthday of the Long Live Lord. Where did we get so many ornaments in our mansion?"

Miss Wu didn't feel Zhang Ying's indifference and suppressed anger at all, she pinched the silk handkerchief and sighed: "The third daughter-in-law is caring, and the number of red corals in the treasury is not enough, so I specially asked someone to go It was bought at a high price outside the government."

Purchasing, but also high price?

Zhang Ying stretched out her hand to pick up the red coral, and said, "It's a good thing."

Just as Wu wanted to take a bite, she also agreed, "Of course it's a good thing", when she saw Zhang Ying smash the pot of red coral to the ground!

With a crisp sound of "snap", the whole ornament shattered to the ground.

Wu Shi was frightened and screamed once.

Zhang Ying was already trembling with anger, and the previously suppressed anger finally broke out.

There are a lot of things going on in the imperial court. I thought Wu Shi was stupid because she was stupid, but she should be able to understand these big issues. Who would have thought that when the entire imperial court is thoroughly investigating corruption, she would want to throw a birthday banquet!

He, Zhang Ying, walks upright and sits upright, but his mouth makes money!

Even if nothing happens in the end, it will not harm Zhang Ying, so why bother?
Stupid woman, stupid woman!Even more and more stupid...

Zhang Ying was also so angry that she lost her temper. Seeing that Mrs. Wu had shrunk away in fright, she was immediately disheartened.

"Ask someone to clear this red coral out for me quickly. You remember, in our mansion, Hanchen, Qingliu, these rich and precious things should not be placed at home. Your birthday banquet is not a special day, you Have you ever seen me hold a birthday banquet?"

Zhang Ying never held a birthday banquet, right?At most, a few friends get together, and the fear is that you will come and go in the officialdom.

He only said to Mrs. Wu: "Your birthday banquet will be the same as in the past. The more frugal the better. What kind of third daughter-in-law can do things in a nonsensical way. When did you choose a good person? You like her, this matter After the matter is over, it will be done, and it will be enough for the daughter-in-law and the third son. When it comes to the affairs of the house, the eldest daughter-in-law will give it to her when she is healthy, and the second daughter-in-law will take care of it if she is not well."

How could Mrs. Wu be reconciled, "Hey, master!"

Zhang Ying waved her hand, ignored her, and walked directly into the house.

Anyway, Zhang Ying put a word here, if you can do it, you have to do it, if you can't, you have to do it!
The matter of the upper room was quickly spread, and the treasury was opened and closed at night, and there was a lot of movement.

When Gu Huaishu heard that Zhang Ying asked someone to take the red coral back and broke one of them, he laughed so hard that he fell down.

"How is the third young lady?"

"Pfft..." The maids all laughed.

She was so happy that she could barely speak, she said: "I heard that she is a coward, and usually only pleases the old lady, but where has she ever seen the master get angry? She has not seen her as a daughter-in-law since she entered the door. I was so terrified that I heard the news and sat on the ground in fright!"

When Zhang Tingyu came in, he saw that everyone in the room was about to collapse with laughter, Gu Huaishu had tears in his eyes, and his face was flushed with laughter, he was really happy.

He also heard about it, and thought it was funny: "It's not a big deal, seeing how happy you are."

Gu Huaishu asked the maids to go out. Zhang Tingyu was the only one in the room. When she went up, she put her arms around Zhang Tingyu's neck and hung herself on his body, as if she had no bones. She leaned over and kissed him: "Second master is the best Calculation, you haven't heard of it, I really laughed to death..."

Zhang Tingyu didn't move, the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, Gu Huai's sleeves and temple hair were slightly disheveled, his eyes were full of affection and joy, his lips were slightly parted, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.If his memory is good, his Second Young Mistress took the initiative to kiss him just now.

Gu Huaixiu lowered his eyes, as if he felt that his behavior hanging on him like this was too ambiguous, and coughed lightly: "I haven't passed the meal yet..."

"Beauty is delicious, beauty comes first, why eat those whole grains?"

Zhang Tingyu picked up a strand of her beautiful hair, but his breath was low and his voice was hoarse.

The two of them were face to face, their breaths intersected, and each other's eyes were dark, but they were eager to hide.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the rice is passed on or not, and it goes straight into the embroidery tent, counting the daughters of the bitter spring night.

(End of this chapter)
