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

Chapter 71

After all, Xiao Chen is still young and has little knowledge. Calculating her is as simple as eating and drinking.

The only thing she is thinking about now is Zhang Tingyu's imperial examination.

In the end, Zhang Ergong went to Jiangning to catch the exam, should he go with him, or not?

What Zhang Tingyu said yesterday about "going to Jiangnan", it is undeniable that Gu Huaishu was a little moved.

The capital city is very nice and prosperous, but this big family...

Although Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Chen are stupid, they always feel bad when they see them. The others are all fine, and they were not unbearable in the past, but ever since the day when the third master got married, something happened to Gu Huaixiu. I feel a little bored staying in the mansion.

Zhang Tingyu knew about this, and he must have done Zhang Tinglu's face injury, but he didn't say anything afterwards.

He seemed to know something, but he was too lazy to explain it to Gu Huaixiu, and Gu Huaixiu didn't ask at all. The two of them had a very good understanding on this matter.

Now Mrs. Chen messed up the matter and won the favor of Mrs. Wu, but directly offended her father-in-law Zhang Ying, and there will be no troubles in the future.

Gu Huaishu pinched his own sleeves, put his hands on the window lattice, and looked at a peach blossom slanting over outside the window.

She suddenly said: "Right now, the pear blossoms in Master Mingzhu's residence should all be in bloom, and you will be able to eat pears in a few months..."

I just couldn't find anything to do, so I watched it here.

Gu Huaixiu asked casually: "What are you doing, Third Young Mistress?"

"Back to the Second Young Mistress, the Third Young Mistress went to the kitchen today and said that since it can't be done in a big way, the food on the table should always be the best. The servants are thinking, little master Shi Fang may be in trouble again." Qing Dai said , then snickered.

Earlier, Mrs. Chen was sent home by Mrs. Chen because she used Gu Huaixiu's cook for no reason. Gu Huaixiu also guessed that Mrs. Chen might have some obsession with her cook.

But leaving Xiao Chen alone can't make any troubles, it's just like watching a jumping clown.

Gu Huaishu didn't respond at all, and just said: "It's okay to let Xiao Shifang cook, but I heard that the third young lady has an idea? I'm going to offer a dish to the room, what am I still thinking about... "

Asking Xiao Shifang to bother to cook a dish for Mrs. Wu, Gu Huaishu still really hurts.

Sometimes, you can't give people a good face.

Gu Huaixiu's heart is not in the capital now, he only looks forward to going to the south of the Yangtze River to have a look. If he is with Zhang Tingyu, he will be very comfortable.

After all, the famous mountains and great rivers are more attractive to her.

Still thinking about how to go, and Zhang Tingyu went to Zhang Tingzan yesterday, and what was the result...

Before everything could be figured out, Xiao Chen's mess happened again.

Gu Huaixiu thought, this person is a troublemaker at all, and he can't stay idle.

Ask directly: "What did she do in the kitchen?"

"Slave maid... It's hard to say, she got close to Master Shifang for a while, and asked Master Shifang what kind of dishes he wanted for the old lady. Master Xiaoshifang hasn't got it yet, so be sure, don't dare to say anything, just say not yet I know whether you let me do it or not. What kind of expression does the third young mistress have? The servants disappeared and seemed to have left angrily."

Asking what Xiao Shifang is going to do for no reason?
Gu Huaishu thought it was a bit interesting, and she didn't mind tricking this one again.

Hooking his fingers, Gu Huaixiu said directly: "Duo Huan is here, you can tell Xiao Shifang directly that the dishes can be cooked, but if you want to do it, make the best ones. Make boiled cabbage, and then ask him to tell the third young lady, except for the method. Tell her everything, if he can mislead you, it is his ability. I want to see what this person is thinking..."

Boiled cabbage is still the dish that Gu Huaixiu told Xiao Shifang, the recipe is actually very simple, it just needs patience.

When most people hear the word boiled cabbage, they probably retreat by themselves. I don't know what Xiao Chen's reaction is.

Gu Huaishu was waiting to see a good show, but Shi Shiran went to Chen's place to visit.

Mrs. Chen was building flowers and plants in the yard. Zhang Tingzan was not there. She walked around the yard alone when she was free, and she didn't go far. It was a walk.

As soon as Gu Huaixiu entered the round door, she saw it, and quickly passed the scissors in her hand to the servant girl, and came up to greet Gu Huaixiu.

After some exchanges between the two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Chen said, "You are a nobleman visiting today. I wonder if there is something important?"

Gu Huaixiu said: "It's just a little boring, just have nothing to do, come out for a walk, if you don't come out, your bones will be broken."

She smiled and talked, but walked in the garden with Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen planted a lot of flowers, but her health was not good a few months ago and she didn't have time to take care of them. After a winter of conditioning, she finally got better.Zhang Tingzan asked someone to prepare all the flower seeds and seedlings for Mrs. Chen. She buried these flower seeds in the soil in the early spring of this year and put the flower seedlings down.

Now I just look at the garden full of vitality and the fragrance of flowers, which makes me feel happy.

Chen didn't want to worry about how little Chen was tossing about.

She has nothing to worry about now, and Zhang Tingzan has also hinted at her that Mrs. Chen is not likely to be useful. Anyway, if anything happens in this family, it is not up to her to deal with it, let alone affect her.

Therefore, Chen also let go.

Mrs. Chen was happy to toss about herself, whether she was dead or alive had nothing to do with Mrs. Chen.

Because of the absence of Xiao Chen's relationship, Chen's attitude towards Gu Huaishu is much more normal. It must have been complicated in the past, but now it's easy to let go.

"You are a rare guest, and I am still thinking about how to entertain you. The old lady's birthday banquet is coming soon. Why do you ask the daughter-in-law below to prepare a dish, and the ordinary aunts in the house have to prepare something? I think Aunt Feng's stomach is getting bigger, I'm afraid she can't afford it."

Mrs. Chen talked about Aunt Feng's matter calmly, as if the matter of being vomited blood by this woman was long gone.

As the first wife, a good wife and loving mother, she easily accepted the existence of her aunt, and even accepted the existence of the child in her belly.

Gu Huaishu unexpectedly felt a kind of sadness, it was obviously not so thrilling last year.

Aunt Feng is now five months pregnant, and she will give birth to the first third-generation child in this mansion in August and September this year, and Zhang Tingzan can be regarded as having a child.

However, I really don't know what will happen to Aunt Feng after giving birth to her child.

Gu Huaixiu didn't go any further, just said: "But the third young mistress has already said that everyone must prepare, if Aunt Feng doesn't prepare..."

"Where can I get her to prepare? It's fine if I come to prepare for her... I just hope that you don't expose it when the time comes, so that the old lady will not be unhappy. It is rare to have such a happy event in the mansion. It's time for Aunt Feng to give birth in a month."

There was even a smile on Chen's face, as if she thought it was a great thing for Aunt Feng to give birth to a child.

As she said that, Chen suddenly stopped in her tracks, waved her hand to make the servant girl go a little further, and took Gu Huaishu's hand, "Siblings have also entered the house for a long time, although they are young, it is a good time to give birth, you and Heng minister……"

This is to ask about Gu Huaixiu and Zhang Tingyu. The matter in the bed curtain is naturally fine for the husband and wife, but Gu Huaixiu has always felt that it would be strange if there was news in his stomach.

Firstly, she herself didn't expect to have a child so early, her body couldn't bear it, she was too young; secondly, she herself didn't have any, Zhang Tingyu was not in a hurry, and Gu Huaixiu was not in a hurry, the two of them never talked about this topic.

The talk on the bed is all romantic...

Thinking of it, Gu Huaixiu's face turned red.

But to Chen, it is impossible to tell the truth, she just said: "I heard that things like children are based on fate, and those who force them are not my own, and they are not caring when they are born."

Just talking nonsense.

Gu Huaixiu can also scare Mrs. Chen.

On the issue of having a baby, Gu Huaishu still wanted to let nature take its course.

Originally, she had a good impression of Mrs. Chen, especially after what happened in the past year, but now it seems that she can tolerate Aunt Feng and the child in Aunt Feng's stomach, and it doesn't seem like she knows her limit The feeling of coming.

She was much more relaxed than Gu Huaixiu, because Gu Huaixiu said, "You can take a concubine if you want", but Zhang Tingyu is really going out to take a concubine, and she doesn't care whether she likes this man or not, so she turns around and packs up her things. After receiving the dowry, I traveled around the famous mountains and rivers.

If you are ruthless, I will rest, there is nothing I can't let go of.

There is an essential difference between Gu Huaishu and Chen's.

Some people can't bear it at first, but they can bear it slowly, and even slowly compromise and tolerate, such as Chen's; but some people seem to be able to bear it, but in fact they can't bear a word, let alone How can a person sleep soundly on the side of the couch?Gu Huaishu's things are not something that others can touch. She will never tolerate, never tolerate, and never compromise.

He looks gentle and gentle on the outside, but he has a stubborn temper on the inside, and even nine cows can't be pulled back.

So now that Mrs. Chen suddenly mentioned the issue of offspring, Gu Huaishu inevitably had some resistance.

This is normal, but Mrs. Chen didn't notice it at all. She said earnestly: "A woman still has to rely on her son after all. If you can give birth to a man, who can shake your position in the future? After all, marry and obey your husband, From now on, the husband will die and the son will obey the son. If you have no news for a long time, the mother-in-law will probably intervene."

Ask?

Said that Mrs. Wu would intervene in Zhang Tingyu's affairs?

Gu Huaishu never felt it.

She shook her head, somewhat disbelieving.

Mrs. Chen smiled: "I know you don't believe it, but because of the rules of the whole family, as a mother-in-law, she will beat you after seeing you have no children for a long time. Instead of letting her come, you should block her first." mouth."

Gu Huaixiu didn't take it seriously: "Sister-in-law, a woman has a child and is pregnant for ten months. Isn't it necessary to arrange a housemaid during this period? Yes, it's no different from not having one."

"..." Mrs. Chen didn't expect Gu Huaishu to say this.

What she said to Gu Huaixiu didn't seem to fit together.

Gu Huaishu seemed to place more emphasis on aunts and maids, but Chen was talking about heirs.

She patted Gu Huaixiu's hand and said, "Don't care what you think, it's true that you had a child earlier, you should take care of your body so that you don't get in a hurry..."

No matter what, it was all kindness, and Gu Huaishu couldn't refuse.

She nodded: "I remember, look for someone to look back."

Saying this on the mouth, but what I think in my heart is not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

I'm only seventeen, so having a baby so early is almost fatal.

Gu Huaixiu felt dizzy. She was walking around the garden with Mrs. Chen when someone outside suddenly communicated: "The third master and the fourth master are here."

Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu?
Gu Huaixiu was stunned for a moment, and Chen Shi was also stunned.

After all, they were in the garden, so the two brothers over there saw Chen Shi and Gu Huaishu as soon as they came in.

Gu Huaishu took a look at Zhang Tinglu, his eyes were covered with frost and snow, and he frowned, but felt that it was too revealing, so he slowly opened his brows.

Zhang Tinglu didn't expect to see Gu Huaishu here, so he stopped, he couldn't move.

On the contrary, Zhang Tingyu, who came with him, was even smiling, as if he didn't care at all.

What's even more rare is that this child is so heartless that he never sees Gu Huaishu at all.

He wanted to come to Chen's place to beg for a pot of peonies for Wu's birthday banquet, but...

Just jumped two steps forward, Zhang Tingyu was stunned: "Second, second sister-in-law..."

Now Zhang Tingyu still has a psychological shadow on his second sister-in-law. If it weren't for the second sister-in-law, he wouldn't have seen so much.

But because Zhang Tingzan had reprimanded him, Zhang Tingyu understood the truth.Now that he saw Gu Huaishu, he suddenly didn't dare to be presumptuous, stood on the side in a respectful manner, and came up with Zhang Tinglu to shout.

Gu Huaixiu nodded indifferently, "Why should the family be so polite, you must all come to find sister-in-law, right?"

Standing half a step ahead, Mrs. Chen pointed at Zhang Tinglu, then swayed her finger to Zhang Tingyu's body, and then laughed: "I guess it's not the third master looking for me, but the fourth young master looking for me, right? What's the matter?"

Zhang Tingyuan stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, and said: "It will be mother's birthday in half a month, Tingyuan wants to give mother a pot of peonies, but Ting Zan doesn't have any, so I want to have the audacity to ask my sister-in-law for one..."

There are a lot of peonies here in the Chen family, but the flowering period is a bit late, she just said: "The peonies all bloom in April and May, if you take a pot from me, it may not be able to bloom..."

Zhang Tingxuan shook his head quickly: "It doesn't matter, even if it's half-opened or closed, mother will be happy. I asked the third brother, and he said that it's important."

When Gu Huaixiu heard the words, there was a mocking smile on his lips.

She turned her eyes inadvertently, but saw Zhang Tinglu staring at herself intently, she restrained her expression, but didn't want to talk to Zhang Tinglu.

Only then did Zhang Tinglu come to her senses, knowing that she was being rude, she was both disappointed and embarrassed.

Someone outside came to tell Gu Huaixiu that the account book from the warehouse had arrived and asked her to check it, Gu Huaixiu took the opportunity to leave.

Zhang Tingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her go.

He was led to pick peonies in the garden. Zhang Tinglu looked at it for a while with her hands behind her back, but she was still thinking about the amazement she had just glanced at.

Calmly, Zhang Tinglu walked along the courtyard wall, took a shortcut, and cut off Gu Huaishu on the way.

"Second sister-in-law."

Seeing him coming out of the flowers, Gu Huaishu was startled, but she didn't like Zhang Tingyu, the third brother, so she said coldly, "What's the matter with the third brother?"

"..." Zhang Tinglu didn't know what to say. He lowered his eyes, but his eyes were a little black, and said, "That day Tinglu was abrupt, and she still looked at the second sister-in-law... No wonder..."

"Abrupt?" Gu Huaixiu sneered unabashedly, "If everyone is as abrupt as the third master, the world will still be in chaos? Drunk after drinking, it is most difficult to tell the truth from the fake. I just don't know if the third master is here In the dream, I am still in the dream. Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your body, and drinking too much will hurt your life. I am afraid that the third master should be more awake, don't want to harm others or yourself. "

After finishing speaking, she turned around directly, changed a lane, avoided Zhang Tinglu and went back.

On the way, Gu Huaixiu's face turned livid.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to stabilize the suppressed anger in her chest.

"Where's Little Chen?"

This time I was quite rude, and even said it was "Xiao Chen".

Qing Dai heard that Gu Huaixiu was playing riddles with the third master just now, so she didn't dare to make wild guesses, she just said: "I don't know yet, when someone came to interrogate me just now, it seems that I have already arrived at the old lady's place."

Now, she can be happy only when others are unhappy.

Now it is Xiao Chen who is unlucky.

Zhang Ying came back yesterday and scolded Mrs. Wu severely. Although Mrs. Wu still told Mrs. Chen to organize the birthday banquet, she already had a lump in her heart.She wouldn't look for her own faults, she would only think that Mrs. Chen didn't think well, and now she just sat on the kang, she heard that Mrs. Chen came to pay her respects.

Thinking of her enthusiasm for Xiao Chen in the past, Wu couldn't bear to shake her face, so she could only froze and forced a smile.

She had planned well in her heart, but the moment she saw Xiao Chen, she was so angry that her chest was stuffed in her chest.

What Xiao Chen is wearing today is her favorite dress made of Jiangshui blue satin. Isn't this the satin she took away a few days ago?

Wow, you dare to wear it in front of her!
Xiao Chen smiled and bowed forward: "Daughter-in-law pays respects to mother-in-law."

"..."

Mrs. Wu didn't move for a while, she had a cup of tea just poured out by her hand, and she didn't know what kind of new hatred and old hatred were added at that moment, she held the teacup and poured tea all over Xiao Chen's body and face!

"Ah—" Xiao Chen was petrified.

Her face and head, including the newly made clothes, were covered with tea, which was also very hot.The tender skin suddenly turned red in a large area, and the area in the dimple of the neck was even more red.

She looked up at Mrs. Wu in horror, thinking that Mrs. Wu was bewitched, she was fine yesterday, what happened today?

Wu Shi gritted her teeth, thinking about Zhang Ying's reprimand to her yesterday, and saying that she had no vision and narrow vision, and seeing Xiao Chen wearing the Jiangshui blue satin that was snatched by no rules, she was furious.

She said harshly: "Wang Fushun's family, tell the third young lady about the rules in our house."

Wang Fushun's family came up silently and bowed: "Yes, old lady."
