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

Chapter 78 Angry You!
If you want to talk about the advantages of Gu Huaixiu in detail, from the perspective of ordinary people, he really only has good looks.

She once called Zhang Tingyu dark-hearted, but she herself is not kind-hearted.

What kind of teapot goes with what kind of teapot? Gu Huaixiu and Zhang Tingyu are both well-versed, and they talk about how black or dark they should be when they do things.

So when he heard that the Ye family girl was suffering from lovesickness, Gu Huaishu immediately understood.

Dare to love her man?
Gu Huaixiu was overjoyed, and she told Zhang Tingyu the good news with a half-smile, and Zhang Tingyu was so surprised that one stroke of the plum blossom was crooked.

"What's wrong with Second Master? I can't even hold the pen steady..."

Gu Huaishu seemed to be gloating over his misfortune, paced aside with his arms folded, and pouted, "Why don't you continue painting?"

Zhang Tingyu saw her expression that was about to come, and knew that today could not be good. He just put down his pen and said: "The others have nothing to do with me. This girl from the Ye family is sick, so don't get on me. .Is it possible that you can still give me a concubine?"

"..."

Gu Huaixiu's eyes suddenly turned subtle, and he smiled on the surface and said: "If the second master thinks that girl is good, I can still pull down my face and say something for you. I am not such a small-bellied person."

In this world, few people tell the truth, Gu Huaishu's words are extremely false.

How can Zhang Tingyu not know what kind of virtue she is, so he curled his lips unhurriedly, playing with a handful of white jade paperweights beside him, "Among the two sons of the Ye family, one is the Juren from the year before last. I'm much better. I, Zhang Tingyu, can't compete with such a family status."

Gu Huaishu said: "This news is only heard by women with sharp ears, but I don't know what it will be like in these ten miles and eight villages. Just wait and see."

This matter is not easy to handle, after all, the two are neighbors, even if the relationship is not good, it can't be too extreme.

And wait.

Waiting and waiting, the news from the Ye family did not come, they only said that it was being cured, whether it can be cured or not is another matter.

But the young master of the Ye family even handed over a post to pay homage to the mansion, saying that he wanted to get acquainted with Zhang Tingyu.

Ye Chaocheng, the eldest son of the Ye family, was the No.3 in the Jiangning Township Examination a few years ago. He has enjoyed a good time in Tongcheng for a while, but he failed to get a Jinshi in 30 years, and he has to wait for the next spring.

But in terms of fame alone, this person is even better than Zhang Tingyu.

There is an unwritten rule in this court, but all candidates of the same class, no matter what their family background is, are all judged by the ranking of Jinshi, and they have to respect those who rank higher than themselves.

So when Young Master Ye came to see him, Zhang Tingyu would welcome him politely.

When Gu Huaishu heard in the room that Mr. Ye had actually come to see him, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

For three or five days in a row, Ye Chaocheng actually came to ask Zhang Tingyu to talk about poetry today, go out for a river cruise together tomorrow, and go out for an outing in groups the day after tomorrow...

Anyway, Young Master Ye can find something to do every day.

Gu Huaishu also met the young master of the Ye family from a distance, he looked like a literati, but his eyes were reserved, showing a cowardly feeling.

As soon as she saw him, she couldn't feel good about this man.

As a result, tonight, Zhang Tingyu finally said something important.

"Today, Ye Chaocheng finally told me something serious."

Zhang Tingyu was lying on the bed, Gu Huaixiu had already taken off his outer clothes, and sat in front of the makeup mirror to take off his jewelry.

Hearing this, she paused, and said: "I knew that family had no good intentions. The weasel paid New Year's greetings to the chicken, so let's see when it will kill your poultry."

She spoke harshly, and Zhang Tingyu sighed: "You must have guessed it."

"Is he telling you about his sister?" Gu Huaishu really wanted to build the wall three feet higher, so that the girl from the Ye family next door couldn't be mad at her.

If you are lovesick, you should be lovesick. It is not wrong to like a man. Although Zhang Tingyu is already a married man, if this girl's lifelong wish is to enter Zhang's family and become a concubine, Gu Huaixiu can only praise her. A sentence "Miss Ye is very ambitious".

It's just that it was rumored that the girl from the Ye family was crazy. I don't know if she was really mentally ill. How could she get into Zhang's family?

What's more, Ye Yuanwai's vision is high.

I don't know what the Ye family next door thinks, let alone how sick Ye Chaocheng's sister is.

Gu Huaixiu himself does not believe in the saying that lovesickness becomes a disease.

Besides, it's only been a few days since Miss Ye's met Zhang Tingyu?
Is this lovesickness?
Nonsence!

This must be amusing me!
Already disgusted by this posturing Ye family, Gu Huaixiu frowned, "Did I mention his sister to you, or did I mention his illness in detail, or is there something more interesting?"

"He mentioned it a bit. He first asked me if I had a younger sister, that is, Wangxian, and then he mentioned his younger sister. He only mentioned that he was sick..."

It's just that when talking, the other party has been watching Zhang Tingyu's face, but Zhang Tingyu is really calm, without showing any trace.

Zhang Tingyu also despised the Ye family's way of doing things. He came directly to what he wanted, tried and tested, not direct at all.

He could see the other party's mind clearly, and he himself thought that his strategy was clever and he did not show any traces.

After all, it's just a group of common eyes.

Gu Huaishou took the comb and gently shaved the ends of her hair, then put it down again, yawned, blew out the candle, and got into the warm blanket.

She said: "It doesn't matter if the Ye family girl is sick or not, I have to block this family first, and I will go to Ye's house tomorrow to have a look."

"To Ye's house?" Zhang Tingyu didn't expect Gu Huaishu to say that.

Gu Huaishu was already sleepy, so he just said: "Sleep."

When he got up the next day, Liao Fengyuan sent someone to deliver the letter, and actions had already begun.

This time things went unbelievably smoothly, it seemed that Shen Yang felt that the matter was profitable, when Wu Sidao said it, Tie Abacus Shen Yang agreed within a few days.

Soon the tea shop will start to increase the price, and even lower the price when the tea is harvested this year, which is more reasonable.

At that time, things will come together from top to bottom, and they will not be able to suppress it. Naturally, some people will be cleaned up.

Zhang Ying was thinking of a way to deal with this matter, if it happened to be a trouble at this time, and he happened to be in charge, it could be said to be a perfect fit, just right.

Gu Huaishu knew the news, but he didn't ask too much about it. Let the men toss about the men's affairs.

Wu Sidao is not easy to get along with, having this well-known Shaoxing master in later generations to help Liao Fengyuan, it is probably really auspicious and a lot of money.

As for her, someone prepared a generous gift early in the morning, as well as some supplements that were sure to be safe, and first handed a greeting card to the Ye family.

This was an unprecedented event. The Zhang and Ye families had no contact with each other. Suddenly, the eldest son of the Ye family came to talk to Zhang Tingyu, and now the second young lady of the Zhang family came to hand over invitations.

It's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year.

There are also gossips, saying that the girl of the Ye family is sick, she will not be sick in the morning, and she will not be sick in the evening, why is she sick when the second son of the Zhang family comes back?
The two families are only separated by a wall. This is a house built in the early years, not so particular, but now the problem is serious.

Reminiscent of the Second Young Mistress who suddenly built the wall three feet higher, people suddenly became curious: Oh, this is tricky!
In a small Tongcheng, everyone has their ears pricked up waiting to hear the news.

The Ye family did not expect that the second young lady of the Zhang family would come to visit.

This time, the Ye family was caught off guard and asked Madam Ye to come out to meet Gu Huaixiu.

Mrs. Ye has a coquettish physique, about [-] years old, and she looks very charming, but Gu Huaixiu sees her eyes dodging, and seems to be a little guilty.

"Second young lady's visit really makes our place flourish."

"Mrs. Ye, you are welcome. Two neighbors, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. My husband and I just came back to live in Tongcheng. It can be said that we are not familiar with the place, and we will have to rely on our neighbors for help in the future."

Gu Huaishu was also very polite when he spoke, but the more polite he was now, the more frightening the big move he was going to make in the face.

Today, she came to Ye's house for a good reason: "Yesterday, my grandfather and his wife's eldest son went out for a spring outing, and heard the eldest son mention your daughter by accident, as if he had suffered some hidden disease. I thought that a man's family is not as careful as a woman's family. Your son You are also on good terms with my husband, I can’t justify it if I don’t come to see it, so I come to bother you, you don’t dislike it, and you are so polite, it makes me feel ashamed.”

Anyway, the eldest son of the Ye family didn't say anything out of the ordinary, he just used words to test Zhang Tingyu, and today Gu Huaixiu pretended he didn't know anything, so he came to see the girl of the Ye family.

She has said everything, can the Ye family not let Gu Huaishu see others?

What's more, I'm afraid the Ye family knows better than herself what the situation of this Ye family girl is.

If you are not interested in this kind of thing, you can just ignore the illness of Miss Ye's family, as there is only one woman in the inner courtyard, and there is no trouble.The relationship between Zhang Ye and his family has been bad for several years, and they suddenly moved around in the past two days, can Gu Huaishou not be suspicious?

If the Ye family is not in the mood, they will not move around.

Now that they have moved their minds, it is even more impossible for them to refuse Gu Huaishu.

No one would have thought of the purpose of Gu Huaishu's visit today.

Pity only pity that the Ye family doesn't know the details of the second young lady of the Zhang family, and the maids who were brought to the south of the Yangtze River by Gu Huaixiu are not talkative. Mrs. De is not worth the "brilliant achievements" she once had.

Perhaps the Ye family thought that Gu Huaixiu was so knowledgeable and reasonable, and thought that things could be done.

Before seeing the girl from the Ye family, Gu Huaishu didn't reveal anything, and calmly chatted with Madam Ye, Mrs. Xu, and casually talked.

Mrs. Ye sighed: "My daughter was born in good health, but her temperament was not very good. She is sixteen years old, and she is in the middle of her youth. In this Tongcheng, youth is also first-class."

The maid next to Gu Huaishu laughed silently when she heard this, Mrs. Ye's words are really not smart at all, as long as the second young lady of Zhang's family is in Tongcheng, who would dare to boast that her own girl is "first-class and first-class", just playing tricks on others.

But Mrs. Ye didn't realize it yet, she was already talking smoothly, and she had already talked along the lines she had planned.

In Mrs. Ye's mouth, Miss Ye Fanghua is really virtuous and virtuous, gentle and dignified, unique in the sky, and unique on the earth.

Gu Huaishu walked and listened all the way, but in just a few steps, he almost dozed off.

Madam Ye can really speak with her mouth.

She led Gu Huaixiu to the inner garden, and met Ye Chaocheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gong, the second son of Ye is still young and has not married yet, and there are only two female relatives in the mansion, Mrs. Ye and her daughter-in-law.

Three women playing a play, chirping for half an hour before Gu Huaishu said that he had brought supplements for Miss Ye and wanted to go and have a look.

Mrs. Ye and her daughter-in-law looked at each other, seemed to feel that there was something going on, so she led Gu Huaishu away.

The houses in the south of the Yangtze River are different from the large houses converted from Beijing courtyard houses, which are all a combination of houses.Mrs. Ye said that Ye Fanghua lived in Liufangzhai and was still recovering from illness.

Gu Huaishu raised his eyes and saw an elegant courtyard. Even though he didn't like the Ye family, he had to admire the delicacy of the Jiangnan style.

"Girl, you should eat something."

"……Ha ha……"

"Girl, you can eat a little, the servant will be punished by the madam again."

"Son..."

"Oh, I'm crazy again..."

Before he got close, he heard voices inside.

Gu Huaixiu thought, the voice that laughed and called "Young Master" just now should be that Miss Ye from before, and this voice is also somewhat familiar, it is the voice heard through the courtyard wall a few days ago.

It's just this dialogue that is a bit intriguing.

Is it really crazy?

Lovesickness usually develops over a long period of time, and you can get lovesickness within three to five days. I don't know whether to say that the second master of her family is too promiscuous, or that the girl from this family is too fragile?

Acacia?Let me make you lovesick enough!
Mrs. Ye seemed to be panicking and stopped the maids inside, "Shuangxi, you still don't serve the young lady? Now the young lady is talking nonsense, telling you not to hurry up, I will peel your skin later!"

After finishing speaking, she turned back to look at Gu Huaixiu, apologetic, and tentative: "They say it's a family scandal, but you should have heard about my girl. Alas, the doctor said that she This is sick..."

Gu Huaishu almost laughed madly in his heart, but he followed her words: "What's the matter, girl? What's wrong? I brought back a lot of medicinal materials from the capital. If there is anything that can help, just ask .”

If there is anything that can help, just ask.

This is a good saying, Mrs. Ye's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so happy that their faces are blooming when they hear Gu Huaishu's words.

Things are actually not that complicated.

The girl from the Ye family was naturally healthy when she was born, but when she was a child, she broke her brain, was spoiled, has an arrogant temperament, and is a little crazy. Everyone in Tongcheng knows about it.

So even though Miss Ye is old, after Jiji, there are not many prominent people to propose marriage.

Anyway, their Ye family is still a prominent family, they look down on ordinary people who come to propose marriage, but if it is not ordinary people, who would look up to their crazy girl?
It just so happened that the second son of the Zhang family came back to live in Tongcheng a few days ago, and they didn't pay attention at first.

It's not a temporary thing for the girl of the Ye family to worry about getting married, just look for it slowly.

No one expected that the matter could be related to Zhang Tingyu.

That day Miss Ye climbed onto the flower stand to pick plum blossoms, but she didn't know what she saw when she went over the wall and fell down.

That night, Ye Fanghua became confused, and only shouted something like "Young Master, Young Master", giggling, and the people in the house were so frightened that they hurried to find a doctor.

In fact, Miss Ye is either crazy or insane.

The Ye family thought back and forth, wasn't it the second son of the Zhang family who came back that day?
I'm afraid Miss Ye climbed the wall that day and saw the second son of the Zhang family, and she fell in love with him immediately.

When she is infatuated, she laughs wildly and foolishly; when she is sober, she washes her face with tears and clamors to marry the second son of the Zhang family, even saying that she can be a concubine.

Ye Yuanwai is just such a jewel in the palm of his eye, it's just that there is something wrong with his brain, and he is making trouble like this when he is about to leave the court, isn't it causing trouble for him?
Originally, he was also thinking about Ye Fanghua, thinking that he must be matched with a good family, but this incident happened for no reason, and someone built a high wall. Isn't this another slap in the face?
Now that the rumors in Tongcheng are not spreading well, and Ye Fanghua has ruined her own reputation, how can she marry?

A long list of questions came one after another, and Ye Yuanwai almost turned his hair gray from worry.

Ye Fanghua shamelessly yelled that he should not marry, or was she crazy.

Yuan Ye had no idea, but Mrs. Ye had already made up her mind. Anyway, this is their daughter, and now she can't marry another family, so she can only fight with her back and try the Zhang family.

Ye Yuanwai originally hated the Zhang family, but his eldest son Ye Chaocheng had a long-term vision.

Zhang Ying became more and more powerful in the imperial court, and he also served as the chief examiner of the provincial examination. If there was such a person to help and establish a relationship with the Zhang family, wouldn't Ye Chaocheng's road to the imperial examination be smooth?

Ye Chaocheng only talked to Ye Yuanwai and convinced him.

Now, Ye Yuanwai could only let out a long sigh, and simply let go of it, letting others torment him.

He wanted to call someone to kill the daughter directly, but he couldn't bear it. After all, he was his own flesh and blood, and Ye Fanghua was quite likable when he was not sick or in trouble.

Now, let's follow her this time.

She was already crazy, so being a concubine is actually nothing... right?

Ye Yuanwai could only comfort himself in this way.

Since the reputation of the girl's family has been ruined, she can only marry that man if she doesn't commit suicide, what else can I do now?What's more, the eldest son has his own plans.

Hence, the incident that Gu Huaishu received all kinds of attention here today happened.

She said in her mouth, "Just speak up if you have something to do", but what she thought in her heart was "You open your mouth, and I will never reach out to help", and she fooled people with inconsistency, and followed him into the room with a virtuous appearance. Ye Fanghua's boudoir.

That day when I "glanced" on the wall, I only saw a rough outline, but today I saw that the person was thinner, with big eyes, and she was still pretty and cute.

However, when the girl saw Gu Huaishu, her eyes flickered.

Gu Huaishu was very thoughtful, and he noticed it right away.

She followed Mrs. Ye approaching calmly, and saw Mrs. Ye enter Ba Bu's bed, coaxing Ye Fanghua wiping her tears.

Ye Fanghua became timid all of a sudden, shrank a lot into the bed, made a fuss for a while, and then called "Mother" vaguely, and started crying again after a while.

So, here comes the main event.

"Mother, Fanghua really likes him...Mother...you can't beat mandarin ducks...My daughter is so miserable, I dare not ask extravagantly...Young Master...Young Master...I just hope that Young Master will look at me more...Mother...You and Daddy do not scold me……"

The words were very confusing, but Gu Huaishu knew how to focus on the key points.

Gu Huaishu chuckled lightly, but said: "Mrs. Ye, I have seen Miss Ye's illness. I have heard some gossip outside these two days, and I came today with some purpose, but I don't know ..."

Mrs. Ye became quiet all of a sudden, only Ye Fanghua huddled under the quilt, staring at Gu Huaixiu with bony eyes, and started crying again after a while.

Mrs. Ye made a blushing look, and finally turned her back, and let the words go: "Since the second young lady has heard it, if I keep secreting it here, it will be inferior. My daughter, that day I glanced at Second Young Master Zhang on the courtyard wall, but fell in love at first sight... She... Well, she fell ill immediately. How thin does this person look? My master and I just pity her for being insane since she was a child , Lele, hehe, I have never been in such a miserable time, for the sake of my daughter, I only want her to be safe, and I don't want anything else..."

To be honest, this Ye Fanghua seems to have lost a lot of weight, so she is not considered weak, but now she is curled up in an indescribably weird way.

Gu Huaixiu only felt that she was pretentious, and thought that even if Zhang Tingyu wanted to take a concubine, she couldn't accept this appearance.

Ye Yuanwai claimed to be a member, but he just donated it himself, which is far from a serious official.So comparing the Ye family with the Zhang family, it is overestimating their capabilities. If Miss Ye really entered the Zhang family, it would still be a compliment to her.

Gu Huaixiu squeezed a silk handkerchief in his hand, and gently pressed his lips. When he lowered his eyes, he could only see a gentle temperament all over his body.

She said slowly: "When something like this happens, you and Ye Yuanwai should be sad. It's me who has never met Miss Ye, and it hurts when I see it. I'm a soft-hearted person. I can't see such a delicate girl suffer."

The more you can't see them suffering, the more you have to work hard to make them suffer more. When they get used to crying, don't they feel no pain?
Gu Huaishu was born with such a strange theory, but others didn't know it, and thought she was really kind-hearted.

Seeing Mrs. Ye listening quietly, Gu Huaishu smiled again, and continued: "I heard that heart disease still needs heart medicine. I came here today with a solution, but I don't know..."

"Second Young Mistress, you can just say it." Mrs. Ye really couldn't wait for what Gu Huaixiu had to say.

Hearing the meaning of Gu Huaishu's words, it's time to offer to welcome Ye Fanghua to the Zhang family, right?

Maybe, for the sake of politeness, I still have to say something like "this method will definitely solve Miss Ye's illness, but it just wronged her a little bit".

Mrs. Ye was ready to answer, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand nervously.

Gu Huaishu took her action into his eyes, but the smile on his lips suddenly widened ironically.

"Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches will come out in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick... Lovesickness naturally needs lovesickness to come to the doctor. There are acacias in the south, the branches, leaves, root bark are very poisonous, and the fruit is even more poisonous. , named 'Acacia Son'."

The words have already started to feel a little bit wrong.

But Mrs. Ye couldn't read a few characters. This poem was very popular. She had heard it, but she didn't understand more.

Acacia is a highly poisonous thing, she only understood this.

Gu Huaixiu took some time off and squeezed his throat: "It is rumored that people who suffer from lovesickness have such a folk prescription: Grind Qiqi 49 acacia seeds into powder and decoct them into medicine. It has miraculous effects. Miss Ye can also follow this prescription. , keep the medicine and decoct it, and it will float like a crane westward, become a fairy, and relieve the pain of lovesickness. From then on, there will be no worries in bliss!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Huaishu flicked his sleeves, turned around gracefully, and walked back holding Qing Dai's hand.

Mrs. Ye recalled, she never expected that the gap between Gu Huaishu's words before and after was so shocking, she just stared in fright, and was so angry that she wanted to swear, but she didn't bring it up in one breath, and she fainted from the anger.

All of a sudden, the Ye family was in a panic.

When Gu Huaishu left Ye's house, Qing Dai turned around and spat: "The whole family is a bitch!"
