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

Chapter 82 Koi Pond

Seeing that Liao Fengyuan was about to introduce the two of them, Zhang Tingyu cut him off: "Next Zhang Er, Chairman Shen, I have long admired you."

Gu Huaishu almost stepped on the corner of his skirt and fell down.

Although Zhang Tingyu's self-reported family name is correct, isn't it too brief?
Liao Fengyuan looked at Zhang Tingyu with some doubts, as if he didn't understand what he was doing,

Zhang Tingyu just felt that Shen Qi was not a good person to get along with, and he didn't want to declare his family completely. One reason was that he didn't want to use Zhang Ying's name to fool around outside, and he didn't want others to make any decisions about him. In addition, he also said that he did not want to have a deep friendship with Shen Chao.

It's nothing to be barefoot in this hall, but it's not so good to step on Gu Huaixiu's dress with bare feet.

He still can't see whether this person is doing it on purpose or not.

That apology was not sincere no matter how you heard it.

The speed of turning his face is comparable to turning the pages of a book, one thing in the front and another thing in the back, it seems that things should be what they should be for him, and they are what they are.This kind of people are like water, but they are not "goodness is like water". Everyone is adaptable, but after all, it is not such a vicious and vicious path.

How can this person be so simple if he can use some tricks to take away the position of president that Liao Fengyuan has painstakingly managed for many years?
Shen Wansan was the second, but he didn't know if it was a waste of fame.

Now Zhang Tingyu only said that it was "Zhang Er", but it was not a lie.

What kind of smart person is Shen Qi?

He glanced at Zhang Tingyu with great interest, then glanced at Gu Huaixiu who was standing behind Zhang Tingyu, making it hard to see, and curled his lips: "Which Zhang is it from?"

The question is which one, and this is to ask Zhang Tingyu to report the family in more detail.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingyu didn't understand at all: "Gong Zhang Zhang."

Shen Qi froze for a moment, but said, "Second Master Zhang really doesn't give face."

He still seemed to be smiling, and stepped lightly on the carpet with his bare feet, but finally said: "Shopkeeper Liao, just now I heard that someone is coming from outside?"

Shopkeeper Liao just found a chance to speak, and now seeing Shen Qi sitting in the middle, he couldn't care less.Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu were invited to sit on the left, but he found a seat on the right closest to Shen Yang, and sighed: "Can you tell me what happened? People outside are going crazy, Let me go and talk to them first, so as not to cause chaos in Jiangning."

After saying this, Liao Fengyuan didn't move, but looked at Shen Qi.

Talking is actually a test, after all, Shen Qi did not appear outside directly, but directly appeared in his garden, it seems that he did not intend to let others know about it.

In the end, what Shen Qi was thinking, no one else knew.

Liao Fengyuan just said that he would do it without haste.

Sure enough, Shen Chao casually said: "Let them be in a hurry for now, just don't let people in."

Shen Qi brought over another bowl of tea on the raised table and held it in his hands, holding the tea bowl with both hands like holding a hand stove.

After all, he seemed to have just crawled out of the water, shivering from the cold.

Holding the tea bowl now, it seems that my heart is not panicked.

Shen Qi was not panicked at all, he explained clearly what he had encountered.

Ignoring whether Zhang Tingyu was an outsider, or whether there was a mentally handicapped woman here, Shen Chao said mockingly: "I came from Yangzhou, and when I was still eight miles away from Jiangning, something was wrong. Come here. A group of boats from the Cao Gang approached me and stopped me, saying they wanted to come up and search, suspecting that I was selling illegal salt... Tsk, can I let them come up?"

Shen Qi has a bad temper, he said no to things.

The other party was also sure of his temper, and even fought a big fight when they disagreed, but the result was that the other party lost.

But after walking a little further, something happened in the cabin.

Someone came out with a knife and killed all the way, even slaughtering a whole boat of people.Shen Qi is still a practicing family boy, so he will not be at a loss. Seeing the people around him die one by one, Shen Qi jumped into the river without thinking. people found out.

The problem that needs to be considered now is about how to deal with these messes.

"The boat of the Cao Gang? How is it possible..."

Liao Fengyuan couldn't believe it, and felt that this incident was too exaggerated.

Zhang Tingyu sat there without moving, and Gu Huaishu just looked at the pattern on the carpet without any reaction.

After Shen Chao finished speaking, he stretched and went to look at Gu Huaishu again.

This time, Liao Fengyuan was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Tingyu looked back at Gu Huaixiu and said nothing, but Gu Huaixiu knew what it meant.

Shen Chao liked to look around when he was talking, he seemed to be very frivolous, Gu Huaishou came to Liao Fengyuan's garden, everyone was familiar with him at first, but when he suddenly saw an outsider, he was completely unexpected.

I thought I was sitting when I was sitting, but I didn't expect this person's eyes and actions to be so presumptuous.

She got up with a flick of her sleeves, went out directly from the flower hall, and closed the door again, only then was she out of the sight of others.

As soon as Gu Huaixiu left, Shen Chao's expression of that prodigal son suddenly subsided, and he only chuckled lightly: "What are you listening to, lady...Let's go."

Zhang Tingyu sneered, lowered his eyes, and served the tea without making a sound.

No matter how severe the illness is, now?You can seek skins from tigers, but you can't be friends with them.

As the saying goes, a friend's wife should not be bullied, it seems that Shen Chiu couldn't turn his eyes away when he saw a beauty.

What kind of woman is not here to listen, and he didn't see the slightest fear when he spoke. What kind of method is not good, but to use his eyes?
Zhang Tingyu is not a fool.

The first time they met, Shen Qi had already been blacklisted by him.

Shen Chao himself seemed to know it well, he glanced at Zhang Tingyu and said: "Your Excellency is the second son of Zhang Ying's family, right? If I remember correctly, I heard that shopkeeper Liao met with a noble family when he was in Liulichang, Beijing. If you make friends with the young master, it must be Your Excellency."

Before Zhang Tingyu reported his family name and called himself "Zhang Er", unexpectedly the other party had already guessed his identity.

But even if Zhang Tingyu was found out, he still remained calm, he still only said: "Next to Zhang Er."

Seeing him like this, Shen Qi didn't bother to say anything.

He just said: "Shopkeeper Liao, can you borrow your brains Mr. Wu Sidao?"

"This……"

Liao Fengyuan never expected that Shen Qi would borrow someone when he opened his mouth. Why would he borrow someone?Now that Shen Qi is gone, the countless merchants in Jiangning don't know what the chaos is like. If he doesn't appear in a hurry to stabilize people's hearts, what is he doing?
"Borrowing from shopkeeper Liao is naturally the best. If you don't borrow..."

Shen Qi frowned, as if hesitating, but the next sentence changed the subject and said: "If you don't borrow it, you have to borrow it."

Liao Fengyuan almost choked himself to death in one breath, pointed at Shen Chao, and was unable to speak for a long time.

borrow?
Of course I can only borrow it.

It's just, "I don't know what Chairman Shen's plan is? It's a mess outside now."

Liao Fengyuan was really worried. Originally, the situation in Jiangning had stabilized. All walks of life had their own leaders, and the scope had been delineated. Now that Shen Qi came, it would almost immediately turn into a "troubled world" .

Zhang Tingyu only felt that this person had a deep scheming heart. If he didn't know who was behind him, then "I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark" is undoubtedly very dangerous. Anyway, those people have already assassinated Shen Chao, and now Shen Chao It's not a big deal to pretend you're missing.

The most important thing is that once Shen Qi starts to disappear, and if he doesn't leak the news, it will soon turn from light to darkness.At that time, it will become the two sides in the dark.

However, doing so is risky.

If there is any problem at this time, those subordinates of Shen Chao are unreliable, and Shen Chao will be evacuated in a few days.

The situation is changing rapidly, and you must have the skills to make such a decision.

Therefore, Zhang Tingyu has already found the qualitative words in an instant: conceited, lustful, cunning, and cunning.

Thinking about it, he didn't have a good word, it seems...he didn't have a good impression of Shen Chao...

In the flower hall, several people were talking about things unhurriedly, and Gu Huaishu had been walking out for a while.

There were only three maidservants and Qing Dai brought along, Ade was a little strange when he saw Gu Huaishu coming out: "Second Young Madam?"

Gu Huaishu said: "Master is still inside, you can wait here with someone, I'll ask the maid here to take me out for a stroll."

Outside the flower hall, there were a few maidservants wearing spring onion sleeves and green sleeves standing far away. Gu Huaishou randomly ordered one over and asked her to lead him in the garden.

Jiangning is a scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. The gardens have absorbed the exquisiteness of Suzhou gardens, and Gu Huaixiu's eyes have been opened when he came here.

Changing scenery step by step, without repeating samples, stopping at any place to see, it is all scenery.

Coming out of the moon gate on the side of the corridor, you will go to the corridor, winding and winding, with overlapping rockery on both sides, and lotus flowers are blooming on the small lake in the garden, a few lotus leaves are floating on the water, and golden fish are swimming at the bottom of the water , Feeling that someone is coming on the corridor, but not afraid.

Seeing Gu Huaixiu staring at the fish at the bottom, the maid named Shui Hong was quite clever, and she took the initiative to say: "The carp down here are the fry that were planted during the renovation of the garden the year before last. There are usually many guests here, so it's okay to see people." Don’t be afraid. If you want to feed the fish, this servant will bring you fish food.”

Gu Huaishu leaned over to the corridor, and the koi poked their heads out one after another, they were so cute.

She has also been around outside for a while, just sitting on the porch, asking the maid to fetch fish food.

Slightly adjusting the cloth on his knees, Gu Huaixiu looked at Duoxi Duofu who followed this time, and said: "You two go out of this garden, and go to Ade's side and ask someone to bring you Now, let’s tidy up the other courtyard we bought in Jiangning first, visiting here as a guest is only a temporary thing, and we will go back to live when we come back.”

Duofu Duoxi bowed and said yes, then walked outside.

Gu Huaishu is sitting here, only Qingdai is beside him.

She put one hand on the railing of the porch, yawned lazily, and then suddenly remembered: "You will faint after shaking on the boat for a while, you chase two steps forward, tell Duofu Duofu, next to the second master's Next door to the study, set up another shelf for me."

Qing Dai nodded with a smile, "Then don't leave here, the servant will come back immediately."

Gu Huaishu smiled and nodded, seeing Qingdai gone, she stretched her waist, put her hands on the fence, and went to tease the koi below.

"Second Young Mistress, Yu Shier..."

A voice suddenly came from behind, Gu Huaishu heard it was the maid from before.

One hand had already reached to Gu Huaixiu's left hand side, she didn't care, with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand to pick up the small plate of fish food, and said: "Please run for a while—"

Stopped abruptly.

Gu Huaishu had already caught the small blue and white dish, and inside was a piece of golden fish food.

But the hand that handed over the plate was not the hand of the daughter's family, with a bit of coldness and rigidity.

Following this hand and raising his eyes, it turned out that Shen Chao, who had changed into a peacock blue robe, was holding the fish food and handing it to her.

Gu Huaishu was so frightened that he withdrew his hands and took three steps back, leaving only Shen Qi standing in place holding the small dish and stretching out his hand.

Wasn't this person still talking about things in the flower hall just now?Why are you out now...

Why does anyone come in this garden?
Gu Huaishu was extremely annoyed, she frowned tightly and looked at him warily.

The maid Shui Hong who called out to Gu Huaishu just now was also completely stunned.

Originally, she went to get fish food for Mrs. Zhang Er, but just as she came over and called out to Gu Huaishu, she saw Master Shen here, and directly grabbed the small plate from her hand and handed it to Gu Huaishu.

Shui Hong was so frightened that her little face changed color. This lady is Boss Liao's distinguished guest. Why does Master Shen...

Shen Qi took his time and looked slow.

"Didn't Madam want fish food?"

Gu Huaishu didn't want to talk to this person at all, even calling him self-respect was humiliating himself.

It was basically a mess in the Fengyue court, Gu Huaishu looked back and saw that Qingdai was coming, she just sneered: "Why is Shen Wansan second, I am afraid that he will end up with Shen Wansan."

Shen Wansan, a wealthy man in the Ming Dynasty, ended up badly because he was so rich that he could rival the country.

This Shen Chao dares to call Shen Wansan the second, who knows what will happen?

Gu Huaixiu's words are clearly sarcastic.

When Shen Qi heard this, he just narrowed his eyes, neither in a hurry nor in annoyance, he gently put the dish containing the fish food back into Shui Hong's hand, and brushed a strand of hair beside Shui Hong's cheek, unexpectedly in Gu Shuihong's hands. Before the man with the sleeves had time to walk away, he kissed Shui Hong's face.

The flushed face was the same as her name, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she shouted in embarrassment and shyness: "Master Shen..."

Shen Qi squinted at Gu Huaixiu, his eyes were full of playfulness.

When I was talking in the flower hall today, I was choked up by that Zhang Er. Mr. Wu, the think tank he had a crush on, admired Zhang Er very much.Shen Chao is a villain, he felt uncomfortable, so he naturally wanted to find some way to take revenge...

But Gu Huaishu didn't know, even if he knew, he could only scold him for asking for trouble.

Seeing Shen Qi molesting the maids in Liao Fengyuan's garden, her face didn't change at all, she turned around to greet Qing Dai and was ready to leave.

But at this moment, there was a commotion in the garden outside, someone came from the corner door, and he shouted to break in.

This garden is very large, but this fish pond is relatively small, and it is close to the corner gate. Standing at the gate and looking this way, you can see a few people standing here.Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could at least know his approximate stature.

"Now that Lord Shen is gone, won't your Boss Liao talk about it?"

"Everyone is in a hurry, but he shuts the door and sees no visitors. What's the point?!"

"Damn, you still dare to be my way!"

"Come on, knock the door open for me, I want to see what Liao Fengyuan's idea is!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang on the door.

At the same time, Gu Huaishu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

She didn't expect at all that at such a critical moment, Shen Qi would turn over directly and plunge into the fish pond, splashing a large splash of water and making no sound.

Then, the door was also knocked open, and many merchants wearing silk and satin poured in from outside.

People made noise outside the door for a while, and when they walked to the garden path and could see the blurred shadow on the covered bridge of the fish pond, the water in the pond had almost calmed down.

Gu Huaixiu really didn't expect Shen Chao to be so open-minded.

but……

Isn't now a good time to add insult to injury?

It's not that she wants to punish him, but... No, it's just him!

Gu Huaishu glanced at the stunned Shui Hong, and stretched out his hand to her, asking her to pass the fish food to him.

Then, Gu Huaishu stretched out his hand, flipped it lightly, and poured all the fish food in the dish into the water, so all the koi in the pond crowded up, watching the whole pond become colorful.

Originally, there were merchants who saw the water waves in the pond too big, and there were some strange merchants, but when they saw the koi, they couldn't help sighing: "It's really a good carp..."

They broke in from behind, and now they were going to find Liao Fengyuan.

There was still a plate left in Gu Huaishu's hand, and she held a grudge in her heart. A person like Shen Chao was frighteningly frivolous, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't come back with revenge.

Thinking about it, Gu Huaishu directly threw the small blue and white plate in his hand into the water: "It deserves it!"

With a "plop", the small blue and white saucer plunged into the water, walked in for a while, and then sank slowly.

Looking at the surface of the water covered with koi carps, and thinking about Shen Chi who was still under the group of fish, Gu Huaishu clapped his hands and said leisurely: "Qing Dai, let's go."

Qing Dai thought about it back and forth, she probably knew what was going on, she just pursed her lips and let out a snigger, and followed Gu Huaishu.

Gu Huaishu didn't bother to think about anything else, so he went out directly from Liao Fengyuan's sunflower garden, and wanted to go back to his other courtyard.

When he asked where Zhang Tingyu had gone, he realized that Zhang Tingyu and Liao Fengyuan had gone ahead to look at the corpses dug out of the river.

Gu Huaixiu let out a long sigh, asked someone to leave a message for Zhang Tingyu, and left by himself.

On the fish pond side, after about half an hour, when everyone had left, Shen Qi emerged from the water and took a few breaths.

He even bit a koi on his clothes, but as soon as he came out of the water, the koi slipped down.

Shen Qi held the small blue and white saucer in his left hand, and in his right hand unexpectedly caught a rich and honored koi with red and black patterns.

He looked at the position of the round door on the corridor from a distance, and Gu Huaishu had disappeared.

Looking away, looking at the koi that was still struggling in his hand, Shen Qi said to it: "Other people's things are always the best, have you seen it? Other people's daughter-in-law is really... Master talking to you!"

The koi was still struggling in his hands.

Shen Yang stared at the koi for a long time: Alright, I'll eat you tonight!
Shen Qi was so depressed that Zhang Er's mother-in-law dared to pour fish food into him while he was hiding in the water, it made her feel sick just thinking about it.Shen Yang chose a secret path full of bad luck, went back to the house that Liao Fengyuan arranged for him, and changed his clothes.

But he said that Gu Huaishu went to another courtyard and waited in the house until it was dark before seeing Zhang Tingyu come back.

Zhang Tingyu saw that her face was not good, so she didn't ask, but frowned, as if she had encountered something difficult to understand.

It was Gu Huaishu's turn to be puzzled: "Didn't you follow someone to see the corpse? What's wrong?"

I went to see it, but I also found some problems.

"I'm not sure, so I didn't tell shopkeeper Liao about this..." Zhang Tingyu took two steps in the room, and fiddled with a pot of bluegrass placed on the half-person-high mahogany round flower table, but slowly He said slowly, "I suspect that the people who died on the boat were not Shen Chi's attendants, but the people who were going to kill him. He had never been on a boat from the beginning to the end."
