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

Chapter 85
Jinling Lanxuan picked a pot of orchids, Gu Huaishu didn't find it elegant, but Zhang Tingyu liked it very much.He seemed to know the boss of Linglanxuan, they chatted for a while, and then the boss asked for 200 taels of silver.

Gu Huaishu couldn't bear it anymore, and finally dragged Zhang Tingyu away.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, that pot of orchids was different, Gu Huaishu directly pulled him away, what if someone else bought the orchids later?
Gu Huaishu was too lazy to care so much: "There is too much money and no place to burn it. What kind of flowers are placed in the house? It's just that you like that thing, so leave."

Gu San, a layman, never cared about these things.

Zhang Tingyu stood in front of Linglanxuan, shook his head helplessly, and followed Gu Huaishu.

I've only heard that men control women's spending money, but why did they turn back when they came to him?

Seeing that Gu Huaishu was going back into the car, Zhang Tingyu didn't even have the strength to sigh. He stood beside the car shaft: "No more shopping?"

"I want to go out to the theater."

It is said that Yangmasu drama, Gu Huaishu also wants to broaden his horizons.

This request must be considered out of line, but she was so frank that Zhang Tingyu didn't know what to do.

Zhang Tingyu thought for a while, "During the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, there will be opera singers on the river, let's watch it then. The theaters on the bank are places where old men go, or they invite opera troupes back to their homes to sing. Our yard is too small to fit in."

That's right, Gu Huaishu just said it casually.

She lifted the curtain, and was about to go in, but stopped when she got there: "Shall we also go to the lantern festival on the river?"

Zhang Tingyu came up and gave her a hand. The two got into the car and sat down. Then he said: "Go. I have already asked the shopkeeper Liao to borrow a boat. By then, the river will be full of cruise ships, and the big families will go out. of."

"This is an opportunity to open your eyes."

Gu Huaixiu stretched his muscles and bones, already looking forward to something in a few days.

Far away from the capital, it seems to be far away from worries.

Everything that happened back then seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Huaishu.

even……

She didn't have to think about intrigue at all, she traveled here and there with Zhang Tingyu all day long, even if she encountered all kinds of difficult things, the relationship with the two of them was often not very great.

With the mentality of a spectator, the days become slow.

Gu Huaixiu closed his eyelids, "Has De not come back yet?"

"Didn't you ask me to find that little beggar?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't think that Li Wei was a good citizen. Even though he didn't know how he was in the capital in the early years, he dared to rob people in the street and was full of lies, so he knew he was a black heart.

Because he felt that he saw things more clearly, especially the look in his eyes, so he felt that Gu Huaishu shouldn't feel compassion.

Can……

A woman who has always been hard-hearted, was called a godmother for no reason, and even made an exception to save others. Thinking about it, it would be quite interesting.

Zhang Tingyu suddenly said: "Are we going to have a child?"

"..."

Her fingers stiffened for a moment, she turned her head to look at Zhang Tingyu, with a strange silence in her eyes, and said: "Just let nature take its course, if I don't have children, will you divorce me?"

Zhang Tingyu laughed and touched her forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Gu Huaishu patted his hand away, and the corners of his lips were pulled down, with an unhappy expression: "I can't force such a thing as having a baby... Well, can you go to sleep in the study tonight?"

Zhang Tingyu was speechless for a moment, almost dumbfounded.

"My second young mistress, just torment me."

At this time, he really wanted to take apart the little girl in front of him and swallow him.

Zhang Tingyu put his arms around her waist and said: "You can only gain if you work hard. It seems that your second master and I are not working hard enough."

Gu Huaixiu pinched his waist, "Shameless."

The two were laughing and joking, the carriage walked slowly forward, and there was no news from Ade until they got home.

Gu Huaishu didn't expect Ade to bring Li Wei back, she was a little surprised, she poked the blue glazed vase in front with a feather duster, when she saw someone coming in, she couldn't control the strength of her hand, and almost fell The vase was poked down.

"Why did you bring him back? Where's the jade pendant?"

She asked Ade not to rescue the kid, but just for Yupei.

Back then, there were two jade pendants of the same shape, one was given to Sun Lianqiao, and the other was still with Li Wei.Although they are not a couple, it is always bad for a jade pendant like Sun Lianqiao to fall into the hands of others.

Gu Huaishu had already let go of this matter, but now seeing Li Wei, of course he had to do it without any worries.

Li Wei said that the jade pendant had already been pawned, but Gu Huaixiu still remembered seeing someone walking by in the tea shed with the jade pendant hanging on his waist.

If it is true as Li Wei said, the jade pendant is pawned, then the person who bought the jade pendant is at least a rich man, and shouldn't be wearing burlap clothes like he saw that day.

Gu Huaishu still had good eyesight, so it was Li Wei who passed by outside the tea shed that day.

Gu Huaixiu thought for a while, and asked someone to come in. Seeing that Li Wei was still buried in his head, skinny, he sneered for some reason: "At such a young age, the ability to lie is first-rate. Let me tell you, a few days ago, Li Wei was lying on the other side of the river. Where were you when something happened to Shen Tie Abacus's boat and all the crew members died?"

Li Wei looked up in surprise, he had naturally heard of the name Shen Tie Suan, and he was there when the accident happened that day.

Can……

How did Gu Huaishu know?
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Mrs. Zhang's gourd, he said truthfully: "At that time, the villain was running errands with the people on the boat."

"Then you also walked away wearing the jade pendant that day?"

Gu Huaixiu raised his eyebrows and asked, then looked at him with a half-smile.

People are small and their hearts are wild.It's hard to say that it's not a good seedling, but it's a pity that it looks a little crooked.

When Gu Huaixiu sighed secretly, Zhang Tingyu had already come in with a purple clay pot, and was playing with it, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of this kid, he just sat down on the armchair, and watched with great interest, without interrupting.

Gu Huaishu turned back and lowered his voice: "Why are you here?"

"I just fought couplets with others, won a purple clay pot, and came back."

Recently, Zhang Tingyu has been proud of his spring breeze in Jiangning. Jiangnan's literary style is very prosperous, and most of the literati use their words and pens, and they often like to use things as a prestige.Zhang Tingyu spends most of his time on the sidelines, only participating when he sees something he likes.

But it's fine if he doesn't make a move, once he makes a move, he will definitely be able to catch it.

Today's purple clay pot is also free.

Gu Huaixiu listened, and cursed with a smile: "Now the second master is more chic than that brother of the eight banners in the capital. He fights cocks and dogs, gambles, idles around, has nothing to do, and goes in and out of the wind and moon field, happily like a fairy."

"Where did you talk about?" Zhang Tingyu put the purple clay pot aside, "I know how to touch me all day long. What's the matter with this brat?"

It was Li Wei.

Gu Huaishu also sat down, and looked at Li Wei: "That day when I arrived in Jiangning, I was sitting in the tea shed. I saw the jade pendant passing in front of me, but I didn't see you. Don't tell me, the jade pendant is It's been a few days."

"Second Young Madam is right."

Li Wei quickly glanced at Gu Huaishu and said this.

Gu Huaixiu smiled angrily: "Well, your mother is gone again, right?"

She wholeheartedly felt that Li Wei didn't have a single word of truth in his mouth. When he was in the capital, he heard him say that his mother was seriously ill.

Not sure if this kid is lying again, Gu Huaishu said: "If your mother is sick, take me to see your mother, let's find a doctor to treat it; if your mother is gone, you also take me there Look, at any rate, you are filial to your mother, no matter what, the dead are the greatest, and the living will do their best, at least you will be buried..."

But Li Wei said: "When I went back just now, my mother had already been buried..."

At this time, Gu Huaishu suddenly wanted to intimidate him, and then lie and turn him into the government, think about it and forget it, it's a trivial matter.

Coincidentally at this time, people from Liao Fengyuan came to invite Zhang Tingyu again, Zhang Tingyu sighed and said: "Tell your boss, and I will go."

The man was ordered to deliver a message, and when the message arrived, he left.

Zhang Tingyu said something to Gu Huaishu, and got up to go. When he went out, he wanted to take Ade there, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the situation in the main room, and said to Ade: "If the second young lady wants to chase that kid away Let's go, you can take him in, it looks so pitiful. Staying in the yard to do odd jobs, no matter what..."

Ade was a little confused: "Second Master, what is this?"

"Suddenly I remembered that I was no better than this kid a few years ago."

Zhang Tingyu smiled and sighed.

But Ade suddenly understood, he felt sorry for his father, and said: "I understand, but if the second young lady disagrees..."

"Her? Talk a little too much, scold me a little bit later, just wait and see, she should be taken in or she should be taken in."

How well does Zhang Tingyu know her?Anyway, the family is not short of money, so it's okay to support more people.

Ade sent Zhang Tingyu into the sedan chair, and came back to serve Gu Huaishu, but saw Gu Huaishu slipping Li Wei's collar.

"Look at what you're dressed in? Go out and cheat, and you're ashamed to say you're going to see your mother? Why can't you go? Either you cheated me, or you're ashamed to go."

Gu Huaixiu frowned, with displeasure in his eyes.

Li Wei struggled and wanted to kick her, but he just called his godmother on the road, why is she more troublesome than his own mother?

Li Wei really wanted to cry, but when he saw Ade coming, he knew that he couldn't break free, so he lowered his head and said, "Then I'll take you to see..."

Great, agreed.

This was Li Wei's first time riding in a carriage. Although he didn't dare to go in, he found it very interesting to sit in front with Ade.

He became a little boy and was so excited that he wanted to help the coachman drive the horse, but Ade knocked on the head and told him to be quiet and not to disturb the second young lady in the car.

Gu Huaishu didn't think it was noisy, she lowered her eyes and calculated.

Perhaps everyone who has anticipated future events will not refuse such a temptation.

Perhaps this Li Wei is the future Li Wei.

She slowly closed her eyes, but picked her fingers, bit by bit, bit by bit...

Things that had been forgotten for a long time have surfaced again.

It's only been 31 years of Kangxi, and it's a long time before those men made troubles. It's just that she thought that the fourth elder brother should be loyal to the prince at this moment, but she actually started planning a long time ago.

It was Yongzheng who won the throne in the end, so since when did this fourth master have ambitions for that seat?
Without ambition, great things cannot be achieved.

Gu Huaishu is also an ambitious person.

On the Zhang family's side in the capital, Zhang Ying was highly valued by the emperor, but Zhang Tingzan, the eldest brother, wandered between the crown prince and the fourth elder brother, and Zhang Tingyu was just an unknown second-generation official.

As for Li Wei, I am afraid that he is just a poor boy with a white body.

Sitting in the car with her legs bent, she tapped the shadows of Ade and Li Wei in front of her, and for some reason suddenly pursed her lips.

Forget it, fight if you can, and let nature take its course if you can't.

Soon, Li Wei in front shouted "Here we are", and the carriage stopped.

Gu Huaishu got out of the car, but found that this place is really a wilderness, with mass graves to the east, and a cemetery to the west, where many small earth bags are piled up.

Ade was a little cautious, "Second young lady, why don't you go and see with him, are you waiting here?"

Such a place has always been taboo by living people, for fear of getting bad luck.

Gu Huaishu is not the one who believes in these things, she only slowly helped Qing Dai's hand down, and said calmly: "How can a dead person fight a living person? You are not afraid of the shadow swaying when you are upright, but you are more afraid than me. let's go."

Qing Dai knew Gu Huaishu well, seeing that Ade was a bit embarrassed, she advised him: "Second young mistress never shy away from such things, you don't know now, but you will know later."

Ade touched his head, "I will remember it in the future."

He looked back at Li Wei again and said, "Lead the way."

Li Wei nodded, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, passing one after another of the graves. There were not many people here, only them. The carriage was parked outside, and the surroundings were silent.

Li Wei arrived at a newly built grave, and there was a newly piled small earth bag not far away, looking shabby.

Gu Huaishu stopped, looked at the tombstone standing in front of the grave, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this your mother's tomb?"

Li Wei stood in front of the tombstone, let out a muffled "hmm", and clenched his hands for a long time without letting go.

Ade looked at Gu Huaishu with some hesitation, and Gu Huaishu shook his head at him, sighing slightly.

Her gaze crossed this grave, she looked at the newly piled up small soil bags in front of her, and helplessly curled her lips, went up and patted Li Wei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't cry, I trust you, I won't give it to your mother." Kowtow?"

Li Wei turned his back to Gu Huaishu, raised his sleeve and wiped his face, then shook his head, but said nothing.

Gu Huaishu withdrew his hand and said, "Then let's go, there will be more time in the future, just come and see for yourself."

Behind Adeqingdai and the others were silent, looking at each other, but Gu Huaishu had already turned around and walked towards the way he came.

They went back to the carriage for a long time, but they didn't see Li Wei coming back. It took about a quarter of an hour before they saw him come back with red eyes.

Gu Huaishu didn't say anything, just glanced at Ade: "What did the second master tell you when he left?"

Otherwise, according to Zhang Tingyu's temperament, why would he have to bring a capable person by his side, why would he keep Ade here?

Ade smiled sarcastically: "Second Young Mistress really has piercing eyes, and her eyes are like torches. The Second Master said that this kid is smart. If he wants to, he will take him by his side. It's better than him wandering outside. It's a good deed for our family."

Sure enough, as soon as Ade said this, Gu Huaishu sneered, and didn't say anything about Li Wei, but scolded Zhang Tingyu: "Your second master is just a meddler, so you don't have to bring yourself a lot of trouble, he If you want to work hard, you will work hard yourself. All in all, he came up with this idea, and it's your second master's business to regret it later. "

After finishing speaking, she turned around and got into the car, not bothering to care about others.

Ade stayed outside and suddenly snickered.

Hey, I have been with the two masters for more than a year, and I finally understand what is going on today.

The Second Young Mistress has always been a hard-hearted one. Looking at the methods she used in the capital, she has never softened her heart even with the young Fourth Young Master. She has a lot of tricks to play.This time the second master took the initiative to say something to keep Li Wei by his side, and it was nothing more than helping the second young lady, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

I'm afraid these two couples know it well, and they still have to be hypocritical.

Ade thought about it by himself, and suddenly he was happy.

He looked back at Li Wei, just put his arms around his shoulders, and didn't dislike the kid who was full of lies. When he pulled him into the car, he just said to him: "Don't care what you are now, the mother who gave birth to you and raised you I will despise you. Don't cry, let's go!"

After driving back to the other courtyard, Gu Huaixiu got out of the car and went into the house. At night, he got news from Liao Fengyuan, saying that Zhang Tingyu might not be coming back tonight.

She was so angry that she almost smashed things, and when she turned around, she was reluctant to part with the white porcelain teacup in her hand, so she took it back angrily, and said to Ade: "Go away, go away, tell your master to go far away, don't come back gone."

Ade was dripping with cold sweat, and he was about to leave after repeatedly responding.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaishu called him again, "Go and make two sets of clothes for Li Wei. If he wants to stay in our courtyard, he can do whatever he wants. It's also fine to be a handyman, run errands, etc. Give him a month's work." Money...Your second master accepted him as a servant, although he may not be used to order him, but you still have to give monthly money. This is all for the second master's reputation... Forget it, don't worry about the grave, we all don't know about it thing."

Ade and the others are all literate, but Li Wei is illiterate, and may not even know what those are on the tombstone.

Today during the day, the tombstone that Li Wei pointed to was not "Li XX" at all, and there was not even a surname that matched it. It was obviously someone else's tombstone.

On the contrary, there is a small earth bag next to the tomb, which is newly piled. Looking at the shallow one, most people would not think it is a grave bag.

The people here in Gu Huaishu knew it all at once.

She stirred the tea in the teacup with her finger, dipped it in and wrote on the table lightly, and her voice was also soft: "Maybe he just doesn't want others to know that his mother was buried in a disgraceful manner. After all, he is still a child at heart...with backbone, You have to have skills, let's see if he develops skills in the future."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and didn't mean to listen to what Ade said, so she told him to go.

Ade bowed out, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that the second master accidentally said that Gu Huaixiu...

On the one hand, there is the cunning and vicious snake and scorpion, and on the other hand, the kind heart of a bodhisattva.

As for which side?
I still remember that the second master stretched out a hand, flipped it over twice, smiled but didn't speak.

Ade also stretched out his hand, turning it over like the second master back then, and turning it over again, he vaguely understood, but couldn't explain clearly.

Hey, what is he thinking so much about?
The second master and the second young mistress are just two hypocritical people!
