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

Chapter 86 Hangover Soup

Second Master has been itchy recently.

Gu Huaixiu fell asleep and woke up without seeing anyone. With a stiff face, he changed into a skirt with white and blue embroidered pine flowers and green bamboo leaf patterns, and a black sweater with long sleeves.

While tidying herself up, she said: "Send someone to go to Kuixia Garden over there where shopkeeper Liao is, and ask about the situation of the second master... No, ask around, I will visit shopkeeper Liao in a while."

Duofu went down to report the matter to Ade, and Ade felt that things were going to be bad when he heard it, and he was about to walk out of the front yard, but Li Wei came out from behind, wondering: "Uncle Ade, where are you going? ?”

"Ouch, brat!" Ade was taken aback, and hurried to cover Li Wei's mouth, but it was too late.

Gu Huaixiu in the room had already heard it, she smiled, pinched an emerald hairpin in her hand, and took two steps towards the door, looking at Ade who stood outside with a shy face.

"I said, why didn't your father take you there? It's not for anything else. He stayed in the house to report the news."

Ade is no longer sneering, but sweating coldly. He opened his mouth to explain to himself: "Second young lady, I just want to prepare a sedan chair for you to go."

Ready for the sedan chair?Is it necessary to be so sneaky?

Gu Huaixiu wanted to laugh a little, so he didn't want to expose him anymore, he just said: "Since you are so loyal, then go prepare the sedan chair, and follow me to Kuixia Garden to see the second master, and pay a visit to shopkeeper Liao, by the way Get some presents."

As for the gift...

Gu Huaixiu gave Qing Dai a faint look: "Go and ask the kitchen to make me a pot of hangover soup, seal it up, how thick it is, how unpalatable it is, how it is boiled, maybe the second master will drink it later."

Qing Dai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, feeling a little pitiful for the second master.

In the end, Second Master's life is still suffering, but who told him not to come back last night?

Gu Huaixiu prepared hangover soup just to be prepared, she didn't believe that Zhang Tingyu was the kind of person who could talk to Liao Fengyuan and Shen Chao all night, and she didn't know what it would be like now.

Let's see.

After tidying up, Gu Huaishu went out surrounded by maids and women.

The sedan chair was parked outside the door, and Ade bowed his head and waited there, not daring to do it again.

Inside, Li Wei felt that this scene was very novel, and he didn't understand it. In his opinion, women dare not refute a word when the old man speaks, but it seems to be completely reversed in this family.

Or... it feels a little different.

Ade is already lighting candles for the second master in his heart now, and only hopes that the second master will not be too confused.

The sedan chair arrived at Kuixia Garden not long after the sun came up in the early morning.

The servants outside the yard just finished their shift, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and yawning wearily. When they saw Gu Huaishu's sedan chair coming, they still didn't react. Who came to visit so early?
The servant stopped the sedan chair and asked, and then he heard someone beside him say: "Second Master Zhang's family..."

"Hey, Second Young Mistress Zhang, why did you come here so early?" He quickly rushed to help press the sedan chair, the servant outside was also clever, and waved his hand to remind people to go in.

Qing Dai lifted the curtain from the side, "Young Mistress, please slow down."

Gu Huaixiu was very leisurely, took Duofu's hand next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I'm already here, let's see what's happened to Shopkeeper Liao with you."

Yesterday, the Sunflower Garden was very lively, some actors were called, and a lot of girls were invited to the Lvxiang Tower to have fun.

Well, people are happy, and trouble will arrive this morning.

Isn't this a scam?
The servants looked at each other, a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to stop them, they just watched Gu Huaishu lead people in directly.

Everyone knows that this is a distinguished guest. The shopkeeper Liao said that he must not be stopped when he comes, but now... this... Anyway, the shopkeeper Liao said that he can't stop him. If something happens later, he can't blame them. .

The servants thought about it, but suddenly they wanted to watch a good show.

Gu Huaishu directly called someone to lead the way, and asked where the shopkeeper Liao and Zhang Erye were.

Originally, she wasn't sure if the two were together, but when she saw the maid directly leading the way, Gu Huaishu bent her lips.

"Master and Second Master Zhang are at the Crane Water Pavilion, you go this way."

The crane waterside pavilion is on the small lake, usually standing in the air on the water, and it is named after several cranes are raised.

Gu Huaishu only said that they would find a good place, this Sunflower Garden is full of scenery, thanks to their ability.

Soon we arrived at the Crane Waterside Pavilion. At the end of the zigzag path, we saw a waterside pavilion with four-cornered eaves and high teeth. There are windows on all sides, so you can enjoy the surrounding scenery.There are lotus flowers in the nearby pond, and the wind blows and the fragrance moves, which is extremely graceful.

But what is more charming is the girls standing outside the waterside pavilion enjoying the flowers and talking.

From the pool to the waterside pavilion, there is a winding path, Gu Huaishu walked up slowly.

Those girls wore topless clothes, revealing a large part of their necks and even the white skin on their chests. When they saw Gu Huaixiu approaching, they didn't care much, they chatted and laughed wantonly.

Gu Huaishu just approached them and ignored them, but the two people in front were still talking, and they didn't give way when they saw Gu Huaishu approaching.

Qing Dai knew where these people came from at a glance, and said a little unkindly: "Can the girls make way?"

In fact, these words are quite polite, but the girls raised their eyebrows when they heard it, and looked Gu Huaishu up and down. They have never heard that Liao's wife is here. Kuixia Garden is also the place where he usually works. How many concubines are there, and where did this person come from?

Asked them to make way as soon as they opened their mouths, what a big face.

One of the women in a long pink dress laughed, and pointed to the narrow slit beside her: "Isn't this the road next to it?"

Qing Dai frowned, and sarcastically said: "You think my young mistress is as lowly as you?"

Gu Huaishu waved his hand and said with a soft smile: "Why bother to cause trouble? Qingdai, you should be kind."

Qing Dai was a little speechless, thinking that she was quite kind if she didn't do anything.

and……

Since when did my young mistress become a kind person?

Qingdai was puzzled.

Gu Huaishu has his own ideas.

Several flower girls heard Qing Dai calling the woman in front of her "Young Mistress", and they were still wondering who it was.

There is a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, but this dress is too well-behaved.

Some people curled their lips in disdain, but their eyes kept sweeping towards Gu Huaixiu's face, wishing they could pierce through it.

Gu Huaishu stopped Qing Dai, but he walked forward slowly, one step, two steps.

Those flower girls didn't intend to back away, they thought it must be the jealous concubine who came here.

Last night a few masters called them to come, they sang and danced, drank and drank, and it was quite lively, but I don't know how many people inside and outside the garden were blocked.

That's what they do, that's all.

When they were singing and laughing, other women would hide in bed and cry.

The front is too narrow, the lake is next to it, and there are short stone railings on both sides, just an embellishment.

Gu Huaishu couldn't move anymore, she was too narrow to pass people, she smiled politely: "Miss Zai, how about making way?"

The man in the red shirt next to him snorted coldly and didn't want to move at all.

The woman in the water-green skirt beside her gave her a hand, as if she wanted to persuade her, but the woman in Sequoia didn't care at all.There are a few enchanting golden flowers on her forehead, and her raised eyes are full of enchanting looks. She pinched her throat and said, "I don't know how to walk on such a wide road. If I insist on making way for you, I don't know if your foot is right." No matter how long it is, I don’t walk if there is a way, I really know it.”

With Gu Huaishu's status, if he wanted to cross the narrow road ahead, he had to walk sideways.

She finally laughed, there is really no rule, where did the kiln sister invited from Kuixia garden take Joe like this?

In front of her, she was still smiling and chatting with the girl, but she turned her face the next moment.

A slap fell on the woman's face with a flick of her hand, and there was a crisp "slap", followed by a scream of "ah", the girl lost her balance and fell into the nearby lake.

Although it was the end of summer, it was early in the morning after all, and the water in the lake was still cold. The woman couldn't take it any longer, and screamed in the water.

The faces of the brothel girls around turned pale with fright, they never expected that Gu Huaishu would strike without even saying a word.

The speed of turning back and forth is too fast, there is no time for people to react!
Gu Huaishu still stood at the original place without moving a single step, and said in a leisurely way: "This world is really against the sky, and all the bastards dare to block my way."

In an instant, no one continued to block the road ahead, and Gu Huaishu's actions made people tremble with fear.

She smiled gently at the girls beside her, and said, "Hey, thank you for giving way."

With that said, he walked forward.

The few people who were silent just now saw the sisters who were still thumping under the water, and then looked at the face of Gu Huaixiu when he was talking to them with a smile. Not only that, they were so embarrassing, but they also showed a natural sense of nobility. Son, it wasn't made deliberately, it was carried in the bones.

Although he gritted his teeth with hatred, no one dared to speak at this time.

Gu Huaishu walked and said: "No one should pick her up, just flop around below."

The servant girl at Xianhe Waterside Pavilion wanted to come out to help when she saw the movement, but she didn't expect Gu Huaishu to drop such a sentence, and she didn't dare to move immediately.

So I saw someone thumping around below, but the second young lady was indifferent?Walking straight ahead, there is a back corner outside the water pavilion, and a branch of crabapple hangs obliquely. Although the flowers are gone, the green leaves are lush, which can just block half of the line of sight.

There was a lot of commotion outside, and the men inside who had been drunk all night gradually woke up. Zhang Tingyu only rubbed his forehead, and looked at the drunk Hua Niang lying beside him. Also just woke up, yawning lazily.

"What's the noise outside?"

Shen Chao took a glance and saw that Liao Fengyuan was still lying on the recliner and hadn't woken up, so he laughed immediately.

Shopkeeper Liao is getting old, don't just sleep to death.

The maids were a little frightened, and rushed in to report: "Mrs. Zhang Er is here."

Zhang Tingyu, who was about to bring water to drink just now, almost choked, what was she doing here?
Thinking that he didn't go back at night, Zhang Tingyu suddenly understood.

However, the next moment he started to have a headache.

Shen Chao was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately began to gloat.

Ade walked in with his shoulders shrunken, looked at Zhang Tingyu in fear, then looked at the situation in the room, and said tremblingly: "The second young lady is waiting for you outside, and asked the young one to bring you hangover soup. That... if the second Grandpa, you can’t finish it, so it’s okay for several grandpas to drink together.”

What's in this hangover soup, Ademener knew, knowing that the Second Young Mistress was just unhappy.

The second master went out to hang out, and the other two masters had no responsibility, so besides refreshing the second master, the hangover soup was also prepared for the other two.

At this moment, a maid came up to wake up the flower girls one by one, and another flower girl from outside came in crying, saying that a sister had been pushed into the water.

Now the water pavilion is almost empty in a short while.

Gu Huaixiu never showed up, Zhang Tingyu was a little surprised: "Where is Second Young Mistress?"

Ade said: "Young Mistress said, this is the place where men come, so she won't come in. Second Master, you drank the hangover soup well, and she left."

Zhang Tingyu, one head and two older, only asked, "Where's the hangover soup?"

So Ade brought out a pot and poured it for Zhang Tingyu.

Shen Qi was watching the show, almost slapped the table and laughed.

Unexpectedly, Ade poured a big bowl for Zhang Tingyu, looking at the thick and dark piece, he didn't know what it was, and looked very tossing.After he finished pouring it, he turned around and asked Shen Chao, "Master Shen also wants a bowl?"

Shen Qi suddenly fell silent, he was hungover and still had some headaches.

Seeing that Zhang Tingyu was holding the bowl, he didn't open his mouth for a long time, he seemed to be struggling in pain, Shen Qi pinched his eyebrows, said "uh", and said: "I don't want to drink, show me your pot .”

Ade casually gave the jug containing the hangover soup to the maid next to him, but turned around and looked at Zhang Tingyu, and whispered: "I was going to come over this morning to inform you, but on the way, I was given by the second young lady." If you catch it, it really won't work... This... hangover soup is the kindness of Second Young Mistress, Second Master, you should... use it."

Use it.

Zhang Tingyu almost shook his hands and directly pressed the bowl of soup to Ade's face. Thinking of Gu Huaishu's indifferent but stingy expression, his heart softened again, and he said: "Your second young lady will definitely torment me."

He held his breath, he was dizzy just after waking up, so he took a sip directly, only to feel that it tasted sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, as if he had put all the seasonings that could be put in the kitchen into it.

Zhang Tingyu almost lost his breath, and suddenly gave a wry smile.

At this time, Shen Chao had already poured himself a small half bowl, observed the color, and couldn't help praising: "The color is black and bright, the soup is thick, and there are some strange things, maybe it's the tonic stewed in it? Second Master Zhang is so lucky ..."

luck...

Ha ha.

Zhang Tingyu couldn't help laughing, her hands shook, thinking that she had to change the cook, and she didn't know who would let Gu Huaishu do such nonsense, and there would be a lawsuit involving her life!
He forced himself to drink it up in one gulp, raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, smelled it for a while, and then calmly got up from the bowl: "Zhang will take his leave first."

Gu Huaishu waited outside for a while, and when he saw Zhang Tingyu coming out, he teased softly: "I thought the second master was drunk and died in the flowers, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him."

Zhang Tingyu sighed, and said: "Look at your small belly, you are just talking about something, drinking with others, don't think too much about it."

Gu Huaixiu was tricky, and said again: "You don't do much, how do you know I will think too much?"

Yep, Master Zhang was short of breath, even though his mouth was full of strange tastes, he still went up to hold her hand, accompanied her out of the garden, and said with a sigh: "Is Zhang Er that kind of person?"

"Look, there's no difference."

She squeezed her throat, but couldn't help laughing again, and then went back.

In the water pavilion, Shen Qi was holding the bowl of hangover soup, the previous smile disappeared immediately.

He took the soup, took a sip, but said: "Everyone has left, shopkeeper Liao, don't pretend to be asleep, and I didn't ask you to drink sober soup."

Not everyone is blessed with that drink.

Shen Qi raised his eyebrows, only to frown in fright at the taste of the tip of his tongue.

Shopkeeper Liao rubbed his head and opened his eyes. Seeing Shen Qi savoring the hangover soup, he felt a little subtle.

"Master Shen won't pour a thousand cups, and Erye Zhang is not bad either. I'm an old man, and I won't be able to do it after two cups."

How could Shen Qi trust him so easily?
Liao Fengyuan didn't speak the truth, especially between merchants.

He laughed, holding the bowl in both hands, thinking that other people's wives are good.

Liao Fengyuan asked again: "I'm afraid this soup tastes bad, if Lord Shen wants to drink sober soup, just ask someone to bring it."

Shen Chong glanced at him sideways, curled his lips coldly, the taste on the tip of his tongue was still there, and he seemed to have no intention of asking: "Second Master Zhang's wife is considerate, I don't know which girl she was from back then, it was He Fang's name?"

"..."

Liao Fengyuan was vigilant and didn't say anything, he still knew a little bit about Shen Qi, and this question couldn't be answered.

After thinking about it, Liao Fengyuan only said: "A friend's wife should not be bullied, Master Shen's thoughts are too obvious."

Shen Chi smiled: "Is it that obvious? But..."

With a slightly drawn out voice, he shook the bowl in his hand and said, "Zhang Er and I are not friends, so there is no bullying."

If other people's things are better than your own, you try to snatch them away. Doesn't it become your own?
