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

Chapter 99 Scorpio Lone Star
Gu Huaishu looked at Shen Yang as if he was seeing a plague god, lest he would find him.

It's not that I'm afraid, but annoying.

She directly backed away from the window, pushed Qing Dai awake, saw that it was almost time, and walked directly towards Sihai Tower.

With quick steps, Gu Huaishu took a shortcut between the rockery and saw the Four Seas Tower at a glance.

"Mistress Zhang Er is back."

When Liu saw it, he hurried over to entertain him.

Gu Huaishu's footsteps slowed down, and he bowed his knees: "I just slept in the guest room for a while, but I don't know which song has been sung?"

"We're singing "Burning the Red Cliff"." Liu Shi pointed to the stage below, and called Gu Huaixiu to take the seat. The grandmas of merchants' families had already mingled together. .

Gu Huaixiu knew a little bit about Pai Gow, but he didn't know much about Pai Gow. After learning for a while, he suddenly heard a woman with a small scarlet mole on her lips scold: "Hmph, the old man bought a skinny horse again!"

Everyone was pushing cards, and when they heard this, they were all stunned.

Gu Huaishu held a good deck of cards in his hand, and just getting excited, he asked casually, "What's wrong with Zhou's grandma?"

This one is the wife of Zhou Yide, a great salt merchant in Yangzhou. Everyone calls her "Grandma Zhou".

At this moment, when Gu Huaixiu asked, she threw down the cards in her hand, and said sharply with a "snap" sound: "A while ago, that hunchback from Yangzhou pulled a bunch of skinny horses down, my master I fell in love with a very charming one. Look over there, she is going up the stairs."

These skinny horses were bought for the entertainment of men, and they did not follow any etiquette.

The man is happy, and he can do whatever he likes.

Looking at the girl from a distance, she really is slim and slim, her face is lightly covered by a round fan, although she can't see clearly, but when she looks at her body, she feels that her bones are all brittle.

When everyone on the Sihai Tower took a look, their sour gas immediately started to rise.

There are three women in one play, and now there are a group of women here, and there are also a group of women over there, and a good show is about to be staged.

Mrs. Liu teased Mr. Liao with a smile, and asked casually: "Look at him, he's a clever one. I'm afraid it will cost a thousand taels or a few hundred taels?"

"No, guess how much money my old thing cost?" Grandma Zhou smiled and said sarcastically, "One thousand nine hundred taels, he can buy it!"

"I've also heard that there is only one skinny horse at Humpback San that is worth the price." Another person came to speak.

Gu Huaishu didn't even know about these things, so he just sat here and listened to them, so he learned a lot.

Someone answered, "Is she called Pan Zhemei? It is said that changing her name is not allowed, so she should be called by this name, and she was told not to be a concubine, but to be a concubine. Your master Zhou bought her..."

This is a bit interesting.

To put it bluntly, it's just for sale, it's just a skinny horse, and there is a saying that you are not allowed to change your name and only serve as an outsider?

Pan Zhemei, what's the background?
Gu Huaixiu thought about it, and looked over there, but seeing that beautiful shadow patrolling the venue to toast, he immediately squinted his eyes.

Zhang Tingyu was sitting next to him, talking to Wu Sidao, and when Pan Zhemei came in, Wu Sidao kept watching: "Second Lord, this girl is really icy and beautiful, she is extraordinary, look at her every move, she is just like the eldest lady of the official family." what."

Zhang Tingyu glanced at it, secretly thinking that disaster was about to happen.

The Sihai Building opposite seems to be very quiet at this time, Gu Huaishu is a jealous master, she will know later, she can't be kind.

Just as he was talking, Pan Zhemei had already arrived in front of him, holding a glass of wine: "Zhemei No. 60 three glasses of wine, toast to Master Zhang and Mr. Wu."

Wu Sidao picked up his wine glass, but Zhang Tingyu waved his hand: "I'm too strong to drink."

Wu Sidao was speechless for a moment, many people around had just seen Zhang Tingyu drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and now they said "too strong to drink", this is clearly perfunctory!

Zhang Tingyu was perfunctory, and he didn't deny it, and asked Pan Zhemei to pay respects to Wu Sidao with a smile, and immediately put himself aside.

Zhou Yide is a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, he only knew Liao Fengyuan, so he only came here, he didn't expect that there would be people here who would not give him face for his newly bought skinny horse.

Zhou Yide didn't immediately shake his face, he just stretched out his hand and waved at the boy next to him, and lowered his voice and asked, "Who is that one?"

"Return to Boss Zhou, Second Master Zhang of Tongcheng?"

"Zhang? Which Zhang?" Zhou Yide's heart skipped a beat.

The boy shook his head: "This little one doesn't know."

Zhang Tingyu successfully evaded Pan Zhemei, thinking it's better to go down, if something happens next, it may not be able to explain clearly.

On the pretext of going out to sober up and change clothes, Zhang Tingyu got up and went out.

Shen Qi over there just came along the road, didn't meet Gu Huaishu all the way, he was a little depressed, and was walking forward with his head buried, but he didn't expect a little ghost to rush out from the sideways, and bumped into Shen Qi right away.

Shen Chi took two steps back, but the little ghost rolled backwards like a gourd a few times.

"Ouch……"

Li Wei hit the steps with his head and cried out in pain.

Shen Chao vaguely remembered seeing this kid beside Zhang Tingyu, who seemed to be running errands, so he asked, "Where are your second master and second young mistress?"

Who has such a question?

Li Wei felt strange: "I know you, you are Shen Tie's abacus master Shen, you are looking for the second master, you are the second master, why are you asking my second young lady?"

Shen Chi choked, never expecting that the hidden thoughts would be seen through.

He looked at Li Wei with great interest: "You are a clever ghost, taught by your second master?"

"Nonsense..." Li Wei has always been fearless, got up from the ground, patted his clothes, and snorted, "I was born so smart, and my godmother taught me to teach me. "

"Who is your godmother?" Shen Qi was curious.

"Second Young Mistress." Li Wei blinked, feeling that this person talked too much, he muttered, "Although you don't think so...but I think Second Young Mistress treats me like a godson..."

After he finished speaking, he was going to go upstairs to listen to Zhang Tingyu's orders, but he didn't expect Shen Chao to be interested in him.

"Hey, you stop."

"What?"

"Seeing how smart you are, why don't you come to my master, I'm sure I can promote you better than your second master."

Shen Qi looked at him with a smile.

When Zhang Tingyu heard this sentence as soon as he walked down, he really wanted to shake his head and laugh.

He stepped up the stairs step by step, "Master Shen, you are really merciless in poaching people's walls. Li Wei is still young, you can even look up to him."

Shen Qi didn't expect that Zhang Tingyu would come down at this time, and he felt resentful immediately, but he was thick-skinned and didn't care about it, instead he said in the right way: "Such a clever conversation at a young age, the future is boundless in the future."

Li Wei half-understood, he only retreated to Zhang Tingyu's side.

"Second Master, Li Wei never thought of taking refuge with others. If you and Second Young Mistress are together for a day, Li Wei will not leave."

The small face was firm, making Zhang Tingyu laugh.

He patted Li Wei's head, but turned to Shen Yang and smiled apologetically: "There's no other way, even if I want to send this little devil's head to Master Shen for training, if he doesn't want to, I can't force it. After all, he belongs to the Second Young Mistress, so I can't help it."

To put it bluntly, we are rejecting you!
How could Shen Qi not understand?
He didn't say anything anymore, just watched Zhang Tingyu bow his hands to say goodbye to him, the clever Li Wei looked back at him, and followed Zhang Er away.

Putting away the folding fan, Shen Yang shrugged, stepped on the stairs, and saw Pan Zhemei.

He had just joined the salt merchants in Yangzhou, so he had a relatively good relationship with Shen Yang this week, Pan Zhemei was the skinny horse he bought, so he knew Shen Yang too.

Today, what Pan Zhemei performed for everyone was the skill of staying drunk after a thousand glasses. The beauties were slightly drunk from drinking, and the men feasted their eyes. This is the reason for the so-called performance of "not getting drunk after a thousand glasses".

As soon as Shen Chao came up, Pan Zhemei knew to serve wine to respect Shen Chao. Normally, when Shen Chao saw a beauty, his eyes almost fell out.

It's a pity that in the past two years, I don't know if he has changed his temperament. Every time he sees a beauty, he is only interested for a while. The oiran ladies who are elected every year on the Qinhuai River will cry angrily at Shen Qi's derogation.

In the eyes of Hua Niang and the skinny horses, Shen Chiu is not someone easy to get along with.

Sure enough, today's Shen Chaozai looked at Pan Zhemei carefully.

"The waist is not thin enough, the face is not white enough, the eyes are beautiful, but the eyes are not clear enough, and the breasts are not enough... Well, the most important thing is the temperament... The temperament can't keep up..."

He sighed, sat down, and took a drink to Zhou Yi to save face.

However, Zhou Yide's face gradually darkened.

"Listening to Master Shen's words, it's like comparing Zhemei with someone."

"Boss Zhou, you really guessed it right." Shen Qi was quite shameless, seeing that Zhou Yi was getting angry, he added fuel to the fire, "That might be the Yaotai fairy that I have been looking for all my life. Hahaha... "

Hehe, all the Yaotai fairies have moved out.

Everyone knows he is lying now.

After all, no one took his words seriously.

Everyone should eat, drink, and be happy.

Wu Sidao started to think about it, he had to have a prettier face than Pan Zhemei, a thinner waist, a bigger chest, clearer eyes, and a better temperament...

Where can such a person be found?

I don't know which girl Shen Chao's so-called "Yaotai Fairy" is. Looking at Shen Chao for the past two years, she really looks like she is going to hang herself on a certain tree...

Cough, left and right have nothing to do with me, why do I think so much.

As soon as Wu Sidao picked up the wine, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu.

Originally he was laughing, but looking at Mrs. Zhang Ershao from a distance, Wu Sidao's heart skipped a beat for some reason...

This……

On the garden path on the side of Pinghu Lake, Gu Huaixiu stands tall and graceful. She is wearing a snow-blue female gown with apricot forest and spring swallow patterns and plum blossoms. Underneath is a darker blue lotus-colored pleated skirt. She is tied up with a shocking bun, which makes her feel more beautiful and transparent.

Seeing her, Zhang Tingyu walked towards her, and the young couple held hands together.

She said: "Why did you come down? Could it be that the beauty upstairs is so weak that she told you to escape."

"Where is your hand crisp..."

Zhang Tingyu was not serious, he took Gu Huaixiu and walked into the garden.

Originally, I have visited Kui Xia Garden many times, and the two of them are still familiar with each other.

After today, I'm afraid I will have to think about the imperial examination.

"There should be something to look forward to this year." Zhang Tingyu is still worried about what happened three years ago.

Gu Huaishu said: "Three years ago, you could spread the word about Jiang Ning with a single answer sheet. If the chief examiner dares not to name you as the first name this year, you can make three or five copies of that answer sheet so that this year's chief examiner Also be Zhao Zifang."

"Shh..."

Zhang Tingyu was very cautious, "I can't say that. I don't know anything about the answer sheet from three years ago."

Installed.

Zhang Er started pretending again.

Gu Huaishu gave him a sideways glance, just after passing the stone pavilion, he saw the rain falling, he couldn't help sighing: "It's raining heavily."

"Heavy rain is not a good thing..."

Zhang Tingyu put his hands behind his back and said, "This year's autumn rains are continuous, and the upper reaches are in danger, and many embankments have been washed away. When I went out the day before yesterday, I saw embankments being repaired on the side of the Qinhuai River. I am afraid that the water will rise again this year. If it goes out After all, I don’t know how many people will be unlucky.”

"All in all, Jiangning City will never be flooded."

Gu Huaixiu shrugged, and she told Zhang Tingyu about her dream again: "I dreamed that a golden carp jumped out of my window, what do you think is the omen?"

"A good sign, it proves that your husband and I will definitely win this year."

Isn't that what the carp leaps over the dragon's gate?

Gu Huaishu also thought it was a good omen, and she wanted to say something else, but the people from Liao Fengyuan's side came to invite him again, but they couldn't enjoy themselves for too long, and the two brought them back to the banquet.

The opera singers in the lake didn't go back until it was dark.

After a day of exhaustion, Gu Huaishu fell asleep in the carriage for a while, and woke up with a long way to go.

Zhang Tingyu talked about Li Wei, "That Shen Qi can poach people."

Gu Huaishu said: "Go dig him, if he doesn't leave, what can I do?"

Once back to the other courtyard, Zhang Tingyu helped her down.

When the two entered the yard, Gu Huaishu saw the lively Li Wei at a glance, and said to Qing Dai: "He likes to eat chicken legs, so he asked the kitchen to make some more for him. He is growing old, so don't treat him badly." .”

Qing Dai snickered: "How can I? This kid is the most diligent in going in and out of the kitchen."

This is true.

Gu Huaixiu thought about it, but felt that he was worrying too much.

After an autumn rain and a cold, it became cold in a blink of an eye. Zhang Tingyu didn't wear much clothes and didn't care. When he came back from the Sunflower Garden, he coughed twice and didn't care much.

Seeing that the day of the scientific examination was approaching, he ran to sleep in the study, but Gu Huaishu didn't stop him, knowing that he wanted to meditate.

It's just that I didn't expect that something unexpected happened.

Zhang Tingyu didn't care about the cold that day, and fell ill within two days.

Ade hurried over, "Second Young Mistress, Second Master is sick!"

Gu Huaishu was so frightened that he dropped the bowl in his hand, "Doctor please!"

She didn't dare to ask too many questions, and hurriedly went to see Zhang Tingyu, only to find that the second master, who was always in good health, was already lying on the bed.

Seeing Gu Huaixiu approaching, he gave Ade an angry look, "Things that are ignorant will only worry your second young lady."

"Stop talking, just look at you!" Seeing you was fine last night, why did you get sick all of a sudden?

Gu Huaishu had already sent someone to invite a doctor, and he became worried again. He will be entering the field for scientific examination in two days. If he is seriously ill, he may not be able to enter.

Why doesn't Zhang Tingyu know this?
He didn't want Gu Huaishu to worry, even when she reached out to shake his hand, he avoided her.

"It will be done when the doctor comes in a while."

He fell asleep in a daze, and when he got up this morning, he began to faint. Needless to say, he knew that his body was very hot.

Gu Huaishu's tears came down immediately, and he grabbed his hand and touched it, it was really going to burn into her heart.

"God doesn't have eyes, so he made you sick at this juncture..."

She forced a laugh, she didn't look too worried, she just said: "If you fail the exam this year, come back in three years, you are really a late bloomer."

Zhang Tingyu suddenly remembered what Nalan Mingzhu had said to him, but shook his head: "Even if I'm sick and a tuberculosis, I still have to enter the examination room."

This man is really stubborn.

Gu Huaishu understood him and didn't persuade him, just waiting for the doctor to come.

Unexpectedly, the doctor found one after another and prescribed many prescriptions, but none of them worked.

That night Zhang Tingyu passed out from the fever, and was so anxious that he was busy inside and outside the courtyard.

"Doctor, doctor, our master will have to go to the examination room tomorrow, so hurry up and save someone!"

"What can I do? If I can wake up after taking this medicine today, I will be lucky. Why do I have to go to the examination room?!"

Ade begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, which annoyed Nalang.

Gu Huaixiu sat by the bed in a daze for a whole day, thinking of the dream he had, wasn't it a good omen, but a bad omen?

Zhang Tingyu died of a severe illness, and he became unconscious in just half a day, perhaps because he suddenly lost weight while he was ill.

She had a headache from being quarreled by Ade, she turned her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out and make trouble, the second master is still resting. If you don't pass the exam this year, just wait another three years. It's important now."

The voice was calm, even deadly.

The maids inside and outside the house were all frightened, Qing Dai trembled: "Second young mistress, are you alright?"

"Second Master is fine, what can I do?"

She waved her hand, "Leave me alone."

The people in the room looked at each other, and finally went out.

Gu Huaishu knew that Zhang Tingyu would be fine, this man should live a long life, all she thought about was how hard his life was.

If it doesn't work out this year, we'll have to wait again.

Wait……

Where are there so many three years for people to wait?

She didn't want to cry at first, but when everyone left and there was only her and a comatose Zhang Tingyu in the room, she knew that she still had him in her heart after all.

In her heart, the most important person is no longer Xiao Shifang.

People can live without appetite. If there is no mole between the heart and sand between the eyebrows, what's the point of living?
Thinking back carefully, she has been here for more than ten years, counting against Gu Zhenguan, it is insignificant; let alone others.Now there is only one Zhang Er who can make her worry.

If you leave Zhang Tingyu, looking back, it seems that it is not interesting.

The word love is really annoying, it comes unconsciously and silently...

The love is deeply rooted, and he knows nothing at the moment.

Gu Huaishu put his face close to his hand, and only sighed slightly: "But I'm afraid that if you wake up in two days, you will regret for another three years..."

Zhang Tingyu didn't know if he heard her words, and lay down with his brows furrowed. There was a deep mark between his brows, but the nightmare returned.

"Your fate is hard to control your elder brother. Of the two, only one can survive. But one of them will flourish, and the other will surely die! How could I have such a wicked son like you!"

"How could Ting Zan fall into the water without you? Tell me!"

"Without you..."

"Sky Fiend Lone Star."

What is the lone star of Tiansha?
Zhang Tingyu thought, that would be changing fate against the sky.

God forbids me to live, but I must live;
If God forbids me to do it, I will do it;
If God forbids it, I will take it.

What about the lonely star of Tiansha?
I have been abandoned for too long, trapped in the past and can't get out...

The person who was abandoned, why is he?
