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

Chapter 153 The Second Generation

When the sunflower garden is in early summer, you can see that the green shade in the garden has just come out, and when you look up, everything is blue.

No matter how good the gardens in Beijing are, it is difficult to show the charm of the south of the Yangtze River.

Kangxi asked people to build the Changchun Garden in imitation of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, just to appreciate the beauty of the water town of Naze country, but the real beauty and exquisiteness can only be appreciated in the south of the Yangtze River.Gu Huaixiu couldn't help but also wondered whether Kangxi's southern tour was also selfish...

"Mom, look at the carp below!"

The fat guy passed by the carp pond, and immediately saw the carp below, which was not afraid of people, and refused to leave no matter what, Gu Huaixiu really couldn't pull him.

"If you don't leave, Uncle Liao will get angry in a while." Gu Huaishu couldn't help but threatened a little, but his words were naturally false.

Unexpectedly, in the past two years, the fat brother knew that his mother's most cunning tricks were the most, and now he stood there without moving, and said: "Mother, you know how to lie to me, my Uncle Liao is very good. I really thought I was like my father, looking honest, but my heart was dark..."

"You boy!"

Where did someone say that about his father?
Gu Huaixiu frowned: "Are you going?"

The fat guy just stopped to tease the fish below. He leaned over the railing and watched for a while and said: "I'm going to get tired of watching it soon... I'm going to leave when I get tired of watching it."

Enthusiasm for 3 minutes.

Gu Huaixiu simply stood by and waited patiently, but a maid from Kuixia Garden came to ask if they needed to lead the way, Gu Huaixiu only knew the way, but the children stopped playing.

I haven’t been here for a few years, but the Sunflower Garden is still the same as it was before, that is, the flowers, plants and trees are deeper, and even the green moss in the carp pond is greener and greener. As for whether the fish in it have been changed, I don’t know. easy to say.At least the maids here have changed a lot, otherwise no one would have recognized Gu Huaishu.

Back then, Gu Huaishu was still a distinguished guest here.

Thinking about it, she only slightly curled her lips in those days.

"Master Shen, madam, this way please."

Suddenly there was a servant girl's whispering voice in front of her.

There is probably only one person in the entire Jiangning City who dares to call "Master Shen".

Seeing that Gu Huaishu was about to turn around the corridor, Shen Qi shouted from behind: "Second Madam Zhang sees Shen as if she sees a wolf, tiger and leopard, it really makes Shen very sad."

Gu Huaishu stopped at the entrance of the round door, and sneered: "You know you are a jackal, so don't come out. These days, if you beat a jackal, skin, sinew, and bone, you can sell it for a lot of money."

It's still rude to speak.

Shen Chao knew that Gu Huaishu didn't like him, and his hands were still wounded, but now he heard her say skinning, tendons and bones, and couldn't help squinting slightly.

He looked at the fat boy beside her, this should be the fat boy, right?
The fat guy who was pulled by Gu Huaixiu looked at Shen Qi, a little curious.

Although he is young, he knows his mother quite well.Once his mother is in such a lukewarm and seemingly calm state, that is the real "like facing the enemy".

This "someone Shen" looks weird, with something hidden in his eyes, which always makes people feel chills behind.I don't know why, Fat Brother doesn't like this person very much, although he looks very powerful... But, this is probably the kind of "hidden knife in a smile" that mother said.

His father is also the type who hides a knife in his smile and talks sweetly, but he is much more comfortable looking at him than this person in front of him.

The fat guy didn't know why he thought this way, he was a little puzzled.

Then, his eyes fell on the thin young man walking half a step behind Shen Qi.

He blinked his eyes, looked at his size, and then at the other person's fragile appearance, and suddenly laughed, showing his front teeth that had begun to loosen: "Mom, is that the one you said that the wind can blow you down?" ?”

Shen Qi's face changed, the smile on his lips faded away, and his eyes turned cold.

Standing at the back, Brother Qu'er tugged on Shen Yang's sleeves, but his bloodless lips curled up, "It's the truth, why should father care?"

Gu Huaishu over there also knew that Fat Brother's words were very hurtful.

If it were said by an ordinary person, there must be nothing wrong with it, but the brother on the other side who is as thin as a skeleton is sick. life.

She raised her hand and patted Fat Brother's head, and said coldly: "I taught you, you completely forgot!"

Fat brother was slapped by his mother for no reason, and he was wronged.

But looking at Shen Chao's frightening expression, and seeing the sickly young man behind him pulling Shen Chao's sleeves and smiling towards him, the fat brother felt close to him for some reason.

Letting go of Gu Huaishu's hand, the fat brother took two steps forward, and a little frightened by Shen Chao's expression, he took out a piece of peanut candy made by Uncle Shi Fang from his body, and finally arrived at the place where the brother took In front of him: "I... I didn't mean to give you peanut candy."

There was a woman standing silently at the back, frowning at the fat guy now, although she was a little fatter, but after all, her facial features were similar to when she was a child...

She had doubts, so she looked up at Gu Huaishu who couldn't get over there.

Just now Shen Qi called her "Second Mrs. Zhang"?
open?
open……

What the hell is this...

The expression on her face changed so drastically that Shen Qi could see it at a glance.

However, he only pressed his fan against his thin lips, gritted his teeth a little, looked at the fat brother who handed the peanut candy to his brother, and said: "My brother is not in good health, these things are not good. It's unbearable..."

Hearing this, Fat Brother was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and wanted to take his hand back.

However, at this moment, Ge Er stretched out his hand, and took the piece of peanut candy wrapped in oil paper from his fat hand. He seemed a little shy, and said jerky: "It's okay, thank you .”

On the contrary, the fat guy was amused by his shyness. He turned around and made an ugly face at Shen Chao, sticking out his tongue: "The liar king, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As soon as the grimacing was done, the fat guy ran back to Gu Huaixiu's side in a hurry.

Gu Huaishu was watching over there, almost bent over laughing, Shen Qi's face was so colorful and wonderful!

"good."

She patted Fat Brother's head, then took Fat Brother's hand and walked forward.

But in retrospect, the aunts around Shen Qi really changed one after another, but he didn't know who was born in his backyard, so sick and weak.

Gu Huaixiu frowned suddenly, always feeling that the woman next to Shen Qi was familiar.

Shen Qi's son, Shen Qu, looks a bit like the woman beside him, but his charm and demeanor, even the faint gloomy eyes, are exactly the same as Shen Qi's.It's a pity that the body is too weak, Shen Qi now holds the child in his palm as a treasure, but he just hopes that the child will be fine.

This person, Shen Chao, has committed too many crimes.

Gu Huaishu patted the center of his eyebrows, without thinking too much, went to the flower hall of the banquet in front to meet Mrs. Liu.

Liao Simian is not young anymore, and is several years older than Fat Brother. The child she held in her arms in previous years has grown into an adult now, and now she is studying in a school with her husband to teach His are all great Confucian scholars in Jiangning City, so it can be said that Liao Fengyuan placed high hopes on his son.

Liao Simian also met Mrs. Zhang Er in the past, and he still remembered her, so he quickly bowed to say hello: "Simian met Mrs. Zhang Er."

"Looking at the grown-ups now, Yushu Linfeng should be a promising person."

Gu Huaishou looked at Liao Simian, quickly helped him up, then pulled the fat guy over and said: "This is the fat guy, just call him chubby, I like your garden very much, if you play later, remember to take it with you." on him."

Originally it was for some children to play, but Liao Simian looked at the gentleness, but in fact, he was crazy alone, and soon he and the fat brother began to report their own family, and they talked and went together.

Fat brother saw that Liao Simian was older than himself, and the sunflower garden belonged to their family, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Mian, show me your garden, I just saw carp outside, let's feed the fish let's go!"

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the servant girl to get the fish food. Wait a minute..." Liao Simian was over ten years old, much older than the fat guy, and was about to run out after talking.

But the fat guy pulled him away, turned back to Gu Huaishu and said, "Mother, brother Simian and I went to feed the fish, you guys can play by yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out to play with Liao Simian.

Gu Huaixiu shook his head and sighed, and was dragged into the hall by Mrs. Liu to sit. There were other businessmen and women here, and there were quite a few wives and daughters of officials, but they pushed the cards by themselves.

Mrs. Liu is not young anymore, she greeted them before, and now she only talks with Gu Huaishu.Others didn't bother her either, after all, Gu Huaixiu knew all about the Beijing movies, and by looking at her attire and demeanor, she knew she was not an ordinary person.

"Today's children are really getting more and more out of control."

Mrs. Liu sighed, and added: "My family Jixu looks gentle, but in fact he is also a fun-loving person. No, when there are too many people, he starts to go crazy."

Gu Huaishu laughed.

Her family's fat brother can only know a few words and memorize some things at the moment, and has not yet entered school like other children's children.

Zhang Tingyu sloppily taught his son to read, and Gu Huaishu sloppily taught his son to eat, drink, and play. The husband and wife had a clear division of labor, and finally taught the fat boy into his current eccentric appearance.

She said: "It's a good thing for children to be able to play. Now that people are able to play, when they grow up, they think of their childhood and are full of happiness. Now that they have played enough, they can learn in the future..."

"You're a perceptive one."

Mrs. Liu sighed, she was a lady from a merchant family. Since ancient times, she was a scholar in agriculture, industry and commerce, and merchants were the last. She only hoped that Liao Simian would be the best in the future.

Don't look at the fat guy in Gu Huaixiu's family who doesn't study much now, his parents are from a scholarly family, and Zhang Ying's family has been a Jinshi for generations, not to mention Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu himself.Fat guy's ignorance and incompetence are all appearances now, and he is different from other children's children just by looking at his conversation.With broad knowledge and broad horizons, the small environment is different.As a parent, the innate environment you provide for your children is actually very important...

"Jixu has also worked hard in his studies these years, so he might ask your second master to help him in the future."

For all this, Gu Huaishu knew it well.

She nodded, but suddenly said: "Is Jixu the name of this child Simian?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Liu raised her hand to let the maid on the side pour tea, and said with a smile, "We merchants are not as particular as you are, and we started writing characters when we started school. Boss Shen gave me the word Jixu. Said it was right with the name, and the husband also agreed, so it was settled."

Did Shen Chao give it to Liao Fengyuan's son?
Gu Huaixiu frowned slightly, but he was a little puzzled.

Seeing her expression was different, Mrs. Liu wondered, "But what's wrong with this word?"

"Do not……"

Gu Huaishu shook his head quickly, for fear that Mrs. Liu might have misunderstood something.

She said: "I just find it strange. Looking at the word Jixu, I know that Shen Chao is not an idiot, but he gave his son a strange name, called Geer. Last time I heard it, I still said yes Which 'take', I later realized it was this."

His finger swiped across the table and wrote the word "Qi", Gu Huaishu said casually: "When I came in today, I saw Brother Qu, he is really sick, his body is only bones, and his face is pale That's great. Brother Mian isn't three or two years younger than Brother Mian, is he? But he's also enrolled, so he has written words?"

"Speaking of which, don't laugh."

Mrs. Liu had just opened her mouth, but she laughed for a while, and said, "Boss Shen named the child Shen Qu, but no one dared to ask Master Shen what happened, but Boss Shen personally took the name when the child was enlightened. , called Sanqian. Shen Sanqian, he himself is the second tallest Shen Wansan, but he wants to name his child Sanqian, which means a lot..."

Shen Wansan is the second, and the child's name is Shen Sanqian.

Gu Huaishu also shook his head and smiled, "Why is this person making such a scene?"

When Liu heard this sentence, she laughed even harder, and teased her: "It's better than you calling your kid Fat Brother, my God, don't talk about it, my stomach..."

Speaking of Fat Brother's name, how many people don't know?
Maybe it's because Gu Huaishu didn't choose a good name for the child, the fat guy grew fatter and fatter, and there is no trend of getting fatter, but it hurts a lot of people.

But Gu Huaishu was not in a hurry, she had asked someone to touch the child's frame, it wasn't a very strong frame, if she lost weight in the future, she should still be able to lose weight.For a cruel person like her, there are 1 ways to make her son fat...

In fact, there is a simplest way.

You only need to hide the little stone in a place where others can't find it, and the fat guy will become a "thin guy" soon after keeping it.

She thought about it, but pursed her lips and smiled.

"By the way, speaking of it, other people's children are here, so why haven't you seen Shen Qi's family?"

At this moment, Gu Huaishu even found the woman who was sitting in the corner, first followed by Shen Yang, but he couldn't find Ge Er.

Mrs. Liu said: "If you don't go out, you will stay in the garden, but if you go out, you will be accompanied by Boss Shen, at the table of the men in front."

Gu Huaishu nodded, thinking about how much Shen Qi cared about the child.

In the flower hall, Gu Huaishu sat down and said a few words, but Shen Chao and his son were still walking on the corridor.

There was no one else around, looking at the piece of peanut candy in his hand, Ge Er felt a bit greedy.

He broke off the piece of candy and handed half of it to Shen Chao: "Father, don't you want to try it?"

Shen Qi glanced at it with disgust, I don't know how many times he has been caught by that kid from the Zhang family...

However, he sighed again when he met Shangde Geer's bright eyes, and took it over, looked at it carefully, and then stuffed it into his mouth to eat.The taste is really good...

It should be non-toxic.

Shen Qi touched his brother's head, and said: "Don't eat random things, you can eat half of it, it's fine."

Ge'er buried his head, brought the peanut candy to his lips, took a bite cautiously, chewed it slowly, it was extremely delicate.

He ate half a piece before he raised his head and asked, "I think this little fat man is not bad, can I make friends with him?"

"Do you think you need friends?"

Shen Qi frowned.

Brother Qu also frowned: "Why doesn't father have any friends?"

Shen Chao laughed: "Your father and I are so handsome that we don't have any friends. Actually...it's too much trouble to make friends. Think about who knows when a friend will stab you in the back. Wouldn't it be miserable?"

Because the higher you stand, the colder your heart will be, and the lonelier you will be.

Shen Qi opened the fan with a "snap", but said: "But it's your father and me, if you want a playmate, I'll take you to find that little fat man and the Liao family boy later, okay?"

Brother Quer pursed his lips and squinted his eyes and smiled. The skin on the back of his hand was as white as transparent, and blue blood vessels could be seen. He folded the small piece of oil paper wrapped in sugar, and then walked to the banquet hall with Shen Qi main hall.

Father is a man without friends, but he has countless enemies.

However, the fate of these enemies is generally miserable.

Taking my brother to think about it carefully, in fact, it is not easy for my father.

He tugged on Shen Chi's sleeve, but when he entered the main hall, he put it down lightly, without being stage frightened, he greeted all the uncles.
