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

Chapter 191

Zhang Tingyu couldn't stay in the house at this time, and when he heard Peng's crying, he simply went straight to the school.

But not long after, someone said that the second lady was here.

This happened suddenly today, and Gu Huaishu didn't want to tarnish the Zhang family's reputation, so he wanted to ask what was going on.

Someone notified Zhang Tingyuan, who was a little surprised and ashamed, and bowed to Gu Huaixiu who had just entered the door: "Tingyuan met the second sister-in-law, why is the second sister-in-law here free today?"

"I didn't have time to come here. After hearing what happened in your room, wouldn't I be free now?"

Gu Huaixiu smiled lightly, then sat outside, she looked up at Zhang Tingyuan, he was also a handsome boy, how come he didn't grow sweet when he married a wife?
She just said: "You don't have to play dumb in front of me, I just want to ask what's going on."

Zhang Tingyuan was talking standing up, but Gu Huaishu pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Fourth brother, sit down."

A Ren beside Zhang Tingyu quickly brought tea, Qingdai took it, first poured a cup for Gu Huaishu, and poured another cup for Zhang Tingyu.

"Thank you, Miss Qingdai."

Zhang Tingyu smiled, but with a bit of bitterness.

"Bingying is ignorant, but it makes the second sister-in-law worry a lot."

Thinking about it, I feel surprised, how could Gu Huaishu bear Peng Bingying's temper for so long?

Zhang Tingyu still didn't want to say anything else, so he kept silent now.

Gu Huaixiu said: "Now I heard that she is going back to Peng's house. Peng Weixin has just become a Hanlin, and now he is also a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Now if she wants to make trouble, maybe she will turn against each other... But you are the one who cares about us, whether it is your second brother or me, we just want you to be happy."

Having said that, Gu Huaishu looked at Zhang Tingyu's face.

Zhang Tingyu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

So, Gu Huaishu said again: "Now you don't seem very happy. I still remember that when you said you wanted to marry the Peng family, your second brother and I were quite surprised, but later we agreed. At that time, the Peng family's girl had a good reputation. After entering the door, there has been no mistake, and since her brother took the test, things have happened one after another. But after all, we have to take care of the Zhang family's reputation, do you still want to keep her?"

"She doesn't want to go back to see her parents, and I don't want to force it. If she wants to stay at her mother's house, she will stay at her mother's house. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back."

Zhang Tingyu was surprisingly indifferent and said such words.

He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the second sister-in-law, and looked down at the tea bowl.

Gu Huaishu was just a little doubtful about the matter of marrying Mrs. Peng back then, but Zhang Tingyu didn't seem to want to say anything, so he simply said: "At the beginning, you wanted to marry this person, but now this person wants to leave, you young couple It's difficult for me, the second sister-in-law, to be in the midst of conflicts. After all, the life you live is still yours, and sometimes you make a wrong move, and there is no way to recover..."

She was actually here to do peace affairs, after all Zhang Tingzhen married Peng Shi and it seemed that she was sincere.

Why didn't Zhang Tingyu know that he was sincere at the beginning?
He gently turned the tea bowl, and said: "Second sister-in-law, I have already figured it out. If she continues like this, it will be a bad thing for her to stay in our house. She is not happy, I am not happy, and everyone will not be happy. Now It's fine for her to go back to her mother's house, if she can figure it out, I'll pick her up, if she can't figure it out, it's okay to get divorced."

And away?

It was the first time Gu Huaishu heard this word from a man's mouth.

For them, the word "Hugh" is actually simpler.

Now Zhang Tingxuan seems to have made up his mind, and Gu Huaixiu can only sigh: "It seems that you have already made up your mind, but I just find it strange... Since you were in love with each other before you got married, don't say goodbye The issue of etiquette, I thought that at least life would not be a problem. Why now..."

"Second sister-in-law also felt that Ting Yu was sincere at that time, right?"

Zhang Tingyu smiled slightly. He thought of the days when he was so scared by the second sister-in-law that he couldn't sleep, and then he thought about the elder sister-in-law, and now the third sister-in-law, and now he thought about his daughter-in-law...

In fact, it is self-inflicted.

He said: "Second sister-in-law Lao is worried, let's look back and see what she does. After all, my Zhang family has never treated her badly, and second sister-in-law has treated her with the utmost benevolence. Now she is the one who is narrow-minded, and the family lives... too small-minded, How can I get by?"

He always talked about him from left to right, but didn't get to the point.

After all, Gu Huaishu didn't ask any more questions. She took a sip of tea and said, "Then don't let these things disturb your study. It's time to work hard, and your third brother has also returned. I've already given all the things to the mansion. The servants are ready, next year the emperor will tour the south, the second master will try to ask for a favor from the emperor, maybe the whole family can sit down and have a meal together in the spring of next year."

Zhang Tingxuan got up, and sent Gu Huaixiu, who had not been sitting for a while, away.

But when he turned around, he asked Ah Ren to inquire, and said that Mrs. Peng had already packed her things, and the carriages were called outside.

Ah Ren looked at Zhang Tingxuan hesitantly: "Master, why don't you persuade Madam not to leave, I'm about to go to Tongcheng now, how can I explain to Master and Madam?"

"There is nothing difficult to explain, and it is not a big deal..."

The third brother even divorced his wife. After all, how many brothers in the Zhang family were successful?
Zhang Tingyu also looked away, and only said: "It's hard work..."

Gu Huaishu didn't bother to stop Peng Shi, but she wanted to see what Peng Weixin would do.

The reputation of the Zhang family does not need to be earned by being kind to the Peng family. What the Zhang family is to the Peng family is what an elephant is to an ant.Even if the Peng family bites back, it won't affect the Zhang family's reputation much.

There is no need to worry about this, the one who needs to worry is Peng Weixin.

Mrs. Peng was in the room, waiting left and right, feeling a little regretful.

She thought that Zhang Tingzhen would come back to persuade her, but she didn't expect that after waiting for so long, she heard that Zhang Tingzhen's concubine, Hua Shi, had gone to deliver food to Zhang Tingzhen. The car went back to Peng's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when Peng Weixin saw her, he turned pale in shock: "Why is my sister back?"

Peng's grievances were full of grievances, and finally she had a place to vent. She cried when she came up, how bad the Zhang family was, how much Gu Huaixiu was going too far, and Zhang Tingyu's taking concubines...

With all kinds of things, Mrs. Peng has blackened Peng Weixin's face.

Can Peng Weixin keep his face from turning black?

He just entered the Imperial Academy recently, and only then did he know how deep Zhang Tingyu's foundation is in the Imperial Academy, which is not something that the Baye Party can shake.

Ever since Zhang Tingyu played the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot before the test, Eighth Master has never been able to turn the situation back.

Now Peng Weixin still has to rely on Zhang Tingyu. Everyone knows that his younger sister is married to Zhang Tingyu's younger brother, so everyone has to worry about his status. Now that Peng Bingying is back, what's the use?

If you can send a message to the left and right of the Zhang family, you will only eat for nothing at home, not to mention a waste of money, and you will also bring a bad reputation to your family!
Seeing Peng Bingying crying miserably, Peng Weixin is her elder brother, so it's not good to make his face too ugly.

He just said: "Listen to my brother, you can go back when you come back, and you can catch the big boat in the south of the Yangtze River. If you rest at your mother's house for one night, your reputation will be ruined. Besides, the Zhang family can't lose face. In the future, won't there be embarrassment and panic between the two families?"

"Brother! Do you want me to go to a place like Tongcheng to suffer? I grew up not touching the sun, so why should I go back and serve those two old things!"

Peng yelled, how comfortable is it to be a girl?

She thought that Zhang Tingyu didn't want her anymore, so she simply reconciled with him and came back to be a girl, so she looked at Peng Weixin pitifully: "Brother, why don't I reconcile with Zhang Tingxuan, and I'll go home and live—ah! "

Peng Weixin suddenly slapped her, and her whole face was about to contort.

"What are you talking about? Do you think it's easy to marry you in? If you didn't set up a trap and let Fourth Master Zhang take advantage of it, you thought that with your ability, reputation and face, you could marry into Zhang. Home? Countless people want to sharpen their heads, but they can't earn it. I've made a plan for you, and let you marry in, but you are so unlucky!"

Really, people are so angry that they don't know what to say.

"Bingying, have you ever considered your brother's feelings? I've planned so much for you, and you're going to repay me like this?" Peng Weixin sneered, "Sister, don't think too highly of yourself. It’s not something in the pool. Do you know how high their Zhang family’s family is? Since the Ming Dynasty, they have been Jinshi all the way down. Mr. Zhang Ying’s ancestors were Jinshi! Can Zhang Tingyu be a coward? If you wait for him to come back My god, can I still get you? I told you earlier, stay in there and be a human being, and when you give birth to a child, even if you have stabilized your position, there is no way to drive you away. No matter what Look how thin the child is. What about you?"

Peng Bingying was completely stunned, she covered her face, she never thought that her brother would treat her like this.

"Brother...you have changed...you have changed..."

"I have changed?"

Peng Weixin almost looked up to the sky and laughed three times.

He sighed and looked at Peng Bingying: "Lu, you asked for it yourself. With your ability, you can't beat Mrs. Zhang Er. This woman doesn't like to plot and use tricks to harm others. She likes to fight head-on with people. In the past, she didn't get angry very much. In recent years, she seems to be much lighter. If you think she is easy to bully, she has only been in the door for two years and wants to gain people's trust and let people hand over the power of housekeeper to you , Who do you think you Peng Bingying is? To put it bluntly, we come from a small family and a small family, and we can’t compare with a high-ranking family. If you can bear it, bear it, and when your husband is also awarded a Jinshi, he will naturally be separated from the government. "

"Besides, what's wrong with Tongcheng? There is Zhang Ying, the elder in Tongcheng, and there are servant girls and maids who serve the master and old women. Your husband must also pass the exam from Jiangning, and that is called ability. If you wait for him With real talent and practical learning, Lai Shuntian won a Nanyuan, which is nothing more than aggrieved. It is not brother who harmed you, so be clear, you are already married, not a little girl."

If you want to marry into a wealthy family and have a wealthy son-in-law, but now you can't make it on your own, what can you do?
Peng Weixin has a big head now.

He was afraid that Zhang Tingyu would see the clues of that incident at the beginning, but Zhang Tingyu didn't know the clues at the beginning?

It's hard to say, these are really hard to say.

Anyway, things are done now, raw rice cooked cooked rice.

What he had to think about was how to persuade his sister to go back, and at least help to find out some news in Zhang's residence, so as to have a better relationship with Zhang's family.

Zhang Tingyu won't be able to fall down for a while, so what's so great about going to Tongcheng for two years?

Short-sighted, short-sighted!
Peng Weixin was so angry that he regretted that his hands were heavy just now, so he hurriedly said to the servant girl at home: "Why don't you help Mrs. Zhang Fourth to apply the medicine?"

Peng Bingying just listened blankly.

She is not a fool, she can easily feel the changes in her brother.

It is said that the married daughter splashed water. She is also a married sister, but she has always loved herself, especially when she was helping her plan to marry Zhang Tingxuan. What a warm-hearted brother, now he saw himself back in a blink of an eye. At home, she didn't even bring out a bowl of tea, and she didn't care about the grievances she suffered there, she just scolded herself blindly.

What else do you not understand?

This is just using her as a tool to use and sending her to the Zhang family.

At the beginning, Peng Weixin asked her to ask about the examination, and later he asked her to give the second room a gift, and Peng did so.

... Now as soon as she said she would come back, things changed in an instant.

After all, she is not the only one who is snobbish in this world.

Mrs. Zhang Si?

It doesn't matter if this title comes from someone else's mouth, but this is the brother she cares about the most.

She tried her best to marry into Zhang's family, but instead of looking forward to the good life she thought, her husband's family and her mother's family were both angry.

In a daze, Mrs. Peng was helped by the maid into the room she used to have when she was a girl, but she found that the furnishings inside had been changed.

At that moment, Peng's tears came out again.

She sat and let the servant girl rub the medicine on herself, Cui'er also cried and said: "Madam, go back."

go back?

Yes, what else can I do but go back?
Peng Shi suddenly saw clearly now.

Her natal family simply couldn't keep her.

Because her brother couldn't keep her.

After a while, Peng Weixin said that the car was ready again and he wanted to send Peng Bingying back.

This time, Mrs. Peng did not refuse. She got into the car, and when she returned to Zhang's mansion, she was told that the third and fourth masters had already left. The son should not have sailed yet.

Peng Weixin apologized and thanked him in every possible way, and immediately asked someone to drive the car to take Peng to the pier.

He went up to Zhang Tingzhen and bowed his hands, only saying that his younger sister was not sensible, and asked him to take it easy.

When the people came back, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to say anything else, but said: "The boat is about to leave, please take it for me, please go back quickly."

Only then did Peng Weixin leave, and he was relieved to see his sister get on the boat and follow her.

In August, the third and fourth members of the Zhang family had already gone to Tongcheng with their family members. When they arrived home safely, Zhang Tingyu was also relieved, but what followed was Lord Kangxi's sixth southern tour.

The time is set in the first month of the 46th year, which is set at the end of this year.

The accompanying princes are the elder brother, the prince, the thirteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.

Originally, when he heard that the prince was going to go, Gu Huaixiu was unhappy, but the more "gracious" was still to come, the emperor once again gave Zhang Tingyu a retinue to bring his family and let him reunite with Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying is really old, and half of his body is buried in the soil. Kangxi is also considered a benevolent monarch. Knowing that Zhang Tingyu has a lot of business in Beijing, he can't spare time to see it. He took the opportunity of the southern tour to reunite his family. .

Zhang Tingyu wondered if it's time to close the net on Shen Yang's side.

Just go down this year to see the situation in Jiangnan before making a decision.

As for taking my brother...

Zhang Tingyu put the notebook written to the emperor on the table and closed his eyes.

"Huaixiu, do you think I can still put away my net?"

"Only we know his criminal evidence. Whether it can be accepted depends on whether you can find someone to testify against him."

Gu Huaishu was sitting by the bed playing chess, his tone was unhurried.

It's just that she knows that this pawn has long been put down.

The strange thing is that Shen Qi never pulled out this chess piece, this hidden nail.
