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

Chapter 196 Hanako
After returning from the bridge, Gu Huaishu asked someone to deliver a message to Li Wei, saying that he was leaving first.

She went back to the other courtyard and saw Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tinglu playing chess, but Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu were watching from the sidelines, which was unexpected.

Going up to see Li, Gu Huaishu was about to leave, but he glanced at the chessboard by chance, the chess was fine, but Zhang Ying had a strange expression.

It's not easy for her to ask directly, these people believe in watching chess without saying a word.

When he was about to turn around the courtyard, Zhang Ying suddenly sighed: "In the past, I often saw your elder brother playing chess. He always likes to siege with one move, and eats one move all over the world. He tried it repeatedly..."

The words behind were already inaudible.

As Gu Huaishu was walking, he saw Zhang Ruoai who was sitting on the porch reading a book in front of him, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"

"The weather outside is nice and the scenery is nice, so I came out to have a look." Zhang Ruoai put down the book and said suddenly, "Mother went to Shenyuan, did you see Brother Li Wei?"

"He has a character now, and his name is Youxu. Brother Li Wei or Brother Li Wei, be careful when he turns around and beats you."

Gu Huaishu laughed, and also sat in front. It was rare for him to be leisurely, so he simply listened to Zhang Ruoai's endorsement.

The entire Jiangning Bieyuan exudes the tranquility of a small family, and few people know that the people living here are actually wealthy families.

The maids were very careful when they walked around, lest they go around and endorse Brother Ai.

Peng Shi over there wanted to go forward, but when he saw Gu Huaishu and Zhang Ruoai, he backed away.

After Zhang Ruoai finished reciting the second half of the book, Mrs. Peng cautiously moved forward.

Gu Huaixiu has been busy for the past few days, so he didn't have time to see him when he asked.

Mrs. Peng didn't dare to come, and today she finally saw Gu Huaishu coming back, and there were not many masters watching, so I wanted to talk about it.

Zhang Ruoai also saw Mrs. Peng, so she got up and called "Fourth Aunt". Seeing that the adults seemed to have something to say, he said that he went into the house to practice calligraphy. Gu Huaixiu told Qing Dai to follow him, and then he looked away Peng's.

Looking at Peng Shi this time, he didn't have the usual frivolous appearance, Gu Huaishu said, "Come and sit down, don't hold yourself back."

"I thought I couldn't see my second sister-in-law today, so I asked the maid and said she went to Shen Yuan, but I didn't expect to see her again now..." Mrs. Peng didn't know what she was going to say, so she finally managed it and said, "I just I want to apologize to my second sister-in-law, last year... I was ignorant... I made my second sister-in-law work so hard for a while, and..."

Now Mrs. Peng has nothing to rely on.

Peng Weixin just wanted to use her.

Even if you didn't understand it back then, what else do you don't understand now?

Peng Bingying figured it out, the water splashed by her married daughter would not do her any good if she got into a fight with Gu Huaixiu.

What Peng Weixin said was not wrong. The intention was not good, but the reasoning was right.

"Second sister-in-law has a lot of..."

Now that Gu Huaishu knew that she still had a low face, he just patted her hand and said with a smile, "How can one family talk like this? Now that you understand it, I'll tell you the truth. Our family , is a high school for generations, you once asked why the fourth brother can't take the exam in Shuntian, but in fact he can, but he is afraid of violating the emperor's taboo. Every step in the family has to be counted. When you didn't enter the door, It's the father-in-law and elder brother who are counting, the elder brother unfortunately passed away, the father-in-law also begged for retirement and retired from the temple, so the affairs in the mansion are all in the hands of the second master."

Zhang Tingyu also worked very hard.

In fact, why wasn't Zhang Tingzan back then?
At first they were unwilling to be suppressed like this, one was because of the Wu family at that time, and the other was because of themselves.

But now that Zhang Tingyu is also in the position of his elder brother and father, how could he dare to act recklessly?
If the brothers below have any complaints, Gu Huaixiu naturally understands, the third master and the fourth master never complained, it's just that Mrs. Peng thought too much because of Peng Weixin's problem.

Seeing that Mrs. Peng hadn't spoken, she said again: "At the beginning, the fourth master suddenly said that he wanted to marry you. I thought it was a talented couple. You have to be impetuous. People are changing, you have changed, don't blame me for making things difficult for you. Similarly, you can see clearly what your brother has become now?"

As soon as Peng Weixin was mentioned, Mrs. Peng couldn't help it.

She pressed the corners of her eyes with a veil, a little choked up, and when she thought about the back and forth of that incident, she understood this brother clearly.

"He plunged headlong into the field of fame and fortune, and never came back..."

When setting up a game for Zhang Tingyu to dance, it's not that Mrs. Peng did not hesitate, but because of her daughter's reputation, her brother persuaded her with all kinds of good words, so she agreed.

At the beginning, he kept saying that he was good for her, but now?
Once the matter was completed, once she wanted to go back, she was pushed back to the original place by his brother, extremely tough.

Peng Weixin was also a strange existence.

Gu Huaishu remembered that he was admitted by his own ability, at least he never passed Zhang Tingyu's side.

Seeing Peng's crying so much now, besides pity for her, Gu Huaishu has other thoughts.

"Maybe he doesn't want to come back at all. If he doesn't come back, what does it matter to you?"

"He's my brother."

Peng replied subconsciously.

Then, Gu Huaishu just looked at her with a half-smile.

Peng immediately remembered all the things from the past, and knew what Gu Huaishu's eyes meant.

She lowered her head and said, "Second sister-in-law, Bingying understands..."

"It's good if you understand it, and you can clarify it later."

Gu Huaixiu looked at her as if after this round of turmoil, she understood a lot. As for how they live and grind their lives in the future, Gu Huaixiu doesn't care.

Peng Weixin can use his sister, but Zhang's family can't use his own daughter-in-law here?

It's all one person, and it's easy to send out news.

Once you understand something, you may not be able to do it transparently, and it depends on Peng himself whether it can be done.

Gu Huaishu persuaded Feng Shi here before going back to the house.

She took a pen and paper and counted the days on it. The Emperor Luanjia was probably going to leave the capital. This time he was going to pay a visit to the Ming Taizu's Mausoleum, so the Zhang brothers naturally followed.

After paying homage to the mausoleum tomorrow, people should leave.

Zhang Ruoai wanted to eat something fresh, so Xiaoshi went out to buy some aquatic products. They were all caught along the Qinhuai River, so he rowed a small boat and sold them on both sides of the river. The things were put on the bow, and the buyers would hit the head. take things.

Shi Fang knew this method before, he just asked people to use a long pole to light the water, and then leaned over to look at the fish, loach, and even shrimps placed on it...

He was thinking about making a bowl of fresh soup when he heard two boatmen talking nonsense on the opposite side.

"The emperor is going to sacrifice the mausoleum tomorrow...Why do you talk about it? It's boring."

"Bah, you dare to talk about the emperor? Be careful that you will be dragged out and hacked like that granddaughter of Emperor Zhu."

"What granddaughter of the emperor, how long has it been since the dynasty changed?"

"Didn't you hear that the front row was making trouble again? Monk Yi Nian talked about this and that, but there are still a group of people with him..."

"When gods fight, we mortals suffer."

"Hey, brother, do you want to buy it? I've been watching it for a long time!"

With his fingers, Shi Fang carefully picked out the big and good-looking shrimps from the pot of shrimps at the bow, and put them into his basket.

"Isn't this picking?"

"Why did you choose it like this? They are all sold by the catty, so there is no reason for you to choose a big one like this!" The boatman was also a fisherman, and he was immediately annoyed at the moment, and he came up to talk to Shi Fang, who didn't know what to do. theory.

But where does Shi Fang care about him?
What do you mean by being small?
He untied half a sling of money from his waist and threw it to the fisherman who was arguing not to do the business, and said: "Go and talk about yours, I will leave after I choose."

The fisherman just said: "I can't see that he is rich..."

These days, those who come to the river to buy shrimp have become rich, and the fishermen have seen it.

After Shi Fang finished picking the prawns, he was a little hesitant while carrying them.

The boatman next to him asked him, "Master Shi Fang, do you want to buy anything else?"

"...Go ahead and buy two fatter fish."

Shi Fang slowly put down the basket, stooped to fetch a ladle of water from the river, and put the bamboo basket woven from bamboo strips into the ceramic bare basin next to it, and soaked it in the water.

The shrimps we picked were originally live shrimps, so we couldn't let them die, so Shi Fang took good care of them.

The whole river knows that Kangxi will go to visit the mausoleum tomorrow. How many years have passed since Ming Taizu died, and now Kangxi is still organizing these famous halls.

Some people think that Kangxi is a wise emperor, so naturally some people say that he is stupid in private.

Today, some people came to activities under the banner of the third prince Zhu, saying that a monk in his seventies and eighties came out and said that he was the third prince Zhu. The upper court also received the news, but Kangxi still decided to go to Yeling. He originally planned to see all these things. What kind of troubles can people make.

Shi Fang only listened to what they said, and still let people row the boat around.

"You said that this old Zhu's family deserved to be ruined?"

"A good emperor, what kind of carpenter do you run out to be?"

"What do you know, we want to sit on the thing that the emperor sits on, and the emperor also wants to do our job?"

"Haha... you are so beautiful!"

The royal family of the Ming Dynasty was indeed not so reliable.

Carpenter emperor Zhu Youjian...

Shi Fang looked at the fish he had just picked up, and asked, "Are there any more lively ones?"

"It has been placed on the bow of the boat for a long time, no matter how alive the fish is, you can pour water on it when you turn around, and it will still be alive if you keep it."

The fish seller quickly assured Shi Fang.

Shi Fang glanced at him a few times, and finally put down the fish that was about to die, and turned back to tell the boatman to continue rowing.

What he wants is the kind of fish that has been caught almost fresh from the river, alive and kicking, so that he can go back to make fish soup, which is delicious and the meat is alive.

All the way to the Reed Bay of the Qinhuai River, I walked around, bought a lot of things, picked two good fish, and then the boat gradually slid forward to the shore.

The boatman helped Shi Fang move all the fresh water goods back to the kitchen in the other courtyard, and after receiving the reward money, Shi Fang started cooking.

The next day, Zhang Ying and others followed Kangxi to Yeling. They originally set up a trap for the rebels, but they didn't expect that the rebels who had already been detected by others dispersed in one night and disappeared without a trace.

Although there was nothing dangerous about Kangxi Yeling's mausoleum, he got angry just after returning to the boat.

A large number of officers and soldiers are ready, just waiting for someone to assassinate the emperor, and they will catch them all, so as to catch the third prince Zhu. Unexpectedly, for some reason, all those people escaped!

Okay, how could those chaotic parties suddenly leave?

Kangxi concluded that there was an internal traitor on the court, and someone had been bribed by the rebellious party, so the news leaked out, so he ordered a strict investigation from top to bottom.

It's a pity that in the end, no clues were found.

In the afternoon, Shi Fang just came back from the street, saw an old beggar squatting outside the courtyard, so he said casually: "This is not a place for you to squat, I will give you some money, go to another place."

As he spoke, he took out a few big coins from his pocket and put them in front of the beggar.

The old beggar held a broken bowl, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and then looked at the few big coins in front of his eyes, "Good-hearted people, good-hearted people will have a safe life..."

a peaceful life.

Shi Fang closed his eyes, turned around and walked towards the yard with his hands full of vegetables.

Qing Dai also happened to come back from the Sunflower Garden, and said: "You are still so kind-hearted now, even the flowers on the roadside can stop you in your tracks."

Shi Fang smiled shyly: "Back then, I was rescued by my wife's sudden kindness. Now I just do a favor, maybe it can help others too?"

Looking back at the old Huazi, Qing Dai also felt pity: "Look at him with a cane, and his legs are not very agile, it's really pitiful..."

Shi Fang just smiled: "Poor people must be hated..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Qing Dai was also stunned, and looked at Shi Fang.

Shi Fang only said: "I've been fluent in what people say, so..."

Qingdai did remember it, like after "the flowers have faded and the red and green apricots are small", Shi Fang habitually answered Nalan Qinhua's sentence "the cherries are red and the plantains are green" according to the rhythm.

She only laughed at his imprudence, and turned around and put the sugar as salt.

Shi Fang didn't speak, just smiled.

After entering the courtyard gate, Qing Dai went to look back at her sleeves, and Shi Fang went to the kitchen.

Seeing that Qing Dai came in with a smile, Gu Huaixiu asked, "I went out to do some errands today, didn't I pick up some money?"

Seeing Gu Huaishu, Qing Dai suddenly became emotional, and sighed: "Today I saw Shi Fang give a few coins to a Huazi outside, Shi Fang told the servant that he remembered the thing you saved him back then, and the servant counted, It's been many years..."

Isn't it many years?
Gu Huaishu thought about it for himself, and also lowered his head and smiled.

"But he gave Hanako alms, how can it compare with me saving him?"

Xiao Shifang's life was hanged back by Gu Huaishu with ginseng, she still feels distressed when she thinks of Yin Zi.

Speaking of it, people put too much energy into something or a certain thing, and they don't want to let it out.

The emperor also asked Shi Fang to cook food this year, but Shi Fang was reluctant to go, saying that he was afraid that Gu Huaixiu would not want him.

In fact, she was afraid that Kangxi would steal her cook.

"Even if you cover the stone, you should cover the heat... This kid didn't like to talk back then, well, he doesn't like it very much now."

After she finished speaking, she felt that what she said was all nonsense, she laughed for a while, and looked up to see Zhang Tingyu coming in, rubbing his eyebrows: "I heard that the emperor is angry?"
