[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder
Chapter 399 Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
Everyone had dinner together that night, Taishi Hua and Wen Zhengming had similar topics, and there was almost endless talk.Next to Chen Xiaosheng, Hua Wenwu kept asking questions about the invention, quite like forgetting to eat and sleep.Qiuxiang has been told that she will be let go. During the dinner, her eyes were red, and she and Mrs. Taishi are like a mother and daughter who are about to be separated. Their emotions are touching.And Zhou Wenbin would tell everyone an interesting story about Persia from time to time, which made everyone laugh constantly, and virtually narrowed the distance between them and the Taishi family.
Su Xueyun had already said too much in front of the grand master that day. Although it was well-founded, in this feudal dynasty, it was still not appropriate for a woman to stand out too much.Although Su Xueyun has the ability to stand out, she doesn't need to make fun of herself in front of the stubborn grand master.So in the end, she was the one who talked the least, and this quietness made Hua Taishi appreciate her a lot in his heart.
By the time they left, Taishi Hua already had a good idea of the abilities of each of them, and was very happy to have so many capable people serving the court. He directly promised to solve the exam qualification for Zhou Wenbin, and expressed his optimism for Wen Zhengming. The number one scholar in high school gave him several copies of his cherished books.
Wen Zhengming was greatly encouraged by the approval of the grand master in the court, and he became more motivated to take the imperial examination. As soon as he left the grand master's mansion, he wished to go back and read at night with the lights on.Naturally, Zhou Wenbin was also very grateful to Grand Master Hua, but he had a new understanding of the affairs of the court in his heart. The life and death of ordinary people are controlled by the words of the superiors.
When they returned home, Zhu Xiaolian rushed up to ask how things were going.After Su Xueyun talked to her about it, she went to tidy up Qiuxiang's room.While helping, Zhu Xiaolian asked what was going on in the Grand Master's mansion. Later, she heard that Mrs. Tai Shi didn't want Qiuxiang to redeem her body, so she frowned, puzzled, and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, as you said before, the grand master He and his wife are very kind, and they treat Qiuxiang as their own child, so they have no reason to hold on to Qiuxiang's contract of sale, for Qiuxiang's sake, it's better to be free than a maid, right?"
Su Xueyun spread the new quilt on the bed, and said lightly: "Madam Taishi really loves Qiuxiang, and she is really kind, but people have weaknesses. She has been avoiding the matter of Qiuxiang's redemption before. At first it was because she didn't know my character and wanted to see me with her own eyes. But when I went to visit the Grand Master's Mansion yesterday, in order to draw out the matter of Wen Bin, I inevitably said a little more, so the Grand Master and Mrs. Taishi knew about your brother's ability, so they suppressed the matter of Qiuxiang, and wanted to make a decision after examining your brother today. No, Mrs. Taishi heard that Mrs. Hua allowed Young Master Hua to research and invent So she immediately wanted to use Qiuxiang's contract of selling herself to restrain us, and she was willing to let her go only when I promised to let your brother and Master Hua study together."
Zhu Xiaolian frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know! Master Hua doesn't like literature or martial arts, he only likes research and invention, and this kind of knowledge can't find a teacher. Now they find that my brother understands it very well, so they just I want my brother to teach Hua Wenwu everything he knows, but I am afraid that my brother will not want to accompany the young master to study, so I simply use Qiuxiang's contract of sale to restrain us, so my brother has to agree!" She threw the rag on the table , and said angrily, "I thought they were rare and good people, but I didn't expect them to be so thoughtful! If my brother was not willing to teach Master Hua, wouldn't Qiuxiang be implicated innocently?"
Su Xueyun smiled nonchalantly: "What is this? They never thought of hurting any of us from the beginning to the end. They are already rare good people. Just now I said that human beings have weaknesses, the weaknesses of the grand master and his wife It is Young Master Hua. They are old enough to have children, and they are most worried that no one will take care of Young Master Hua after they pass away, so they try every means to let Young Master Hua stand up on his own. In the past, they were able to do good things for their son, and now they can bully and lure him for his son. Xiao Lian, there are unfair things everywhere in this world, from the court to the common people, there are very few people who have never done a single wrong thing in their lives. When we encounter it, we will encounter it. Complaining is useless. Find a way to solve it. Now that Qiuxiang's contract of selling his life has been returned, your brother will be escorted by the Grand Master's Office for any inventions he wants to research. It can be said that everyone is happy. If this is the case, we don't need to care about the Grand Master's wife's little thoughts."
Zhu Xiaolian thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand sister-in-law, you are so kind, my brother and I used to be the only ones in the family, no one taught me this at all."
"It's not too late to teach now, it's all simple truths, you've heard it and kept it in your heart, so you won't panic when you encounter anything in the future." Su Xueyun arranged the tea set on the table, looked around, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll pick up Qiuxiang tomorrow morning, let's go to bed early today."
Zhu Xiaolian nodded and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, rest early, I will go with you tomorrow, and I will have company at home from now on."
Seeing that Zhu Xiaolian didn't reject Qiuxiang joining the family at all, Su Xueyun smiled in relief.After returning to the room, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off the hairpin. She didn't hear Chen Xiaosheng speak for a while, but when she looked back, the man was holding a book in a daze.
Su Xueyun parted her hair, changed into obscene clothes, walked up to Chen Xiaosheng, shook her hand, and said with a smile, "Why are you so preoccupied?"
Chen Xiaosheng came back to his senses, pulled her onto the bed, and said with some confusion: "Xueyun, we will meet some people who look the same in every life, just like Wen Bin and Cheng Feng, I just saw him At the time, I thought he deserved a beating, but at least he is an outsider, right? I didn’t feel much like it. But I saw Mrs. Taishi today... Do you know that feeling?"
Su Xueyun took his hand and comforted him: "I know, the second sister is our sister-in-law, she treats us so well, she treats us like children, and worries about us everywhere. Even if there are other relatives in these years, there is no one like the second sister. My sister cares about us so much, I know."
Chen Xiaosheng patted the bed, "Yes, although she has a high status now, she not only looks the same as the second sister, but also has a very similar personality. Seeing Mrs. Taishi feels like seeing a remarried woman. Second sister, when I face Master Hua, I don't know how to treat him, it's really a delicate mood."
Su Xueyun patted his hand lightly, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Take her as a close person. I haven't told you yet, King Ning has a step-wife who looks as close as Shuyuan It's exactly the same. But she is not a good person in this life. Not only did she piss off Pin Ting's biological mother, but she also often blows pillow wind to make Pin Ting trip up. What do you think we should do when we see her? Simply treat her as a stranger who doesn't know her. When we arrive, we will get to know each other again, if we get along, we will see each other more, if we don’t get along, let’s forget it, what do you think?”
Chen Xiaosheng held Su Xueyun's hand tightly, and sighed slowly, "Actually, I understand the truth, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable seeing my second sister suddenly today." He turned his head to look at Su Xueyun, and suddenly remembered the relationship they had just met. At that time, they also looked like this at that time, and the changes of these hundreds of years seemed like a dream.
Chen Xiaosheng lay down with Su Xueyun in his arms, and said softly: "You are right, you are enough for me, go to sleep."
Su Xueyun leaned in the familiar embrace, dreamless all night, and after breakfast the next day, she and Zhu Xiaolian went to Taishi Mansion to pick up Qiuxiang.As soon as the porter saw her, he smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, you are here? Our wife is waiting for you, please."
Su Xueyun nodded with a smile, gave him a piece of silver, and took Zhu Xiaolian into the grand master's mansion to meet the grand master's wife. After entering the flower hall, she found that the grand master's wife had been well-dressed and looked like she was about to go out, so she immediately said: "Ma'am Are you going out? Did I disturb Madam? Why don't I come back later. "
Mrs. Taishi waved her hands and smiled, "It's not that I want to go out, it's that we go out together."
"Us?" Su Xueyun looked surprised, and looked at Qiuxiang inquiringly.
Qiuxiang smiled and said: "Today I will leave Taishi's mansion to live with my sister. My wife took pity on me and said she would take me to the temple to burn incense and bless me in the future. There are also many happy events in the mansion recently. , Madame wants to fulfill her wish."
Mrs. Taishi nodded, stood up and took Su Xueyun's hand and smiled: "Qiuyue, you don't know how much I have worked hard for that child Wenwu, and I don't know how much hair I lost. Fortunately, I met you and Zhishan, you and Qiuxiang She is the lucky star of my Hua family. Before Qiuxiang leaves today, let’s go to the temple to pay respects and pay more money for sesame oil. I hope everything goes well in the future.”
Su Xueyun smiled clearly: "So it's like this, we didn't prepare anything when we went out, and Madam Lao helped to prepare."
"You don't need to worry about this little thing, just go at ease," Mrs. Tai Shi patted Su Xueyun's hand, then turned her head and looked at Zhu Xiaolian with a smile, and asked, "Is this Zhishan's younger sister? She was born as a sign, see He is also well-behaved and clever, he is a lucky one."
Zhu Xiaolian was blessed, and smiled politely: "Mrs. Xie praised me, my sister-in-law is the lucky one, and I have a lot to learn from my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Taishi nodded with a smile, called Qiuxiang and said: "You two are about the same age, and you are both girls who have not left the court. You should get along well in the future and learn from Qiuyue. She is a capable person. Women don't give up. I, Lan Hongyu, like girls like this!"
Zhu Xiaolian and Qiuxiang should be blessed, and Dongxiang came to report that everything was ready for the trip, so they straightened their clothes and went out together.Qiuxiang is no longer the maid of the Grand Master's Mansion. The Taishi's wife wanted her to ride in the carriage behind with Su Xueyun and Zhu Xiaolian, but Qiuxiang said that everything should be done from the beginning to the end, and she wanted to serve the Taishi's wife for the last time. Let her go.
The former Xia Xiang who stole money and her accomplices were expelled from the Grand Master's residence, but later Xia Xiang often went back to the Taishi's residence to admit her mistakes and beg for mercy. After a while, the four major servant girls of spring, summer, autumn and winter followed Taishi's wife's sedan chair.A group of people from Taishifu went to the temple to offer incense. The four maids each carried a basket full of red envelopes. They walked all the way and distributed the red envelopes to the people nearby. Praise the grand master and his wife for their kindness.
Zhu Xiaolian opened a corner of the sedan chair curtain and looked out, surprised and said: "It seems that the grand master is very famous among the people, sister-in-law, look at Qiuxiang, they are all very grateful to Qiuxiang. But some men have messy eyes Turn around and keep staring at Qiuxiang."
Su Xueyun sighed, "So you can't be a servant at any time, no matter how beautiful you are, you still lack respect in the eyes of others. Now they call Qiuxiang "Sister Qiuxiang" just because Qiuxiang is a big maid in Taishifu. If something happens to Qiuxiang in the future Being demoted to a little maid with no status, these people will treat her as an inferior person who can be treated at will."
Zhu Xiaolian looked at Su Xueyun in surprise, "So serious?"
Su Xueyun said: "It's normal to step on the high and praise the low, and there are very few people who can be sincere to others. Qiuxiang has been a maid since she was a child, and she was taught to be a servant. She is the kind who is afraid of bugs. The teaching of secretly swallowing worms."
Zhu Xiaolian opened her mouth, and looking at Qiuxiang who was smiling outside, she was a little speechless.
Su Xueyun closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage, and said: "Although Qiuxiang has no worries about food and clothing these years, and others compliment her, what she has learned is all nonsense. But it doesn't matter, Qiuxiang will live with us in the future, There won't be any more of these things, let's treat today as the last day, so that she won't feel uneasy and feel like she has inherited the favor of the Grand Master's Mansion."
Zhu Xiaolian nodded, couldn't bear to look at Qiuxiang again, so she put down the curtain and sat quietly like Su Xueyun.
Qiuxiang didn't know her sister's worries about her outside, and she happily distributed bonus envelopes to everyone, no matter men, women, young or old, or whether the other party was dirty or not, she smiled and did not dislike her at all.Hearing everyone praised the Taishifu's servants for their good manners, she laughed even more happily, and she just wanted to do something for the Taishifu finally, even if it was just to win a little bit of good reputation.
Tang Bohu was walking on the side. Hearing the commotion here, he couldn't help but look around. He was stunned when he saw Qiuxiang smiling down, "Qiuxiang?"
The person next to him said: "That's right, it's Qiuxiang from Huataishifu, and Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, and Dongxiang over there. The maids in Taishifu are all beautiful and have a good figure. But if you want me to say it's Qiuxiang The best life, people want to see it after seeing it, but that Xia Xiang is ugly as hell, and I don't know how she got into the Grand Master's wife."
The others echoed, laughing and criticizing the maids.Tang Bohu glanced at them and said, "It's not good for you big men to talk about other girls here?"
The person next to him glanced at him contemptuously, shook his head and said, "Another prudish nerd, I don't believe you don't want to look at Qiuxiang in your heart, look at how many people on the street are looking at Qiuxiang, what's wrong with saying a few words? Aren't their maids coming out just for people to see?"
Tang Bohu suddenly remembered that Su Xueyun warned him not to judge her and the people around her, and then looked at the men talking around, he shook his head and sneered, laughing at Su Xueyun's innocence, even if he didn't say anything, wouldn't there be so many people around? explain?
After Lu Zhaorong finished shopping at the stall, he couldn't find Tang Bohu when he turned around. He squeezed through the crowd for a long time before he saw him, and hurriedly said, "Bohu, I've finished shopping. Let's go to the temple quickly. There are so many people here. It will be annoying if you go late."
Tang Bohu said reluctantly: "There are so many people, we don't want to go, what's the point of crowding?"
Lu Zhaorong said with a smile: "Then my body has been recuperated. After so many years, I can finally have a healthy body. It is simply the blessing of the Buddha. How can I do it without worshiping God? I thought I would never have the opportunity to be a mother in this life." I didn’t expect to be healed by Miracle Doctor Hua, I’m really thankful, I must go to worship the gods to thank the gods for their blessings, and when I return to Suzhou, I will reward Miracle Doctor Hua with a big gift.”
Tang Bohu said without hesitation: "Then let's go." He turned his head and looked at Qiuxiang again, through Qiuxiang he seemed to be able to see Qiuyue's gentle smile, and he twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly.If Lu Zhaorong could conceive back then, wouldn't father have forced him to take a concubine to stay behind?Wouldn't this happen between him and Qiuyue?It would be great if Qiuyue could be as gentle as Qiuxiang, at least don't hit him every now and then, cut off all kindness at every turn, and never communicate with each other until death.
Lu Zhaorong talked for a while, then turned around and found that Tang Bohu was not in high spirits, and gradually calmed down, he couldn't tell whether he should be happy for his health recovery, or sad because Tang Bohu treated her as his sister.
In this way, everyone entered the temple with their own thoughts, and everyone in the Taishi Mansion took care of everything according to the usual practice.Mrs. Taishi knelt down and worshiped three times piously, and added a large amount of sesame oil money to the host.The presiding master said: "The grand master's wife has a kind heart, and the Buddha will definitely bless your son's safety and longevity."
Mrs. Grand Master liked to hear this, she smiled and bowed to the host, "Then I will borrow a good word from Master."
The host master continued: "Mrs. Grand Master, the vegetarian dishes are ready, please move to the backyard and use them slowly."
Madam Taishi nodded politely, and Qiuxiang hurriedly said: "Madam, you go in first, I will ask for a lottery for you."
Mrs. Taishi smiled and said: "Okay, you used to beg for me. Today I will borrow your blessing for the last time and ask for a good lottery for me. After you are done begging, you can find me in the backyard. Remember that you are no longer a maid." That’s right, a lot of things can be handed over to others.”
Qiuxiang nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am. Elder sister, Xiaolian, you also go to the backyard with Mrs. Taishi, I'll be over soon."
Su Xueyun warned: "There are many people today, you should be careful, and remember to call the servant if you have anything to do."
"I know my sister." Qiuxiang urged them to go to the backyard to rest, and then took the lottery and knelt on the futon to earnestly ask for a lottery.
Tang Bohu and Lu Zhaorong walked to the door, and Lu Zhaorong said: "Oh, I forgot to buy something. I'm so dishonest. No, I'll buy it back. Fortunately, there are also temples that sell it so you don't have to go too far. Bohu, Just wait for me here, so you don't get so tired from walking around."
Tang Bohu nodded and said: "Then you go and come back quickly, let's go back after worshiping the gods."
Lu Zhaorong smiled, then turned around and walked away quickly.Tang Bohu had nothing to do, so he casually walked in the door and looked around, and suddenly saw Qiuxiang kneeling there begging for a lottery.Seeing that Qiuxiang was alone, he stepped forward and smiled, "Miss Qiuxiang, what a coincidence? I saw you paying for the grand teacher's wife to offer incense just now. I didn't expect to meet you here. Why are you alone?"
Qiuxiang looked up at him, frowned, and ignored him.
Tang Bohu couldn't help but asked, "Miss Qiuxiang, why don't you talk? We met, don't you remember? My name is Tang Bohu, from Suzhou. I came to Beijing with Lao Zhu to take the exam not long ago. Last time you and I I was there when your sister met, do you remember?"
Qiuxiang still ignored him.
Tang Bohu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Qiuxiang, did you misunderstand me? Did your sister tell you something? I can't explain the matter between me and your sister. Anyway, it's not so It's simple, and your sister has a bad temper and knows martial arts, so you know I'm not capable of bullying her, right?"
Qiuxiang picked up a lottery that fell on the ground, and said blankly: "I advise you not to lie in front of the Buddha, or you will suffer retribution." After she finished speaking, she continued to ask for the second lottery.
Tang Bohu said unhappily: "What retribution? Why are you talking so viciously like your sister? What kind of retribution did I suffer? I didn't tell a single lie. You don't understand me at all. You judge me based on your sister's words. Isn't it too unreasonable? How do you know what your sister said is true? Even in court, you have to give the defendant a chance to explain, right?"
Qiuxiang picked up the second lottery and said impatiently, "What kind of person are you? I'm not interested at all. Please stay away from me. You're disturbing me to ask for a lottery."
"You tell me to stay away from you, I want to be closer to you!" Tang Bohu lifted his robe and knelt on the futon next to Qiuxiang, turned to look at her and said, "You obviously have different temperaments from your sister, Why do you have to be so cold like her? You were able to smile so gently to beggars on the street before, why are you so indifferent to me? You are not fair!"
Tang Bohu was too close, and when he spoke, the heat sprayed on Qiuxiang's face, which made Qiuxiang very annoyed.She wanted to move to the side, but the skirt was pressed by Tang Bohu's knees, Qiu Xiang frowned and pulled her skirt hard.But Tang Bohu saw that instead of letting go, he pressed the hem of the skirt even harder, and said rascally: "If you don't give me a chance to explain today, I won't get up."
Qiuxiang glared at him, and accelerated the shaking of the stick in her hand.Tang Bohu thought she had compromised, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiuxiang, Qiuyue and I are actually playing tricks on people. I didn't understand it at the beginning. My father forced me to marry a girl back, so I gave the family heirloom to you." I asked Qiuyue to marry her, and I sincerely asked her to marry her. Later, some misunderstandings occurred, and Qiuyue had a big temper. She scolded me and broke the engagement without giving me a chance. My good brother is engaged! Miss Qiuxiang, can you understand how I feel? Yes, Qiuyue has suffered a lot, but that is not what I let her suffer. How do I know that it will be so difficult for her to be with me? What about it? She didn’t tell me, and then she blamed me afterwards. What’s the reason for this, Qiuxiang, tell me..."
Qiuxiang raised her hand and slapped him on the face. When he was stunned, she pushed him away and stood up, snorting coldly, "You never said sorry to my sister, but I only heard that you were selfish and not at all. For the sake of my sister. There have been some misunderstandings? What misunderstanding? You misunderstood my sister as clothes or your father disliked my sister? My sister suffers for you, but you feel that it has nothing to do with you. Could it be that my sister Do you deserve to suffer? If you really treat her as your fiancée, you should protect her instead of pushing everything on her. You are still the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can say such words? You really don’t know what it means!"
Qiuxiang had already asked for three lottery sticks, put the lottery holder back to its original place, and turned around to leave.Tang Bohu immediately got up and called her to stop, "Stop! Are you Qiuxiang or Qiuyue? Qiuxiang is very gentle, how could she hit someone just because she said she wanted to? You are Qiuyue, right? You dressed up as Qiuxiang and sneaked into Hua Taishi's mansion What to do? If you don't apologize to me, I will expose you and make you unable to do anything."
Qiuxiang stopped in her tracks and looked back at him incredulously, "You can't even tell my sister from me, yet you still dare to say you like my sister? I've met my brother-in-law several times, and he didn't admit to him once, just by You are not as good as my brother-in-law in this regard, no wonder my sister didn't choose you, you are inexplicable, you are not even as good as a child!"
Tang Bohu became annoyed and said, "What are you talking about?! How can I not compare to Lao Zhu? Since I was a child, I have been the most popular among the three treasures in Suzhou. All the women in Suzhou want to marry me. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It's cute for a woman to lose her temper, but it's annoying if it's too much. We've just met and don't know each other. I'll explain to you patiently and you won't listen. You curse and hit me. You are the one Inexplicable, unreasonable!"
Qiu Xiang hurriedly glanced at the Buddha statue, and said angrily, "No wonder my sister hates you so much, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the Buddha, you are such a person that people don't even want to look at you!"
When the two servants heard the voice was wrong, they came over and asked, "Sister Qiuxiang, what's the matter?"
Qiu Xiang pointed at Tang Bohu, "This prodigal son interrupts me to ask for a lottery for my wife, so give him a good lesson, and teach him that not everyone can mess with us in Hua Taishi's residence!"
The two servants responded in unison, "Yes, sister Qiuxiang, don't worry, the little one will be remembered forever!"
Qiu Xiang looked at Tang Bohu, snorted coldly, turned around and went to undo the lottery.Tang Bohu shouted at her back: "Hey, stop and explain clearly to me."
"Boy, if you want to tell Sister Qiuxiang to stop, you have to climb to a higher seat than Sister Qiuxiang. Now that you offend Sister Qiuxiang, you will be beaten honestly!" The two servants dragged him to the In the corner outside, this one punched him, that one kicked him, this one threw him over the shoulder, and that one threw him over the top.The two beat Tang Bohu like a sandbag, and with Qiuxiang's confession, they were merciless and struck with extreme force.Tang Bohu screamed out from the beating, and was immediately gagged by the two of them. He could only keep humming, hoping to attract others to help him.
It's not that there are people who saw this scene, but people also know the clothes of Washington's servants. Because Washington has always acted according to the rules, everyone guessed that the one who was beaten must have done something wrong to anger Washington. Naturally, it was impossible to come forward save.
Lu Zhaorong came back from shopping and couldn't find Tang Bohu. She frowned, and suddenly felt that going out with Tang Bohu was several times more tiring than going out by herself. I am coming."
Lu Zhaorong looked around, and after a while, he found that the clothes of the beaten man in the corner looked familiar.She got a little closer and realized that the man was Tang Bohu. She was shocked and immediately threw away her things and ran up to stop him, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? Don't hit him, who are you? How dare you hit someone casually?"
The two servants didn't hold on to Tang Bohu's misery. They took a look at Tang Bohu's miserable situation, stopped and said, "You know him best, remember to tell him to keep his mouth clean in the future, not everyone he can tease. You are actually a disciple like a dog, bah, I don't know what it means!"
Lu Zhaorong immediately retorted, "You must have misunderstood someone, Bohu doesn't know how to tease people."
The two servants said disdainfully: "What we saw with our own eyes can be wrong? This is what Sister Qiuxiang personally ordered, that's enough, take him away quickly, don't spoil our wife's performance."
"Qiuxiang?" Lu Zhaorong was stunned when he heard the name, two identical faces appeared in his mind, and seeing Tang Bohu's bruised nose and swollen face, he felt mixed feelings.She took out the rag from Tang Bohu's mouth and said, "Don't you like Qiuyue? Why did you provoke Qiuxiang? Is it because they look alike?"
Tang Bohu said angrily: "I don't! Only ghosts would provoke such a tigress-like woman! You really can't look at someone by appearance, she looks so gentle, but she actually finds someone to beat me! Only women and villains are hard to raise, hmph! "
Lu Zhaorong lowered his eyes and listened quietly to his complaint without speaking.After a while, he supported Tang Bohu and walked out slowly, completely losing the mood to worship God and fulfill his vow.Tang Bohu was limping, and kept saying things like Su Xueyun and the sisters were unreasonable, as if he was extremely disgusted with them.But Lu Zhaorong couldn't be happy at all, because she cared about it all the time, Tang Bohu might not have noticed it herself, but she watched Tang Bohu grow up, and she clearly knew that Tang Bohu had put Su Xueyun in her heart.It was because Su Xueyun became his brother's wife that Tang Bohu forcibly suppressed this feeling, deceiving himself that he had let Su Xueyun go, but he couldn't help but pay attention to her, and in the end it seemed like an unreasonable entanglement, which aroused Su Xueyun's disgust.
Now that he can't get close to Su Xueyun, Tang Bohu can't help but get close to Qiu Xiang, isn't it because of that face?Lu Zhaorong glanced at Tang Bohu, and couldn't help but ask herself, is she really going to have children for this man?Will her children be happy?
For the first time since Lu Zhaorong married Tang Bohu, she wondered if the way she repayed her kindness was wrong. If I knew today, I shouldn't have voluntarily broken the curse for Tang Bohu just because the Tang family gave her food.Now that Tang Bohu has someone he likes, he never pays her any attention. Is it really okay for her to treat this person as her husband and have children with him?
Tang Bohu's eyes were bruised, the corners of his mouth were cut, his face was swollen, and his body was too bruised and bruised. As soon as he returned to the Six Arts Club, he shocked everyone, thinking they had been robbed.After Tang Bohu said that he was beaten by Qiuxiang, even Wen Zhengming didn't sympathize with him. Instead, he disapproved of his disturbing Qiuxiang and advised him not to approach Su Xueyun and Qiuxiang again.
Tang Bohu dissatisfiedly accused Qiuxiang of being unreasonable, but unfortunately no one agreed with him.Master Shen has always seen the world very clearly. Seeing Tang Bohu's expression of reluctance and reluctance, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It was intended to be a falling flower, but running water is ruthless. .It's late, it's late, if I knew today, why bother at the beginning, since it has already caused irreparable consequences, then don't bother others at all."
Tang Bohu wanted to refute, but the curator Shen had already gone to feed the chickens in the yard with foresight, Wen Zhengming and several students also went back to their rooms to study, only Lu Zhaorong was left.Just as Tang Bohu was about to speak, Lu Zhaorong got up and said that he was going to cook in the kitchen. Everyone left, and Tang Bohu didn't hit a single person with his wounds all over his body.Thinking of the two servants who said that they had to climb to a higher position than Qiuxiang to teach her a lesson, Tang Bohu began to think about it.
Just in the evening, two students came back and said that Washington was recruiting servants. Tang Bohu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately said that he was going to Washington to be a servant.Everyone was very surprised, those two students wanted to go there because they wanted to earn some money by the way, what did Tang Bohu's family do with such a rich family?Tang Bohu thought about their previous attitude, so he didn't mention Qiu Xiang, he just said that he wanted to observe what a high official looks like first, so as to prepare for his future appointment as an official.
Wen Zhengming thought to himself that Qiu Xiang had already redeemed herself, and Tang Bohu would not conflict with Su Xueyun and the others if he went, so he said nothing, neither supporting nor opposing.He was thinking about the good books that Taishi Hua gave him, and ran back to his room to read after eating a few mouthfuls. Lu Zhaorong has never been able to influence Tang Bohu's thoughts, and the others naturally have no objections.So Tang Bohu was gearing up to fight Qiuxiang. At night, he dreamed of Qiuxiang being made things difficult by him but unable to resist, and he woke up laughing from sleep.
At this time, Qiuxiang had already entered Zhu's house with her bundles. Su Xueyun showed her the location of the rooms in the house, and said with a smile: "The house is not as big as the Grand Master's Mansion, and there are no servants. You may not be used to it at first. Tell me anything, don't be polite at home."
Qiuxiang looked around cherishingly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, no matter how big the Grand Master's Mansion is, it is not my home. It is very nice here, and I like it very much. I finally have a family and relatives."
Su Xueyun held her hand and said softly: "Yes, from now on we will be a family, and we will face everything together, whether it's you or me, we won't be alone anymore."
Qiuxiang looked at Su Xueyun moved and said, "Thank you sister, thank you for finding me and giving me a home."
Su Xueyun smiled sincerely at her, rejoicing in her choice at the beginning, having such a twin sister who is connected by blood is also a kind of happiness, and she will always guard this happiness in the future.
Su Xueyun had already said too much in front of the grand master that day. Although it was well-founded, in this feudal dynasty, it was still not appropriate for a woman to stand out too much.Although Su Xueyun has the ability to stand out, she doesn't need to make fun of herself in front of the stubborn grand master.So in the end, she was the one who talked the least, and this quietness made Hua Taishi appreciate her a lot in his heart.
By the time they left, Taishi Hua already had a good idea of the abilities of each of them, and was very happy to have so many capable people serving the court. He directly promised to solve the exam qualification for Zhou Wenbin, and expressed his optimism for Wen Zhengming. The number one scholar in high school gave him several copies of his cherished books.
Wen Zhengming was greatly encouraged by the approval of the grand master in the court, and he became more motivated to take the imperial examination. As soon as he left the grand master's mansion, he wished to go back and read at night with the lights on.Naturally, Zhou Wenbin was also very grateful to Grand Master Hua, but he had a new understanding of the affairs of the court in his heart. The life and death of ordinary people are controlled by the words of the superiors.
When they returned home, Zhu Xiaolian rushed up to ask how things were going.After Su Xueyun talked to her about it, she went to tidy up Qiuxiang's room.While helping, Zhu Xiaolian asked what was going on in the Grand Master's mansion. Later, she heard that Mrs. Tai Shi didn't want Qiuxiang to redeem her body, so she frowned, puzzled, and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, as you said before, the grand master He and his wife are very kind, and they treat Qiuxiang as their own child, so they have no reason to hold on to Qiuxiang's contract of sale, for Qiuxiang's sake, it's better to be free than a maid, right?"
Su Xueyun spread the new quilt on the bed, and said lightly: "Madam Taishi really loves Qiuxiang, and she is really kind, but people have weaknesses. She has been avoiding the matter of Qiuxiang's redemption before. At first it was because she didn't know my character and wanted to see me with her own eyes. But when I went to visit the Grand Master's Mansion yesterday, in order to draw out the matter of Wen Bin, I inevitably said a little more, so the Grand Master and Mrs. Taishi knew about your brother's ability, so they suppressed the matter of Qiuxiang, and wanted to make a decision after examining your brother today. No, Mrs. Taishi heard that Mrs. Hua allowed Young Master Hua to research and invent So she immediately wanted to use Qiuxiang's contract of selling herself to restrain us, and she was willing to let her go only when I promised to let your brother and Master Hua study together."
Zhu Xiaolian frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know! Master Hua doesn't like literature or martial arts, he only likes research and invention, and this kind of knowledge can't find a teacher. Now they find that my brother understands it very well, so they just I want my brother to teach Hua Wenwu everything he knows, but I am afraid that my brother will not want to accompany the young master to study, so I simply use Qiuxiang's contract of sale to restrain us, so my brother has to agree!" She threw the rag on the table , and said angrily, "I thought they were rare and good people, but I didn't expect them to be so thoughtful! If my brother was not willing to teach Master Hua, wouldn't Qiuxiang be implicated innocently?"
Su Xueyun smiled nonchalantly: "What is this? They never thought of hurting any of us from the beginning to the end. They are already rare good people. Just now I said that human beings have weaknesses, the weaknesses of the grand master and his wife It is Young Master Hua. They are old enough to have children, and they are most worried that no one will take care of Young Master Hua after they pass away, so they try every means to let Young Master Hua stand up on his own. In the past, they were able to do good things for their son, and now they can bully and lure him for his son. Xiao Lian, there are unfair things everywhere in this world, from the court to the common people, there are very few people who have never done a single wrong thing in their lives. When we encounter it, we will encounter it. Complaining is useless. Find a way to solve it. Now that Qiuxiang's contract of selling his life has been returned, your brother will be escorted by the Grand Master's Office for any inventions he wants to research. It can be said that everyone is happy. If this is the case, we don't need to care about the Grand Master's wife's little thoughts."
Zhu Xiaolian thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand sister-in-law, you are so kind, my brother and I used to be the only ones in the family, no one taught me this at all."
"It's not too late to teach now, it's all simple truths, you've heard it and kept it in your heart, so you won't panic when you encounter anything in the future." Su Xueyun arranged the tea set on the table, looked around, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll pick up Qiuxiang tomorrow morning, let's go to bed early today."
Zhu Xiaolian nodded and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, rest early, I will go with you tomorrow, and I will have company at home from now on."
Seeing that Zhu Xiaolian didn't reject Qiuxiang joining the family at all, Su Xueyun smiled in relief.After returning to the room, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off the hairpin. She didn't hear Chen Xiaosheng speak for a while, but when she looked back, the man was holding a book in a daze.
Su Xueyun parted her hair, changed into obscene clothes, walked up to Chen Xiaosheng, shook her hand, and said with a smile, "Why are you so preoccupied?"
Chen Xiaosheng came back to his senses, pulled her onto the bed, and said with some confusion: "Xueyun, we will meet some people who look the same in every life, just like Wen Bin and Cheng Feng, I just saw him At the time, I thought he deserved a beating, but at least he is an outsider, right? I didn’t feel much like it. But I saw Mrs. Taishi today... Do you know that feeling?"
Su Xueyun took his hand and comforted him: "I know, the second sister is our sister-in-law, she treats us so well, she treats us like children, and worries about us everywhere. Even if there are other relatives in these years, there is no one like the second sister. My sister cares about us so much, I know."
Chen Xiaosheng patted the bed, "Yes, although she has a high status now, she not only looks the same as the second sister, but also has a very similar personality. Seeing Mrs. Taishi feels like seeing a remarried woman. Second sister, when I face Master Hua, I don't know how to treat him, it's really a delicate mood."
Su Xueyun patted his hand lightly, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Take her as a close person. I haven't told you yet, King Ning has a step-wife who looks as close as Shuyuan It's exactly the same. But she is not a good person in this life. Not only did she piss off Pin Ting's biological mother, but she also often blows pillow wind to make Pin Ting trip up. What do you think we should do when we see her? Simply treat her as a stranger who doesn't know her. When we arrive, we will get to know each other again, if we get along, we will see each other more, if we don’t get along, let’s forget it, what do you think?”
Chen Xiaosheng held Su Xueyun's hand tightly, and sighed slowly, "Actually, I understand the truth, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable seeing my second sister suddenly today." He turned his head to look at Su Xueyun, and suddenly remembered the relationship they had just met. At that time, they also looked like this at that time, and the changes of these hundreds of years seemed like a dream.
Chen Xiaosheng lay down with Su Xueyun in his arms, and said softly: "You are right, you are enough for me, go to sleep."
Su Xueyun leaned in the familiar embrace, dreamless all night, and after breakfast the next day, she and Zhu Xiaolian went to Taishi Mansion to pick up Qiuxiang.As soon as the porter saw her, he smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, you are here? Our wife is waiting for you, please."
Su Xueyun nodded with a smile, gave him a piece of silver, and took Zhu Xiaolian into the grand master's mansion to meet the grand master's wife. After entering the flower hall, she found that the grand master's wife had been well-dressed and looked like she was about to go out, so she immediately said: "Ma'am Are you going out? Did I disturb Madam? Why don't I come back later. "
Mrs. Taishi waved her hands and smiled, "It's not that I want to go out, it's that we go out together."
"Us?" Su Xueyun looked surprised, and looked at Qiuxiang inquiringly.
Qiuxiang smiled and said: "Today I will leave Taishi's mansion to live with my sister. My wife took pity on me and said she would take me to the temple to burn incense and bless me in the future. There are also many happy events in the mansion recently. , Madame wants to fulfill her wish."
Mrs. Taishi nodded, stood up and took Su Xueyun's hand and smiled: "Qiuyue, you don't know how much I have worked hard for that child Wenwu, and I don't know how much hair I lost. Fortunately, I met you and Zhishan, you and Qiuxiang She is the lucky star of my Hua family. Before Qiuxiang leaves today, let’s go to the temple to pay respects and pay more money for sesame oil. I hope everything goes well in the future.”
Su Xueyun smiled clearly: "So it's like this, we didn't prepare anything when we went out, and Madam Lao helped to prepare."
"You don't need to worry about this little thing, just go at ease," Mrs. Tai Shi patted Su Xueyun's hand, then turned her head and looked at Zhu Xiaolian with a smile, and asked, "Is this Zhishan's younger sister? She was born as a sign, see He is also well-behaved and clever, he is a lucky one."
Zhu Xiaolian was blessed, and smiled politely: "Mrs. Xie praised me, my sister-in-law is the lucky one, and I have a lot to learn from my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Taishi nodded with a smile, called Qiuxiang and said: "You two are about the same age, and you are both girls who have not left the court. You should get along well in the future and learn from Qiuyue. She is a capable person. Women don't give up. I, Lan Hongyu, like girls like this!"
Zhu Xiaolian and Qiuxiang should be blessed, and Dongxiang came to report that everything was ready for the trip, so they straightened their clothes and went out together.Qiuxiang is no longer the maid of the Grand Master's Mansion. The Taishi's wife wanted her to ride in the carriage behind with Su Xueyun and Zhu Xiaolian, but Qiuxiang said that everything should be done from the beginning to the end, and she wanted to serve the Taishi's wife for the last time. Let her go.
The former Xia Xiang who stole money and her accomplices were expelled from the Grand Master's residence, but later Xia Xiang often went back to the Taishi's residence to admit her mistakes and beg for mercy. After a while, the four major servant girls of spring, summer, autumn and winter followed Taishi's wife's sedan chair.A group of people from Taishifu went to the temple to offer incense. The four maids each carried a basket full of red envelopes. They walked all the way and distributed the red envelopes to the people nearby. Praise the grand master and his wife for their kindness.
Zhu Xiaolian opened a corner of the sedan chair curtain and looked out, surprised and said: "It seems that the grand master is very famous among the people, sister-in-law, look at Qiuxiang, they are all very grateful to Qiuxiang. But some men have messy eyes Turn around and keep staring at Qiuxiang."
Su Xueyun sighed, "So you can't be a servant at any time, no matter how beautiful you are, you still lack respect in the eyes of others. Now they call Qiuxiang "Sister Qiuxiang" just because Qiuxiang is a big maid in Taishifu. If something happens to Qiuxiang in the future Being demoted to a little maid with no status, these people will treat her as an inferior person who can be treated at will."
Zhu Xiaolian looked at Su Xueyun in surprise, "So serious?"
Su Xueyun said: "It's normal to step on the high and praise the low, and there are very few people who can be sincere to others. Qiuxiang has been a maid since she was a child, and she was taught to be a servant. She is the kind who is afraid of bugs. The teaching of secretly swallowing worms."
Zhu Xiaolian opened her mouth, and looking at Qiuxiang who was smiling outside, she was a little speechless.
Su Xueyun closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage, and said: "Although Qiuxiang has no worries about food and clothing these years, and others compliment her, what she has learned is all nonsense. But it doesn't matter, Qiuxiang will live with us in the future, There won't be any more of these things, let's treat today as the last day, so that she won't feel uneasy and feel like she has inherited the favor of the Grand Master's Mansion."
Zhu Xiaolian nodded, couldn't bear to look at Qiuxiang again, so she put down the curtain and sat quietly like Su Xueyun.
Qiuxiang didn't know her sister's worries about her outside, and she happily distributed bonus envelopes to everyone, no matter men, women, young or old, or whether the other party was dirty or not, she smiled and did not dislike her at all.Hearing everyone praised the Taishifu's servants for their good manners, she laughed even more happily, and she just wanted to do something for the Taishifu finally, even if it was just to win a little bit of good reputation.
Tang Bohu was walking on the side. Hearing the commotion here, he couldn't help but look around. He was stunned when he saw Qiuxiang smiling down, "Qiuxiang?"
The person next to him said: "That's right, it's Qiuxiang from Huataishifu, and Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, and Dongxiang over there. The maids in Taishifu are all beautiful and have a good figure. But if you want me to say it's Qiuxiang The best life, people want to see it after seeing it, but that Xia Xiang is ugly as hell, and I don't know how she got into the Grand Master's wife."
The others echoed, laughing and criticizing the maids.Tang Bohu glanced at them and said, "It's not good for you big men to talk about other girls here?"
The person next to him glanced at him contemptuously, shook his head and said, "Another prudish nerd, I don't believe you don't want to look at Qiuxiang in your heart, look at how many people on the street are looking at Qiuxiang, what's wrong with saying a few words? Aren't their maids coming out just for people to see?"
Tang Bohu suddenly remembered that Su Xueyun warned him not to judge her and the people around her, and then looked at the men talking around, he shook his head and sneered, laughing at Su Xueyun's innocence, even if he didn't say anything, wouldn't there be so many people around? explain?
After Lu Zhaorong finished shopping at the stall, he couldn't find Tang Bohu when he turned around. He squeezed through the crowd for a long time before he saw him, and hurriedly said, "Bohu, I've finished shopping. Let's go to the temple quickly. There are so many people here. It will be annoying if you go late."
Tang Bohu said reluctantly: "There are so many people, we don't want to go, what's the point of crowding?"
Lu Zhaorong said with a smile: "Then my body has been recuperated. After so many years, I can finally have a healthy body. It is simply the blessing of the Buddha. How can I do it without worshiping God? I thought I would never have the opportunity to be a mother in this life." I didn’t expect to be healed by Miracle Doctor Hua, I’m really thankful, I must go to worship the gods to thank the gods for their blessings, and when I return to Suzhou, I will reward Miracle Doctor Hua with a big gift.”
Tang Bohu said without hesitation: "Then let's go." He turned his head and looked at Qiuxiang again, through Qiuxiang he seemed to be able to see Qiuyue's gentle smile, and he twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly.If Lu Zhaorong could conceive back then, wouldn't father have forced him to take a concubine to stay behind?Wouldn't this happen between him and Qiuyue?It would be great if Qiuyue could be as gentle as Qiuxiang, at least don't hit him every now and then, cut off all kindness at every turn, and never communicate with each other until death.
Lu Zhaorong talked for a while, then turned around and found that Tang Bohu was not in high spirits, and gradually calmed down, he couldn't tell whether he should be happy for his health recovery, or sad because Tang Bohu treated her as his sister.
In this way, everyone entered the temple with their own thoughts, and everyone in the Taishi Mansion took care of everything according to the usual practice.Mrs. Taishi knelt down and worshiped three times piously, and added a large amount of sesame oil money to the host.The presiding master said: "The grand master's wife has a kind heart, and the Buddha will definitely bless your son's safety and longevity."
Mrs. Grand Master liked to hear this, she smiled and bowed to the host, "Then I will borrow a good word from Master."
The host master continued: "Mrs. Grand Master, the vegetarian dishes are ready, please move to the backyard and use them slowly."
Madam Taishi nodded politely, and Qiuxiang hurriedly said: "Madam, you go in first, I will ask for a lottery for you."
Mrs. Taishi smiled and said: "Okay, you used to beg for me. Today I will borrow your blessing for the last time and ask for a good lottery for me. After you are done begging, you can find me in the backyard. Remember that you are no longer a maid." That’s right, a lot of things can be handed over to others.”
Qiuxiang nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am. Elder sister, Xiaolian, you also go to the backyard with Mrs. Taishi, I'll be over soon."
Su Xueyun warned: "There are many people today, you should be careful, and remember to call the servant if you have anything to do."
"I know my sister." Qiuxiang urged them to go to the backyard to rest, and then took the lottery and knelt on the futon to earnestly ask for a lottery.
Tang Bohu and Lu Zhaorong walked to the door, and Lu Zhaorong said: "Oh, I forgot to buy something. I'm so dishonest. No, I'll buy it back. Fortunately, there are also temples that sell it so you don't have to go too far. Bohu, Just wait for me here, so you don't get so tired from walking around."
Tang Bohu nodded and said: "Then you go and come back quickly, let's go back after worshiping the gods."
Lu Zhaorong smiled, then turned around and walked away quickly.Tang Bohu had nothing to do, so he casually walked in the door and looked around, and suddenly saw Qiuxiang kneeling there begging for a lottery.Seeing that Qiuxiang was alone, he stepped forward and smiled, "Miss Qiuxiang, what a coincidence? I saw you paying for the grand teacher's wife to offer incense just now. I didn't expect to meet you here. Why are you alone?"
Qiuxiang looked up at him, frowned, and ignored him.
Tang Bohu couldn't help but asked, "Miss Qiuxiang, why don't you talk? We met, don't you remember? My name is Tang Bohu, from Suzhou. I came to Beijing with Lao Zhu to take the exam not long ago. Last time you and I I was there when your sister met, do you remember?"
Qiuxiang still ignored him.
Tang Bohu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Qiuxiang, did you misunderstand me? Did your sister tell you something? I can't explain the matter between me and your sister. Anyway, it's not so It's simple, and your sister has a bad temper and knows martial arts, so you know I'm not capable of bullying her, right?"
Qiuxiang picked up a lottery that fell on the ground, and said blankly: "I advise you not to lie in front of the Buddha, or you will suffer retribution." After she finished speaking, she continued to ask for the second lottery.
Tang Bohu said unhappily: "What retribution? Why are you talking so viciously like your sister? What kind of retribution did I suffer? I didn't tell a single lie. You don't understand me at all. You judge me based on your sister's words. Isn't it too unreasonable? How do you know what your sister said is true? Even in court, you have to give the defendant a chance to explain, right?"
Qiuxiang picked up the second lottery and said impatiently, "What kind of person are you? I'm not interested at all. Please stay away from me. You're disturbing me to ask for a lottery."
"You tell me to stay away from you, I want to be closer to you!" Tang Bohu lifted his robe and knelt on the futon next to Qiuxiang, turned to look at her and said, "You obviously have different temperaments from your sister, Why do you have to be so cold like her? You were able to smile so gently to beggars on the street before, why are you so indifferent to me? You are not fair!"
Tang Bohu was too close, and when he spoke, the heat sprayed on Qiuxiang's face, which made Qiuxiang very annoyed.She wanted to move to the side, but the skirt was pressed by Tang Bohu's knees, Qiu Xiang frowned and pulled her skirt hard.But Tang Bohu saw that instead of letting go, he pressed the hem of the skirt even harder, and said rascally: "If you don't give me a chance to explain today, I won't get up."
Qiuxiang glared at him, and accelerated the shaking of the stick in her hand.Tang Bohu thought she had compromised, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiuxiang, Qiuyue and I are actually playing tricks on people. I didn't understand it at the beginning. My father forced me to marry a girl back, so I gave the family heirloom to you." I asked Qiuyue to marry her, and I sincerely asked her to marry her. Later, some misunderstandings occurred, and Qiuyue had a big temper. She scolded me and broke the engagement without giving me a chance. My good brother is engaged! Miss Qiuxiang, can you understand how I feel? Yes, Qiuyue has suffered a lot, but that is not what I let her suffer. How do I know that it will be so difficult for her to be with me? What about it? She didn’t tell me, and then she blamed me afterwards. What’s the reason for this, Qiuxiang, tell me..."
Qiuxiang raised her hand and slapped him on the face. When he was stunned, she pushed him away and stood up, snorting coldly, "You never said sorry to my sister, but I only heard that you were selfish and not at all. For the sake of my sister. There have been some misunderstandings? What misunderstanding? You misunderstood my sister as clothes or your father disliked my sister? My sister suffers for you, but you feel that it has nothing to do with you. Could it be that my sister Do you deserve to suffer? If you really treat her as your fiancée, you should protect her instead of pushing everything on her. You are still the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can say such words? You really don’t know what it means!"
Qiuxiang had already asked for three lottery sticks, put the lottery holder back to its original place, and turned around to leave.Tang Bohu immediately got up and called her to stop, "Stop! Are you Qiuxiang or Qiuyue? Qiuxiang is very gentle, how could she hit someone just because she said she wanted to? You are Qiuyue, right? You dressed up as Qiuxiang and sneaked into Hua Taishi's mansion What to do? If you don't apologize to me, I will expose you and make you unable to do anything."
Qiuxiang stopped in her tracks and looked back at him incredulously, "You can't even tell my sister from me, yet you still dare to say you like my sister? I've met my brother-in-law several times, and he didn't admit to him once, just by You are not as good as my brother-in-law in this regard, no wonder my sister didn't choose you, you are inexplicable, you are not even as good as a child!"
Tang Bohu became annoyed and said, "What are you talking about?! How can I not compare to Lao Zhu? Since I was a child, I have been the most popular among the three treasures in Suzhou. All the women in Suzhou want to marry me. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It's cute for a woman to lose her temper, but it's annoying if it's too much. We've just met and don't know each other. I'll explain to you patiently and you won't listen. You curse and hit me. You are the one Inexplicable, unreasonable!"
Qiu Xiang hurriedly glanced at the Buddha statue, and said angrily, "No wonder my sister hates you so much, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the Buddha, you are such a person that people don't even want to look at you!"
When the two servants heard the voice was wrong, they came over and asked, "Sister Qiuxiang, what's the matter?"
Qiu Xiang pointed at Tang Bohu, "This prodigal son interrupts me to ask for a lottery for my wife, so give him a good lesson, and teach him that not everyone can mess with us in Hua Taishi's residence!"
The two servants responded in unison, "Yes, sister Qiuxiang, don't worry, the little one will be remembered forever!"
Qiu Xiang looked at Tang Bohu, snorted coldly, turned around and went to undo the lottery.Tang Bohu shouted at her back: "Hey, stop and explain clearly to me."
"Boy, if you want to tell Sister Qiuxiang to stop, you have to climb to a higher seat than Sister Qiuxiang. Now that you offend Sister Qiuxiang, you will be beaten honestly!" The two servants dragged him to the In the corner outside, this one punched him, that one kicked him, this one threw him over the shoulder, and that one threw him over the top.The two beat Tang Bohu like a sandbag, and with Qiuxiang's confession, they were merciless and struck with extreme force.Tang Bohu screamed out from the beating, and was immediately gagged by the two of them. He could only keep humming, hoping to attract others to help him.
It's not that there are people who saw this scene, but people also know the clothes of Washington's servants. Because Washington has always acted according to the rules, everyone guessed that the one who was beaten must have done something wrong to anger Washington. Naturally, it was impossible to come forward save.
Lu Zhaorong came back from shopping and couldn't find Tang Bohu. She frowned, and suddenly felt that going out with Tang Bohu was several times more tiring than going out by herself. I am coming."
Lu Zhaorong looked around, and after a while, he found that the clothes of the beaten man in the corner looked familiar.She got a little closer and realized that the man was Tang Bohu. She was shocked and immediately threw away her things and ran up to stop him, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? Don't hit him, who are you? How dare you hit someone casually?"
The two servants didn't hold on to Tang Bohu's misery. They took a look at Tang Bohu's miserable situation, stopped and said, "You know him best, remember to tell him to keep his mouth clean in the future, not everyone he can tease. You are actually a disciple like a dog, bah, I don't know what it means!"
Lu Zhaorong immediately retorted, "You must have misunderstood someone, Bohu doesn't know how to tease people."
The two servants said disdainfully: "What we saw with our own eyes can be wrong? This is what Sister Qiuxiang personally ordered, that's enough, take him away quickly, don't spoil our wife's performance."
"Qiuxiang?" Lu Zhaorong was stunned when he heard the name, two identical faces appeared in his mind, and seeing Tang Bohu's bruised nose and swollen face, he felt mixed feelings.She took out the rag from Tang Bohu's mouth and said, "Don't you like Qiuyue? Why did you provoke Qiuxiang? Is it because they look alike?"
Tang Bohu said angrily: "I don't! Only ghosts would provoke such a tigress-like woman! You really can't look at someone by appearance, she looks so gentle, but she actually finds someone to beat me! Only women and villains are hard to raise, hmph! "
Lu Zhaorong lowered his eyes and listened quietly to his complaint without speaking.After a while, he supported Tang Bohu and walked out slowly, completely losing the mood to worship God and fulfill his vow.Tang Bohu was limping, and kept saying things like Su Xueyun and the sisters were unreasonable, as if he was extremely disgusted with them.But Lu Zhaorong couldn't be happy at all, because she cared about it all the time, Tang Bohu might not have noticed it herself, but she watched Tang Bohu grow up, and she clearly knew that Tang Bohu had put Su Xueyun in her heart.It was because Su Xueyun became his brother's wife that Tang Bohu forcibly suppressed this feeling, deceiving himself that he had let Su Xueyun go, but he couldn't help but pay attention to her, and in the end it seemed like an unreasonable entanglement, which aroused Su Xueyun's disgust.
Now that he can't get close to Su Xueyun, Tang Bohu can't help but get close to Qiu Xiang, isn't it because of that face?Lu Zhaorong glanced at Tang Bohu, and couldn't help but ask herself, is she really going to have children for this man?Will her children be happy?
For the first time since Lu Zhaorong married Tang Bohu, she wondered if the way she repayed her kindness was wrong. If I knew today, I shouldn't have voluntarily broken the curse for Tang Bohu just because the Tang family gave her food.Now that Tang Bohu has someone he likes, he never pays her any attention. Is it really okay for her to treat this person as her husband and have children with him?
Tang Bohu's eyes were bruised, the corners of his mouth were cut, his face was swollen, and his body was too bruised and bruised. As soon as he returned to the Six Arts Club, he shocked everyone, thinking they had been robbed.After Tang Bohu said that he was beaten by Qiuxiang, even Wen Zhengming didn't sympathize with him. Instead, he disapproved of his disturbing Qiuxiang and advised him not to approach Su Xueyun and Qiuxiang again.
Tang Bohu dissatisfiedly accused Qiuxiang of being unreasonable, but unfortunately no one agreed with him.Master Shen has always seen the world very clearly. Seeing Tang Bohu's expression of reluctance and reluctance, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It was intended to be a falling flower, but running water is ruthless. .It's late, it's late, if I knew today, why bother at the beginning, since it has already caused irreparable consequences, then don't bother others at all."
Tang Bohu wanted to refute, but the curator Shen had already gone to feed the chickens in the yard with foresight, Wen Zhengming and several students also went back to their rooms to study, only Lu Zhaorong was left.Just as Tang Bohu was about to speak, Lu Zhaorong got up and said that he was going to cook in the kitchen. Everyone left, and Tang Bohu didn't hit a single person with his wounds all over his body.Thinking of the two servants who said that they had to climb to a higher position than Qiuxiang to teach her a lesson, Tang Bohu began to think about it.
Just in the evening, two students came back and said that Washington was recruiting servants. Tang Bohu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately said that he was going to Washington to be a servant.Everyone was very surprised, those two students wanted to go there because they wanted to earn some money by the way, what did Tang Bohu's family do with such a rich family?Tang Bohu thought about their previous attitude, so he didn't mention Qiu Xiang, he just said that he wanted to observe what a high official looks like first, so as to prepare for his future appointment as an official.
Wen Zhengming thought to himself that Qiu Xiang had already redeemed herself, and Tang Bohu would not conflict with Su Xueyun and the others if he went, so he said nothing, neither supporting nor opposing.He was thinking about the good books that Taishi Hua gave him, and ran back to his room to read after eating a few mouthfuls. Lu Zhaorong has never been able to influence Tang Bohu's thoughts, and the others naturally have no objections.So Tang Bohu was gearing up to fight Qiuxiang. At night, he dreamed of Qiuxiang being made things difficult by him but unable to resist, and he woke up laughing from sleep.
At this time, Qiuxiang had already entered Zhu's house with her bundles. Su Xueyun showed her the location of the rooms in the house, and said with a smile: "The house is not as big as the Grand Master's Mansion, and there are no servants. You may not be used to it at first. Tell me anything, don't be polite at home."
Qiuxiang looked around cherishingly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, no matter how big the Grand Master's Mansion is, it is not my home. It is very nice here, and I like it very much. I finally have a family and relatives."
Su Xueyun held her hand and said softly: "Yes, from now on we will be a family, and we will face everything together, whether it's you or me, we won't be alone anymore."
Qiuxiang looked at Su Xueyun moved and said, "Thank you sister, thank you for finding me and giving me a home."
Su Xueyun smiled sincerely at her, rejoicing in her choice at the beginning, having such a twin sister who is connected by blood is also a kind of happiness, and she will always guard this happiness in the future.
