Yangcheng

The fact that the carriage of Tong's Food Shop almost fell off the cliff quickly spread in Su County.

Everyone was discussing whether Tong's restaurant was really unlucky in the past, caught up with bad luck, or someone was plotting behind it and didn't want them to have a better life.

"Whether it's bad luck or someone's scheme, this time they will be in trouble."

"It is said that the lost batch is the most important ingredient for the New Year's Eve banquet in their new restaurant. Without this batch of ingredients, even Boss Tang will be powerless."

"Hey... I think Boss Tang was a little too hasty at the time. He booked the New Year's Eve banquet early and wrote down the food list clearly. There is nothing wrong with doing business honestly, but now, how many people are waiting to see her jokes Woolen cloth."

These few people were discussing, but someone beside them laughed:

"If Boss Tang is really as useless as everyone said, Tong's Restaurant would not be able to open so big."

"what do you mean……"

"Boss Tang has quickly found a way to make up for it, and bought a new batch of ingredients. Although the price of this batch of ingredients is more expensive, is Boss Tang short of money? In order to make the new restaurant famous in a short period of time, Boss Tang spared no expense. A lot of money to create extraordinary quality. The second batch of ingredients is much more expensive, and the taste is naturally better than the first batch. However, because the New Year’s Eve banquet has been booked long ago and a deposit has been charged, the price has not changed. People really make money."

"It's actually like this... Boss Tang is really kind and capable."

"Those who want to see her jokes, I'm afraid they won't see it."

"Not only can't you see the joke, but the whole city knows about it. People who didn't know she was going to open a restaurant before now know it all. What is it not free publicity? It's really self-defeating! Behind the scenes want Seeing how unlucky she is, she will be very angry this time."

These few people chatted while drinking tea in the teahouse.

Sitting at the table behind them, there was a man in his thirties who seemed to be drinking tea, but in fact he held the teacup in his hand the whole time, and he didn't take a sip. He was listening carefully to what these people said about Tang Jianwei.

After hearing the last sentence, immediately put down the teacup, pay the bill and leave.

The man left the teahouse and trotted all the way into He's residence.

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!"

This man's name is Ji San, and he is a servant of the He family.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he began to ask everywhere: "Where is your lord?"

The maid said, "Your Majesty is in the garden."

Ji San immediately went to the garden.

The owner of He Mansion, He Songnian, is the owner of Hehua Tower.

This He Mansion is located in the most central area of ​​Su County. The whole house is not in harmony with the plain Su County.

The He Mansion is like a golden toad, lying in Suxian's confidant, greedily absorbing Suxian's wealth.

When Ji San walked quickly for a cup of tea in the mansion, he found He Songnian in the depths of the garden, and told He Songnian what he heard in the teahouse.

After hearing this, He Songnian laughed out loud, and when he turned around, his full stomach almost touched Ji San.

Ji San was flexible and immediately took a step back.

"I'm still afraid of her." He Song touched his stomach with his jeweled ring finger, as if he was a little hungry.

Ji San had no choice but to remind him: "Your Majesty, not to mention the surnamed Tang, the young girl from the Tong family, Shaoxuan, is very close to the new county magistrate today. County magistrate Ruan must take it with him wherever he goes to handle cases." This person doesn't know what it means."

"What else can it mean? Naturally, it is to create momentum for Tong Changsi's examination."

Ji San let out a "huh": "This Ruan county magistrate is from the Ruan family, and he can actually create momentum for a brat. How can the Tong family do it?"

He Songnian: "Are you stupid? Although Tong Shaoxuan's surname is Tong, their family is backed by the Changsun family! Moreover, the surname Tang is from Boling. Who knows if she married all the way to Suxian County? Consider it. It is not uncommon for County Magistrate Ruan to train Tong Shaoxuan."

Ji San suddenly realized: "Your Excellency is brilliant."

After flattering Ji San, he said: "Then, what is Mr. Lang planning to do this time, we still don't want to reveal our identities, otherwise, the Tong family and the county magistrate Ruan are colluding, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble for us." .”

He Songnian half-closed his eyes and said leisurely: "If I can intercept her once, I can intercept her a second time."

He turned his head to look at the gray weather, as if there was going to be another heavy rain today.

"This old man has been operating in Su County for decades, how can he be suppressed by an outsider. Since Little Hoof is so ignorant of the rules, this old man will teach you a lesson."

Tang Jianwei woke up early to get the scheduled goods back from Lin County today, and was ready to go on the road with Lu Fan and fight a tough battle.

When Tang Jianwei went to look for Lu Fan, Lu Fan was dancing sword alone in the yard.

A set of sharp sword flowers flashed before his eyes, and Tang Jianwei was amazed when he saw that Lu Fan kicked the unsplit wood at his feet into the air, suddenly soared into the air, and slashed violently in the air, splitting all the firewood evenly .

bang bang...

When Chai Huo and Lu Fan landed together, there was a burst of applause behind them.

Lu Fan looked back: "Ah Shen, you came so early."

Tang Jian smiled: "My sister-in-law is older than me! My sister-in-law's martial arts are really powerful. If you have time, can you teach me a little bit?"

Lu Fan said: "Ah Shen, don't be joking, I'm only scratching the surface."

"If sister-in-law is called fur, then wouldn't I be worse than me?"

Lu Fan smiled, and put the chopped firewood aside: "Shen, wait for me for a while, I'll pack it up and set off right away."

I thought that Lu Fan was going to the bedroom to talk to the eldest sister, but she didn't go in the direction of the bedroom, but went to the backyard, took a leather belt and tied it around her waist.

There are three leather sheaths nailed to the cowhide belt, and inside the sheaths are daggers.

Lu Fan put on a shawl, just enough to cover the dagger.

Tang Jianwei said: "My sister-in-law is very motivated today."

Lu Fan said: "I hope those gangsters will show up, just for me to avenge my previous revenge."

As she said she was about to leave, Tang Jianwei said curiously, "Why don't you tell Eldest Sister?"

Lu Fan's footsteps paused for a while, and he didn't look back: "No need, I told her yesterday. She is still awake at this time, so don't bother her."

Eldest sister doesn't get up late on weekdays, why didn't she get up at this time today.

Seeing that Lu Fan's complexion is not very good, it seems that he didn't sleep well last night, maybe he had a fight with the elder sister.

Tang Jianwei was not a talkative person either, Lu Fan didn't want to tell her and she didn't ask, the two of them called the brothers of the gang together, got into the carriage and prepared to set off.

"Ashin!"

When she was about to leave, Tong Shaoxuan stopped her, ran up all the way, and said angrily: "Why did you run away by yourself? You said you would take me with you! I want to go too!"

Tang Jianwei: "When did I agree to take you there, I didn't agree to you, it's just you talking to yourself."

"But……"

"But what is it?" Tang Jianwei jumped off the carriage, approached Tong Shaoxuan, and whispered, "Ah Nian doesn't listen to me anymore."

Tang Jianwei deliberately lowered his voice, thinking that they could hear his flirting words.

But Lu Fan practiced martial arts all the year round and his hearing was excellent. Even though Tang Jianwei kept his voice down to the minimum, Lu Fan still heard clearly.

Tong Shaoxuan said coquettishly: "This has nothing to do with listening or not! Such a dangerous matter, how can I feel at ease if I am not by your side! What did you say last time! I..."

Tang Jianwei immediately kissed her lips.

Tong Shaoxuan's unpainted lips were immediately stained red by Tang Jianwei's rouge.

Tong Shaoxuan saw that his family was still there, Tang Jianwei was so presumptuous, his face became warm: "You do this every time!"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "I didn't do it because it was effective. I knew that Ah Nian was the most obedient."

"I……"

"Okay, okay, we are a couple, but we also have different divisions of labor. You should study hard and prepare for the exam. This is our family's top priority. As for other things, can you leave it to me?" Tang Jianwei said intentionally , "I don't want to be kept at home by you, do nothing, just sit and wait to die."

"Why don't you do nothing..."

Tang Jianwei raised his voice and rubbed Tong Shaoxuan's face: "That's good, then I will do what I should do! Tong Changsi, who has no power to restrain the chicken, you should go to the academy as soon as possible! I'm still waiting She's going to be the wife of a high official."

After speaking, Tang Jianwei got into the carriage and told Ah Zhou to drive away quickly.

Tong Shaoxuan's small face was full of worry, and he stood behind the carriage and shouted, "Ah Shen! Sister-in-law! You all have to be careful!"

The carriage was almost at the gate of the city, and Tang Jianwei's smile was still evident.

Thinking of the conversation between the two of them just now and their unaffected affection, Lu Fan was thoughtful.

"Azhao, do you...do you treat me as someone else?"

Before going to bed last night, she asked Tong Shaolin the question she wanted to ask a long time ago.

She was already prepared that Tong Shaolin would hesitate for a long time and tell her a cruel answer.

Unexpectedly, Tong Shaolin's answer was quick and decisive.

"there has never been."

Tong Shaolin even sat up, stared into Lu Fan's eyes and said:

"I have never regarded you as someone else. I, Tong Shaolin, have only loved you from the beginning to the end."

Even though Tong Shaolin has a place in his heart that she has never reached, Lu Fan can be sure that Tong Shaolin will not lie to her.

Could it be that I really worry too much?

but……

Lu Fan's heart wavered, and she didn't hear Tang Jianwei talking to her at all.

"Sister-in-law." Tang Jianwei saw that her mind was not here at all, shook her arm and said, "What's the matter, sister-in-law, I've been out of my mind all morning. Are you having a fight with elder sister?"

Smart as Tang Jianwei, he can guess right.

Lu Fan doesn't have many friends in Su County, so he talks to his wife about everything on weekdays.

But this matter is a problem between her and Tong Shaolin, Lu Fan has a sense of chaos that the authorities are obsessed with.

And Tang Jianwei, like her, was also a daughter-in-law who married into Tong's house, so she was a little kind to begin with.

Because they were talking about Yulu Wan earlier, the two of them also had a heart-to-heart talk.Coupled with Tang Sanniang's weirdness, it seems that there is nothing she can't solve.

Although Tang Jianwei was younger than himself, Lu Fan felt that she was someone he could rely on.

Lu Fan said: "It's not really an awkward situation."

"What's the matter?" Tang Jianwei took Lu Fan's arm and looked like sisters to her.

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the carriage, so Lu Fan shared some of her doubts and what happened last night.

Tang Jianwei pondered: "So, do you think the elder sister is comforting you by saying that you are the only one in her heart?"

"No..." Lu Fan said, "I don't think she is trying to comfort me, but it seems that there are still some things that I haven't said, so I'm a little confused."

"Sister-in-law." Tang Jianwei said earnestly, "If you asked Eldest Sister and wanted her to give you an answer, then you'd better believe the answer she gave you now. Otherwise, don't even ask."

Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat, feeling an uncomfortable feeling of stepping into the void.

But when she recalled Tang Jianwei's words, it became indescribably clear.

"You and the eldest sister were destined by yourselves, and you got married because you liked each other, right?" Tang Jianwei asked her.

Lu Fan nodded.

"Does she disappear from time to time, to do something you don't know?"

Lu Fan shook his head.

"Then... why do you say she has someone else in her heart?" Tang Jianwei was also a little confused.

"Because at first, she didn't like me."

"At the beginning? When you two met?"

"Well, she had a lot of choices at that time, and all the people around her were wealthy children. I... don't think she has a reason to choose me."

"And then? How did you two get together, and how did you decide to get married?"

Lu Fan blushed: "Because I... took the initiative and told her my heart."

Tang Jianwei did not expect that the shy Lu Fan was actually the one who took the initiative.

It seems that the sister-in-law really loves the eldest sister.

When Lu Fan was in his teens, the family gang had already declined. Not only did he often have to face people who came to seek revenge, but he also had to support his aging brothers and help them solve all kinds of troubles with money and effort.

As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Fan naturally took on this important task.

Cowardly and weak since she was a child, she forced herself to put on men's clothes, learned martial arts diligently, and put on a fierce attitude in front of people, just to intimidate the enemy and support the gang.

Only she knew how far she had pushed herself to pay off the debts owed by her family before she was born.

When she killed someone for the first time, she was trembling all over, and she still dreams about the person she accidentally killed.

Poverty, hardship, constant self-oppression...

Lu Fan grew up in this depressing and depressing environment.

She is a knife of the Lu family, wherever the Lu family asks her to cut, she must cut there.

She has no hobbies of her own, has never lived for herself, and she cannot see the colorful world that others say.

Until Tong Shaolin appeared, Lu Fan felt that he had come alive.

With breathing, with heartbeat, with greed.

She pursued Tong Shaolin silently, and accompanied her like a shadow.

For a while, Tong Shaolin was very disappointed. He didn't go to the college and didn't stay in Su County. He lived alone in the nunnery in the deep mountains of Lin County without seeing anyone.

But Lu Fan's heart was always on Tong Shaolin, and he never left.

As long as Tong Shaolin lived on the mountain, Lu Fan stayed at the foot of the mountain.

Practice swords in the rising sun every day, and practice calligraphy at dusk.

Listen to the bells in the distance, watch the rain dripping, and the flying rabbits go away.

After waiting silently for ninety days, Lu Fan finally met Tong Shaolin.

In the early morning of that day, Tong Shaolin was wearing a coat and standing on the high steps, surrounded by thick fog in the mountains and fields, and her face could hardly be seen clearly.

"Don't wait for me." Tong Shaolin's voice passed through the white mist and reached Lu Fan's ears.

Lu Fan didn't say anything else, just gave a flat "um".

It seemed to be responding to her, and it seemed to be expressing "I heard", but she didn't leave after all.

The two stood here silently for a long time, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Tong Shaolin asked, "Why do you stay here?"

"I……"

I fear for your safety.

I want to stay close to you.

The words passed Lu Fan's mouth, but he didn't say it.

"You like me?" Tong Shaolin asked her.

Lu Fan raised his head to look at Tong Shaolin.

This is not a joke, Tong Shaolin's expression is very serious.

She walked down slowly: "Lu Fan, do you like me?"

Lu Fan was so nervous that he couldn't stand anymore: "I...I like you."

"Since when did it start?"

Tong Shaolin walked in front of her, and she left behind the thick fog, and a pair of bright eyes full of oppression and inquiry appeared in front of Lu Fan.

Lu Fan couldn't resist Tong Shaolin like this, so he could only answer truthfully: "From the first time I saw you."

After Tong Shaolin looked at her deeply for a while, he pinched her chin: "I want to kiss you."

Lu Fan: "..."

Before she could answer, Tong Shaolin hugged her waist and kissed her.

Tong Shaolin moved her heart even more than she imagined.

Tong Shaolin opened her up bit by bit, telling her how to enjoy the world, how to experience happiness that she never imagined.

After that night, Tong Shaolin left the nunnery with her and returned to Su County.

Tong Shaolin began to come to her on his own initiative.

In many corners of Su County, there are traces of their love.

Lu Fan felt that she had figured out something, but she never told Lu Fan why she went to the nunnery and didn't even see her family.

"Did you never ask about this matter back then?" Tang Jianwei tightened his grip on Lu Fan's arm.

Lu Fan said "Hum".

"why?"

"That must be a very important thing to her, so that her optimism can be greatly hit. She is willing to come back with me, which shows that she has figured it out and wants the wound to heal. Why should I give her Add blockage."

"That's right!" Tang Jianwei said with a soft smile, "What if the thing you care about is related to this incident?"

Lu Fan: "Well..."

"If you mention it again, it will definitely remind the elder sister of the old wound." Tang Jianwei said, "You and the eldest sister have been married for five years, and they are inseparable every day. You should know better than anyone whether the person next to you loves you. This kind of thing can't be pretended. If she doesn't love you, she can't be watertight. Sister-in-law, do you think big sister loves you?"

Lu Fan barely thought and blurted out: "Love."

Tang Jian smiled and said: "That's all right. In fact, no matter how close the person is, you should allow her to have her own space in her heart. It would be best if she can tell you. If you don't want to say it for the time being, there is no need to force her. Then Enai is also two people after all. Just like back then, the eldest sister knew that you were silently guarding her, and when she wanted to open up, she would naturally come to see you.

"Everyone's experience is different, so their personalities are also different. Ah Qi mentioned it to me. When the elder sister comforted her, she said, who said that everyone in this world must be strong? What's wrong with cowardice? Well, as long as she never I am sorry for you, I love you wholeheartedly, there is a place in my heart that has not been visited by anyone, and I don’t want to open it for the time being, but there is nothing wrong with it.”

The thread about big sister and sister-in-law will be revealed in the Boling chapter.

You scold it (the tiger kneels down

Definitely HE (swear lightly
