Yangcheng

After Tong Shaoxuan came back from Boling, friends from the academy surrounded her all day long asking questions.

What exactly is the capital like? Is it just like the rumors, jade masonry, carvings, vermilion green tiles?

Are the East and West cities bigger than Su County?Didn't the ladies there ride on horseback?

Tong Shaoxuan had already missed a lot of lessons, and was trying to make up for them, but he was so entangled by everyone that he couldn't read the books at all.

But if you can't read the book, you can't blame your classmates.

She herself was full of enthusiasm, thinking about the fairy sister day and night until she couldn't hold a pen.

Even with a brush, she paints and draws, drawing the vague image of the fairy sister that remains in her mind, reminiscing about the only one intersection between the two of them.

Tong Shaoxuan hated himself for not being good at painting, no matter how he drew, he didn't look like the fairy sister, and always felt that he was not as good as the essence.

After more than half a month, Tong Shaoxuan didn't read much books, but his drawing skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Song Qiao originally thought that his daughter would talk about what he saw in Boling after returning home, but he didn't expect that to be the case at all.

Not to mention that I took the initiative to chat, and I don’t know what’s wrong with going to Boling to get back. If you ask her ten questions, she can answer half a sentence at most, and the half sentence is still floating.

When I was eating, my mind was always distracted, and I didn't know if I held the chopsticks backwards, so I ate the whole bowl of rice backwards...

Song Qiao went to talk to Lang Jun Tong Changting about this: "Didn't you think that our Anian went to Boling, and the whole soul seemed to be sucked away? She looks like a godless person all day long. How have you seen her so loose before?"

Tong Changting glanced at Tong Shaoxuan who was admiring the flowers in the small courtyard: "Isn't this normal? Wasn't she like this before?"

"Is Ah Nian your own daughter?" Song Qiao pointed at her, "Is she really like this before? Think about it carefully!"

Tong Changting really thought about it, and said, "It's really not like that."

Song Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to discuss with him in detail, Tong Changting said again:

"I used to hide and think about some crooked ways by myself, such as pepper playing and Xiang Yuesheng. After coming back from Boling, I like to come out and walk around. Look, they all go to the yard to enjoy flowers. If it was before, I would not hold her Come out, she can nest in the house for two or three days."

Song Qiao: "...According to you, her appearance has improved, right?"

Tong Changting saw that his wife's face was ugly, and she might attack him at any time, so he didn't dare to say any more, so he shut up right away.

Tong Changting has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a slender figure. His knife-sharpened face seems to have never smiled, and his Yintang is black, with a natural evil spirit.If someone does not know him well, seeing him for the first time will definitely feel that this person is violent and vicious, and it is better not to provoke him.

Little did he know that Tong Changting grew up like this, but his temper was very soft, especially towards his wife.

Being so disgusted by Song Qiao, he didn't dare to say a word, Song Qiao waved him away:

"Okay, okay, go back to your room and reflect on yourself. When you figure it out, come talk to me again."

Tong Changting obediently went to reflect, and Song Qiao knew that talking about these things with him was a waste of time.

Unfortunately, the daughters were not at home, and Ah Nian didn't want to tell the servants about it, so Song Qiao could only think about it alone.

"Ma'am, ma'am, I see."

Before Tong Changting could face the wall and think about a stick of incense, he hurried back with big strides:

"Madam, I know what's wrong with Ah Nian."

Song Qiao: "Let's listen."

"A Nian is also fifteen. I went to Boling Mansion, and I must have met someone I like. Look at her movements, does it look like when you and I decided to live forever?"

I have to say that this time he did say something thoughtful, but it was also what Song Qiao was most worried about.

"We can promise her to go to Boling, the reason is to let her go to the capital to open her eyes and learn more about the inside story of the officialdom, so as to pave the way for her future official career. How could she care about her children's personal relationship without knowing the importance?"

"Madam's words are a bit harsh. Our Anian has also reached the age of marriage. If we don't worry about it now, do we have to wait until we are seventy or eighty?"

Speaking of this, Tong Changting frowned and sighed: "Hey, madam also understands, because of the divorce of the Tang family who killed thousands of knives, it is really difficult for us Anian to find a good family in Su County. If she can Isn't it a good thing to find a lover in Boling, marry in Boling, and stay away from the gossip and gossip in Su County?"

Song Qiao felt a little relieved when Lang Jun said this.

"However, if she really found a reliable lover, Ah Nian would have told my mother a long time ago. Yesterday I asked her on the sidelines, but she still talked about him and refused to say anything. I'm afraid There is no lover, but Nie Yuan hits the door."

"Ma'am, you're worrying too much. It's not like you bumped into the Tang family. Look at you..."

When Song Qiao heard the word "Tang", he immediately lowered his face, let out a fierce "tsk", and covered Tong Changting's unlucky mouth.

"How do you know it's not the Tang family! What if it really is! Then Boling is the territory of the Tang family!"

Song Qiao's words almost made Tong Changting laugh: "Madam, do you know how big Boling is? Ah Nian has been away for more than ten days, how could he really bump into him?"

Song Qiao snorted: "It doesn't matter whether Ah Nian has someone he likes, as long as that person has nothing to do with Tang. As long as the surname is not Tang, all the men and women in the world can be chosen by Ah Nian. I am a mother." Never say a word!"

Eight years have passed, and Song Qiao was still very annoyed once the matter of the Tang family's remorse was mentioned.

Eight years ago, nine-year-old Tang Jianwei was seriously ill. She was in a coma for several days and was dying.

After drinking several pools of medicine, Tang Jianwei's condition did not improve at all. In the end, Tang Shizhan found an expert in the ancient mountains outside Boling City, hoping that the expert could save his daughter's life.

The expert took the money, sent back a written horoscope, and asked the Tang family to find someone who matched the horoscope.

After reading the horoscope, Su Maozhen suddenly remembered that she once had a handkerchief friend who gave birth to a daughter, and the horoscope seems to be very close!

Su Maozhen sent someone to inquire about the horoscope of Song Qiaoyao girl Shaoxuan.

Showing the horoscope to the expert, the expert was so excited that he almost smashed the case to pieces—this horoscope and Tang Jianwei's horoscope are a match made in heaven!If the two get married, they will be able to turn bad luck into good luck, the house will prosper, and the house will be prosperous!

The Tang family was full of joy, and immediately hired the Tong family.

Song Qiao didn't expect that his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time still remembered her, and even wanted to marry her family.

Tang Sanniang?

It is said that she is a very famous and talented woman, and the poems written by the nine-year-old lady have spread to Su County.

And her family, Anian, can read but is in poor health, suffers from headaches all day long, and doesn't know how long she will live...

The Tang family has a great career, and Mr. Tang is still a senior member of the court. Even if this marriage came suddenly, Song Qiao was still very happy.

But Ah Nian's physical condition had to be explained to the Tang family, so he sent a quick letter to the Tang family to clarify, so as not to turn around and say he took advantage of their Tang family.

The matter of Tong Shaoxuan's going to marry Boling caused an uproar in the county, and all the relatives and friends he knew came to congratulate Tong Shaoxuan on marrying into a wealthy family.

Song Qiao and Tong Changting have been waiting, waiting for the Tang family's reply, waiting for the wedding procession.

In the end, of course, I got nothing but the letter of repentance.

The Tong family didn't know what happened to the Tang family, and why they entertained the Tong family with the marriage. Naturally, it was reasonable to hate the Tang family's misbehavior.

The Tang family also regretted this matter.

It was true that Tang Jianwei was seriously ill, but it was less than five days after the wedding team left, she suddenly woke up, and for two more days, she was alive and kicking, and nothing happened.

Both Tang Shizhan and Su Maozhen were dumbfounded.

What a coincidence...

He was anxious to marry Tong Shaoxuan to save his daughter's life. Tang Shizhan and Aye were extremely opposed to it, and would never marry a small merchant in the countryside.It was Tang Shizhan and his wife who endured the enormous pressure from their father.

As a result, as soon as the welcoming team left, the daughter recovered from her illness? !

Whose idiot is this training?

The depression in my heart is true, and the amiability is settled, so is there any reason to go back on it?How will the Tong family deal with themselves in the future?

Tang Shizhan and Su Maozhen made up their minds that no matter how absurd things happened, it was because of their Tang family. The daughter-in-law they wanted to marry had to take good care of them no matter what, and they must not let the daughter of the Tong family be wronged.

Tang Jianwei's physical condition is no longer serious, Ye Niang is planning to talk to Tang Jianwei about the engagement, telling her that she will bring back a lively and lovely little lady soon, and they can get married when they reach the age of Ji.

Before he could tell Tang Jianwei on the other end, Tang Shizhan on the other end heard that his father had written a letter to Tong's house, announcing the marriage.I didn't look down on Tong's family at first, but it happened that my granddaughter recovered from illness, so I didn't need to find someone to celebrate.

His old man's original words were: "How can Ah Shen's life-long affairs be so careless? Where is Su County? They are all uncivilized southern barbarians! They are full of unintelligible birdsong, and they ride pigs when they go out! How can such a person marry into my Tang family?!"

Tang Shizhan knew that his father was an authentic Boling man, and what was bleeding in his bones was not blood, but a sense of superiority.

I feel that only Boling is a place for people, and all other places are barren lands.

But, is Aye thinking too much?Riding a pig...you have to be happy with the pig.

But his father's order was hard to disobey, and Tang Shizhan couldn't say anything more.

What's more, the offending letter has already been sent, how can Tang Shizhan mend the sky?

I wrote a long letter to sincerely apologize to the Tong family, but that's all for later.

The Tong family is so angry today, not to mention the word "Tang family", even "Boling" is unwelcome to them.

"No, I have to ask Anian. If I don't ask clearly, I won't feel at ease."

Song Qiao felt uneasy, and planned to bring Tong Shaoxuan over and shake him off.

Before he had time to find his daughter, the housekeeper, Uncle Chai, hurried in and said that there were two officials at the door, looking for Si Niang.

The eldest son of the Tong family has four daughters, and Tong Shaoxuan is Tong Siniang.

Song Qiao wondered, "What is the official looking for, Anian?"

"This..." Uncle Chai was a little embarrassed, "Those two officials are very fierce, I dare not ask."

Song Qiao immediately walked to the gate, and immediately saw the official in official uniform, who was about to tie his horse.

One of them searched around, but couldn't find a horse-holding post, and muttered: "There's no place to tie up a horse? What a waste of ground."

Song Qiao felt a little unhappy, stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask the two officials, what are you doing?"

The older official asked: "Is this Tong's Mansion? Does Tong Shaoxuan live here?"

Song Qiao had lived in Boling Mansion for seven or eight years when she was a child, and she recognized the official Boling accent as soon as they spoke.

Boling!

Song Qiao's first reaction was that his daughter committed a crime in Boling, and the official chased her to Su County to arrest her!

Song Qiao didn't directly answer the other party's question, but instead asked, "Who are you two?"

The two officials walked directly into the Tong's Mansion, raised their long gowns, held something in their hands, and said loudly:

"Tong Shaoxuan accepts the order!"

This sound was practiced, extremely thick and penetrating.

Tong Shaoxuan, who had just picked up the paintbrush in the back room, heard this movement, and immediately walked out quickly. Seeing the imperial decree approaching, it was as if the emperor had come in person!

The Tong family immediately knelt down, and Tong Shaoxuan quickly knelt beside her mother.

"Who is Tong Shaoxuan?" the official asked with a low eyebrow.

The decree came so suddenly and inexplicably, it was impossible for Tong Shaoxuan not to panic, she raised her head and replied softly:

"I'm."

Tong Changting and Song Qiao cast questioning glances at the same time: What have you done!

Tong Shaoxuan was extremely innocent and puzzled: I didn't do anything!

Before announcing the decree, Song Qiao silently recited in his heart:

As long as I don't take Ah Nian away, I don't care about anything else!

But after the official finished reading the edict of bestowing marriage, Song Qiao felt that it was impossible again.

It didn't even slow down for half a day.

Who?

The third lady of the Tang family... Tang Jianwei?

Marriage from the Son of Heaven?With Anian? !

Am I dreaming?

How did all this happen?

How did the emperor play this game on a whim?

Song Qiao looked at Tong Shaoxuan again, trying to get an answer from his daughter.

But when she looked at Tong Shaoxuan, she saw that her little face was completely devoid of blood, her eyes were straightened when she looked at the official, and she asked in amazement:

"Tang...Tang Jianwei? Yes, that Tang Jianwei from the Boling Tang family?"

The official nodded.

"How……"

Tong Shaoxuan originally thought that his mental state would improve a lot after returning home, but he didn't expect to be so frightened that he began to feel dizzy and dizzy again.

Before she could faint, Song Qiao, who was kneeling beside her, passed out first.

"Auntie! Auntie, cheer up!" Tong Shaoxuan quickly supported Song Qiao, lest she knock her head down and bleed.

Song Qiao was like a ball of well-cooked soft noodles, lying limply in Tong Shaoxuan's arms, tears streaming down his face:

"What the hell did we... the Tong family do? Why does Tang Jianwei linger..."

Tong Changting also couldn't understand, and asked:

"Dare to ask the two officials, is this serious? Are you really not mistaken?"

Those two people came here after a long journey just to announce an edict. They were already exhausted all the way, so they didn't bother to say anything, so they directly handed the edict to Tong Shaoxuan:

"You pick it up by yourself and take a good look."

After delivering the edict, they left.

Tong Changting woke up Song Qiao, and the whole family gathered around to watch with Tong Shaoxuan.

With trembling hands, Tong Shaoxuan slowly unfolded the imperial decree. After rereading each word, the world was spinning.

It's really Tang Jianwei...

It's really her.

I don't understand, what did I do, why did I marry Tang Jianwei?

Or a marriage from the Son of Heaven?Is the emperor all right?

It's not about marrying the eldest princess, she also takes care of common people's affairs?

more importantly……

Where does the emperor know about me?

Tong Shaoxuan was puzzled and asked 1 whys, but no one could give her an answer.

Boling Mansion, Wu family.

It has been two months since Wu Xianrong told her aunt that she was going to marry Tang Jianwei, and she was locked up at home by her aunt, "strictly guarded and not allowed to step outside the Wu family".

In the past two months, she had cried and made noises, but her mother didn't take her seriously at all and ignored her at all.

Wu Xianrong was furious, and started spitting again: "If you don't let me go out, I'll hold back something, so you'll be happy, Auntie?!"

Her mother gave her a cold look: "When will you figure it out and be like your elder sister and not cause trouble to the family, when will I let you out."

"Elder sister..." Wu Xianrong sneered at the mention of this person, "Like her? As ungrateful as her? Auntie, I can't do it. I can't be as timid as her. Can't protect it! No, she can't protect it, she doesn't even have the guts to protect it!"

"You!" A Niang was about to scold her, when she suddenly looked past Wu Xianrong's face and looked behind her.

Wu Xianrong turned around and made eye contact with Wu Xianyi who was standing at the door.

Thunder was rumbling outside, Wu Xianyi was wearing a simple bun, and the dark blue cloth bag wrapped around the bun was completely wet.

Wu Xianyi, who had just entered the door, was holding a dripping bamboo hat in his hand, and he didn't even have time to take off his coir raincoat, so he heard clearly the dispute between his sister and A Niang.

Wu Xianyi's slender eyes were so dark that he could not read his emotions, he untied the water-filled coir raincoat, and the servant stepped forward to take it.

She holds a sword in her left hand, and her right hand is wrapped in a thick layer of cloth.

The cloth was completely wet, and some blood stains were faintly seeping out.

A Niang found the shocking blood, hurried forward and asked:

"Why are you injured!"

Wu Xianyi shook his head, still looking at his sister with cold eyes, and asked:

"What happened to her?"

Wu Xianrong snorted and said: "She was married by the emperor, and she is going to marry far away."

Seeing Wu Xianyi's appearance and being injured, he must have left the house on a temporary emergency.

Maybe I'm wrong about her?Wu Xianrong was secretly puzzled and wavered.

She originally thought that after hearing the shocking news that the betrothed lady was going to marry far away, if Wu Xianyi still had a conscience, she should be touched.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even twitch her brows, only the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she went to Aye's bedroom in the south.

Wu Xianrong was furious, and shouted at her sister's back:

"What is Ah Shen to you! Do you not care about her life at all?! Even if she wants to marry someone else, in a place like Su County, you will not be moved at all?!"

Wu Xianrong knew that Ah Shen liked the eldest sister.

Every time Wu Xianyi was mentioned, Tang Jianwei was in high spirits.

That's the expression that only those who truly love her will have.

But I don't know when, Tang Jianwei mentioned eldest sister less and less.

Later, when the word "Wu Xianyi" was mentioned, Tang Jianwei didn't speak anymore, only a faint wry smile.

Is there any misunderstanding between her and the elder sister?

Wu Xianrong once thought this way in his heart.

They actually still like each other, right?After all, the engagement was never cancelled.

She desperately wanted the eldest sister to say something, even if it was just a word of defense.

She wanted to know that the eldest sister she had admired since she was a child had her reasons and was not a heartless person.

Wu Xianrong stared at Wu Xianyi's back, his chest heaving unceasingly.

She wants an answer!

"The Son of Heaven refers to marriage, so how can others criticize it." Wu Xianyi actually said this, "Azi, you are not too young, you should know what it means to speak out."

His tone was still as cold as ice, and he couldn't hear any nostalgia.

There is no sympathy.

That night, Wu Xianrong didn't need anyone to guard him, and he didn't go anywhere.

Lying on the bed, holding Tang Jianwei's letter to her in his hand, reading it over and over again, tears wet the pillow.

It seems that on this night, the second lady of the Wu family, who has always had no worries about food and clothing, saw the truth of life clearly in the twilight.

That sharply cuts through fantasy, leaving no human truth behind.

……

The team to send off the relatives quickly assembled.

Tang Jianwei only had Zitan as a domestic slave, and her sister, she would definitely take them with her to Su County.

Originally, she thought that there should be no problem for the three sisters, master and servant, to go on the road together.

It is still the eldest princess who is kind-hearted: "Although in the peaceful and prosperous age, there are patrolling cavalry guards on the official roads, and there are few bandits. But after all, Su County is far away from the high road of Boling Mountain. As for you, the emperor appointed you to marry me. What if something happens? The problem, that would be a disgrace to our heavenly family."

Wei Ci sent her four young ladies who possessed martial arts skills and were very caring, and escorted them all the way to Su County.

Tang Jianwei thought to himself, "So you also know Suxianyuan?", and thanked His Royal Highness Long En.

Zitan was still in a trance, unable to believe the fact that they were going to the land of the Southern Barbarians.

And Tang Jianwei had already thought about it.

She had to go if she wanted to, and she had to go if she didn't want to. This was the emperor's will, and no one would dare to disobey it.

And what Wei Ci said was right, if she didn't leave, she would lose her life in vain.

Before leaving Boling, she had something important to do.

Thinking of this, Tang Jianwei's eyes gradually sharpened.

Boling, Tang Mansion.

Mrs. Yang started to have a headache when she got up in the morning, and after counting the cash at home, she almost died of heartache.

This unscrupulous son is going to gamble again!

A few days ago, when she counted the bank notes, there were only 5000 taels left, and if she counted again today, there were only 2000 taels? !

Because of Tang Shizhan's case, although the Yang family was not implicated, they were fined a large sum of money, and even a lot of their land was confiscated.

While helping Zhang Luo and Tang Linglang's marriage, Mrs. Yang also went to the shop to chase the rent, but what about Tang Xuming? !

Besides going to the gambling house to spend a lot of money, what else!

He couldn't even get him to catch two little girls and bring them back!

What kind of Jinwuwei brigade commander still call him brother and brother?

I don't know if he has a role as a brother, but he must be the number one when he is taken advantage of. No one can beat him!

The members of the Pang family's wedding team have lived in the Tang family for several days, eating and drinking all day long, as if reincarnated from hunger!

If Tang Sanniang is not captured and thrown to the Pang family, and these debt collectors leave quickly, Yang feels that she will be pissed off.

Yang's stomach was full of anger, and she waited for her son to come back to teach him a good lesson, and discuss how to deal with the rough men of the Pang family's wedding team.

Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for his son, he waited for someone unexpected.

Tang Jianwei?

Tang Jianwei entered through the gate alone and stood in the front hall of the Tang family.

Yang received the report from the slave, and immediately walked out with Tang Linglang, looking at Tang Jianwei in wonder.

"Why did she come back..." Tang Linglang held Yang's arm and whispered in her ear.

Mrs. Yang heheed, and said to Tang Jianwei: "It's good that Sanniang knows she's back, and you, Yeniang, can rest in peace when she knows. Now that you're back, let's go with the Pang family. Your husband's family has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Speaking of which, Yang gave Uncle Zha a wink and told him to take him down.

But Uncle Cha didn't move, his expression was a little anxious.

Yang didn't understand, so Tang Jianwei not only didn't panic, but calmly sat on the chair and said to Yang:

"Husband's family? I am indeed getting married, but it has nothing to do with your Ponzi."

"You want to get married?" Yang didn't understand even more, "You are already part of the Pang family, why are you still messing with nonsense outside? Tang Jianwei, who do you think you are? You are the daughter of the Tang family! You Ye Niang is gone, so your marriage is naturally up to me! How do you say that you marry whoever you marry? Do you still know how many strokes of the word 'filial piety'?!"

Yang was very aggressive, and when he mentioned the excitement, the long stick in his hand hit the ground with a "bang", which made Tang Linglang tremble and her ears hurt.

Facing the wide-eyed Yang Shi, Tang Jian smiled instead of anger, lifted the yellow paper scroll in his hand, pointed at Yang Shi, and motioned her to take a look.

Mrs. Yang was puzzled, so Uncle Zha took it and unfolded it, and it was as he thought, it was really an edict!

Uncle Cha's legs softened and he knelt down.

Yang was surprised: "What are you doing?!"

Uncle Zha trembled and said, "This, this is the emperor's edict!"

As soon as these words came out, Yang hurriedly looked at the yellow paper.

The emperor's seal is clearly printed on the yellow paper, and there is also a big "ke" written in a cinnabar pen.

Yang looked at Tang Jianwei in fear: "You, where did you get it?!"

Tang Jianwei said: "Why, grandma didn't kneel down when she saw the emperor's decree? But do you think the emperor is not worthy of your worship?"

When she said this, Yang's face turned pale with shock, and he immediately knelt down to salute. Even Tang Linglang and everyone in the room fell to the ground, and couldn't afford to bow.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan: I want a gentle and kind fairy sister

Tang Jianwei: You can get it right away, although it will come with a fairy sister.

Tong Shaoxuan: ...?

Tong's mother: I think our Tong's mansion can save it again.

Father Tong: They are all a family of paper, who is more noble than the other.
