Yangcheng

"What happened to you?"

Tang Jianwei saw that there was already a layer of sweat on the tip of her delicate nose, and the hand pressing her belly turned into a fist, pressing tightly, obviously to relieve the pain.

Tang Jianwei was worried, but for some reason Tong Shaoxuan didn't say anything.

It's not that Tong Shaoxuan doesn't want to talk about it, but it's really hard to talk about it...

Just now when she confronted Sixth Sister-in-law earlier, she already felt a pain in her stomach, and it didn't feel like eating a bad stomach. She had never experienced the continuous falling pain.

With the enemy in front of her, all her attention was focused on how to protect Tang Jianwei, and her pain was also diverted a little.

When Sixth Sister-in-Law was defeated, her tight heart relaxed slightly, and the pain quickly occupied all her thoughts, becoming more and more clear.

In addition to the pain in her lower abdomen as if being torn apart, she also felt that something was too strange...

Although she lived until the age of 15 and never had a menstrual event, she could hear clearly how her sisters got here and what they often said when they got together, and she roughly understood what was going on.

A few days ago, Tang Jianwei gave her the moon water medicine. He thought it would take at least a year or so before it would have any effect, but he didn't expect it to take so long...

It really taught her to be caught off guard and completely unprepared.

I wanted to go to the academy to sit down and rest quickly, but when I walked halfway, I felt that there was no way to go to the academy, so I better go home and find my mother.

Who would have thought that at such an important moment in her life, A Niang would actually go out with Aye, and even the third sister would not know where to go!

"A Nian?" The eldest brother Tong Boyi just came out of the stable, saw his younger sister, and immediately stepped forward, "What's the matter? Did you get hurt somewhere?!"

The eldest brother's concern was genuine, but Tong Shao looked at his rough face with a bushy beard, even if he had a thousand words, he couldn't say it.

How can I tell my brother about this kind of thing...

Why is only the eldest brother at home!

Tong Shaoxuan didn't speak, Tang Jianwei said for her:

"Brother, don't worry, Anian is not feeling well and needs to rest. I'll take her back to the room first, and please ask Ji Xue to come to the bedroom."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

"Ji Xuelai will be fine." Tang Jianwei specifically confessed, "Brother, don't come, it's inconvenient."

Tong Boyi was puzzled for a moment, then understood, blushing and hummed twice.

Tong Shaoxuan was supported by Tang Jianwei from behind, and he didn't see her face, but he could hear her voice clearly.

That's right, besides elder brother, there is her at home...

Tang Jianwei asked Tong Shaoxuan: "Can you still walk?"

Tong Shaoxuan forced a smile: "I'm not missing an arm or a leg, so I can walk naturally."

"Don't try to be brave." Tang Jianwei said seriously, "Your cold physique is caused by menstruation. You can imagine how painful it will be during menstruation. Let's walk slowly. I'm the only one here. It's really uncomfortable. I said, I will help you."

"what are you going to do……"

"I've learned a lot about my legs and feet since elementary school. Although I can't lift a mountain, I can still hug you, a weakling..."

Before he could say anything, Tong Shaoxuan ran away and rushed into his bedroom. Tang Jianwei let out a "hey", but he was gone.

"Don't run away! Didn't I just say that! It's you who will feel uncomfortable later!" Tang Jianwei couldn't stand the frizzy child, and followed her to the bedroom.

He was about to step into Tong Shaoxuan's bedroom, but was stopped by the owner of the bedroom.

"I can do it myself!" Tong Shaoxuan emphasized.

"Yeah, so you know how to deal with menstruation? How to wear a menstrual belt?"

"...I don't know. But I can figure it out on my own!"

"Your mother helped you prepare your menstrual belt?"

"Not..."

"So, the person who came here is standing in front of you, why bother to think about it? Let me in quickly, or you won't want this dress."

As Tang Jianwei was about to push the door, Tong Shaoxuan stopped him again.

"Wait a minute! You can teach me through the door!"

The skin is really thin, Tang Jianwei thought to himself, what do you have that I don't?

"Okay, you take off your skirt now, and I'll bring you the menstrual affairs."

"Are you going to get it?"

"Yes, I brought it."

"Yes, did you use it?"

"...Where did you come from? Of course it's unused! It's brand new!" Tang Jianwei wished he could break through the door and knock Tong Shaoxuan's head off!

Tong Shaoxuan also felt that he had asked a stupid question, and when Tang Jianwei scolded her angrily, instead of being angry, he laughed out loud.

"Little Wang Bazi, still laughing. Just wait here for me, and I'll come over when I get it."

Tang Jianwei returned to the west courtyard, took a brand new menstrual belt, and asked Zitan to cook a bowl of wolfberry and red date porridge, and when it was cooked, he sent it to Tong Shaoxuan's bedroom in the east courtyard.

The red sandalwood agreed, Tang Jianwei hurried to the kitchen, found a large handful of plant ash, stuffed it into the small opening at the front of the menstrual belt, and spread it out.

When she returned to Tong Shaoxuan's bedroom, Ji Xue was standing at the door with a piece of cloth talking, and it seemed that Tong Shaoxuan also blocked the door.

Ji Xue glanced at the object Tang Jianwei took, it was much easier to use and more comfortable than her simple strip of cloth.

"A Nian?" Tang Jianwei said, "I brought it, you open the door."

Tong Shaoxuan was in severe pain, opened the door a crack, saw the things in Tang Jianwei's hands, his face was full of doubts.

"This? How to use it?"

"I'll come in and teach you."

"No, no, no... just say what you say, I can understand."

Tang Jian handed the menstrual belt in with a slight smile, and told her how to wear it and tie it.

After a while, Tong Shaoxuan got dressed, Ji Xue was worried about her and wanted to go in to see her.

Tong Shaoxuan opened the door.

At this time, she had already changed her clothes, Ji Xue took her dirty skirt to wash, Tong Shaoxuan still insisted on doing it by herself, Ji Xue firmly refused:

"Don't make trouble, Si Niang, you have menstruation again in the cold weather, you must never touch cold water, understand? And when have you washed your clothes? I haven't come here since you were a child. You have a good rest, I will go gone."

Tong Shaoxuan had no choice but to give up.

Ji Xue left, and she and Tang Jianwei were left in the room.

Tang Jianwei said: "Seeing how uncomfortable you are, don't just stand here and lie down. I'll let Zitan cook the porridge, and I'll bring it to you later. Maybe you'll feel better after drinking it."

"It's made from red sandalwood..." Tong Shaoxuan lay on the bed clutching his stomach.

"Hey, are you disgusted? You can still eat red sandalwood porridge, don't worry, you won't be poisoned to death." Tang Jianwei stood by the bed and sat down directly without embarrassment. There was still a step away between the two.

"that……"

"Ok?"

"How can I replace the one you gave me just now?" Tong Shaoxuan's voice was so low that it almost disappeared.

"Change it every hour or two, pour out the inner layer of plant ash, and reinstall it." Tang Jianwei didn't feel shy at all, and said in a calm and steady voice, "But it also depends on your measurement." If there are many, it will naturally be replaced more frequently."

Tong Shaoxuan gave her a resentful look: "How can you speak so frankly."

Tang Jianwei: "What's so embarrassing about this? It's something that every woman will go through, and it will come even if she's not calm."

"How long will it be here?"

This question was beyond Tang Jianwei's expectations.

"Why, didn't your mother tell you?"

"My aunt wants to tell me..."

"It's just that you are thin-skinned and don't want to hear it, right?"

"Yes, yes, Tang Sanniang is unparalleled in wit, and she guessed right. How long will it be here?"

Compared with other people in Suxian County, Tong Shaoxuan's accent is not too heavy on weekdays, it can be regarded as a shadow of Mandarin, occasionally with a soft southeastern accent.

Tang Jianwei hadn't savored it seriously before, but now it's just the two of them in the room, and Tong Shaoxuan's articulation and ending of each word are very clear.

Suxian's accent likes to be elongated at the end, no matter what she says, there is an illusion of being coquettish.

But at the moment when Tong Shaoxuan arrived at the beginning of the day, the pain in her lower abdomen kept grabbing her, which drained a lot of energy, and her voice became softer, with a longer ending, and she was asking questions.

Tang Jianwei is very useful for her tender girlish voice, and she doesn't mind being her mentor when she enters the adult world:

"Under normal circumstances, it will come for seven days at a time, and it will come every month."

"Seven days... you mean I need to wear it for seven days?" Tong Shaoxuan looked serious.

"correct."

"Come every month? Then, how many years will it last?"

Tang Jianwei let out a "pop" and burst out laughing.

Tong Shaoxuan: "...If it wasn't for the pain in my stomach right now, I would definitely get up and fight you hard."

Tang Jian wiped his tears slightly: "It seems that you really haven't discussed this matter with your mother. How many years? My good lady. It will follow you until you are old and weak. If you live long, Probably in your 50s or so."

"Five, more than 50 years old?!"

Tong Shaoxuan was in despair.

She knew that adult women would have menstruation, but she never thought that such a troublesome thing would accompany them for most of their lives!

She clutched her lower abdomen, her face full of fear: "That means that every month from now on, I will have to live in pain for seven days?"

Tang Jian nodded slightly.

Tong Shaoxuan: "When did you come?"

"Fourteen, one year earlier than you."

"Then will you be in pain?"

"Nine out of ten women will feel uncomfortable, but I can't feel it anymore."

Hearing what she said, Tong Shaoxuan's eyes brightened, as if he had found a life-saving straw: "Why? How did you solve it?"

"Once you get used to it, it won't hurt anymore."

"Tang Jianwei...don't make me laugh, my stomach hurts!"

When Zitan brought the cooked goji berry and red date porridge, he knocked on the door and heard laughter inside.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan's laughter overlapped together, the voice was not loud, but it could be heard that the two got along very well and were very happy.

Zitan stopped in place for a while, and didn't knock on the door right away.

She didn't want to spoil the atmosphere in the house.

When such a big incident happened in the Tang family, Zitan saw how Sanniang survived.

Tang Jianwei has always wanted to have a strong personality since he was a child. No matter how sad things are, he hides them in his heart, and he doesn't want to show weakness.

But after all, people's hearts are fleshy. She and her Ye Niang have a deep relationship, and they grew up surrounded by stars. When they suddenly encountered such a big change, the trajectory of their entire life was changed.

Such a big blow, I am afraid that no one can fully accept it in a short time.

Tang Jianwei not only took it, but also swallowed it together with the blood, digesting it silently and quickly.

All the way from Boling to Su County, Tang Jianwei didn't think about the past because she didn't have the time.

What Zitan heard the most was that she said, looking forward to everything, we must plan the way forward.

Tang Jianwei straightened her back and walked forward resolutely. She always hid her wounds well.

Ridiculous smiles don't lie.

Tang Jianwei told her that she was kind to Tong's family only because Ye Niang's regret of marriage had a bad influence on Tong Shaoxuan, and she wanted to make amends.

But it has been more than once, when Zitan found that Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan were together, the smile was real.

She is really happy.

Tong Shaoxuan could really make her happy.

Zitan's vision was a little blurry.She was obviously very happy, but she didn't know why the bursts of sourness and relief in her heart made her unable to control her tears.

They thought Su County was a quagmire, and they had to struggle desperately in it.

I didn't expect that they didn't need to struggle, they had a good life here...

Will the Tong family in Su County be their blessed land?

"Why don't you go in?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Zitan trembled in fright, and the porridge in her hand was almost knocked over. Fortunately, Ji Xue reached out to help her in time, which prevented the tragedy from happening.

"So it's you... It's scary to death, you're a ghost, can you make some noise when you walk?"

Ji Xue: "...So I called you twice just now, but you didn't hear a single call, did you? What are you doing sneakily at Siniang's door?"

"You think I'd like to come here?" Zitan held up the porridge in front of Ji Xue, "Hey, it was my third mother who asked me to cook the porridge and bring it over to serve your fourth mother."

Ji Xue saw the goji berries and red dates in the porridge, which should be for Siniang's blood, so she thanked her with a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, just give it to me, and I will bring it in."

Zitan didn't speak, just handed the porridge to her, turned around and left.

Holding the porridge, Ji Xue glanced at Zitan's back.

Still angry about Cistanche?Isn't it just a misunderstanding?

After all, Boling Mansion is the capital, even the maids from Boling are so arrogant...

After drinking the porridge, Tong Shaoxuan took a nap, and when Song Qiao and Tong Changting returned home, Tang Jianwei told Song Qiao about Tong Shaoxuan's arrival at Tiangui Chu, and the other side of the academy had to ask for leave temporarily.

"It's coming? It's finally here." Song Qiao felt relieved, "Ah Shen, your medicinal food is really amazing, you come as soon as you eat it!"

"I also follow the

Song Qiao continued to praise Tang Jianwei without hesitation, to the point where Tang Jianwei himself couldn't stand listening to it anymore, so he escaped with the excuse that he wanted to go back to see his sister.

The way Song Qiao and Su Maozhen dote on the younger generation is quite similar.

She usually looks like a strict mother, but she is actually the most flattering.

Whenever the juniors do a little bit of good deeds, they will be full of praise, wishing to praise others to the sky.

Tang Jianwei grew up in this kind of doting, doing whatever he wanted, and only then did he have the knowledge he has today.

Tang Jianwei returned to the west courtyard, and Qiu Xin came back after finishing her work in the mansion. She was chatting with Zitan while grinding soybean milk.

"Huh? How do you know this poem?"

Not knowing what they were talking about, Zitan suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked Qiu Xin.

"I've heard Si Niang sing it before." Qiu Xin said, "Si Niang really likes this poem, what is the name of this poem...'Dui Jiu'! That's right, that's the name! In the past, she couldn't drink I liked to chant it from the beginning, it is said that this poem was... who wrote it, I forgot."

Qiuxin forgot, but Zitan knew.

This is written by San Niang...

Seeing that Tang Jianwei came over, Zitan must have heard their conversation just now, the expression on his face was a bit nice, Zitan said with a smile:

"Come on, Sanniang! How is Madam doing now?"

The Tong family often referred to Tang Jianwei as "Young Madam", but it was the first time for Zitan to call Tong Shaoxuan "Madame", which was somewhat joking.

Tang Jianwei never expected that when she was 14 years old and drinking secretly with a group of cronies, the crooked poems she wrote down would spread to Su County?

Has Tong Shaoxuan ever recited it in front of others?

I dare not think about this matter carefully, for fear that if I think about it a little deeper, I will pull out the embarrassment of the same style as "Sister Fairy".

Tang Jianwei didn't answer Zitan, but instead flicked her on the forehead when passing her, in exchange for a "ouch".

"It hurts so much!" Zitan rubbed his forehead, "Sanniang, you really hit me!"

"I haven't used any strength yet, or I'll blow your whole head off." Tang Jianwei went into the room.

Although Zitan was in pain, he still laughed.

Qiu Xin didn't understand: "Why did you ask the young lady about Si Niang's situation, and she wanted to flick you? And flick your head off?"

Zitan said with a smile: "Our San Niang is always very fierce when she is shy."

Ge Xunqing heard that Tong Shaoxuan was ill, so she specially brought a lot of food to visit her, but it turned out that it was not illness at all, but menstruation. This is something worth celebrating!

So not only did she congratulate herself, but the next day she called half of the school to congratulate Tong Shaoxuan.

Tong Shaoxuan's bedroom was almost bursting, her stomach was still hurting, and she was dizzy from the noise of Ge Xunqing and his gang.

It seemed that Ge Xunqing's purpose was not pure, and before she came to care about Tong Shaoxuan, the conversation began to change, asking frequently:

"Where is sister-in-law? Is sister-in-law at home today?"

Tong Shaoxuan said weakly: "Don't tell me that you brought so many people here to eat and drink at my house."

"That's definitely not the case. Even if I think about it, your hall can't hold so many people. Today I did bring everyone to congratulate you."

Tong Shaoxuan was about to tease her again, so she continued by herself:

"Tomorrow I will come by myself and tell my sister-in-law that I still want to eat roast chicken!"

"I've seen it today, there is such a thick-skinned person like you! I won't say anything, but if you want to say it, go tell her yourself!"

"What am I, how can she listen to me? It will work if you go!"

"She doesn't listen to me either!"

"how is this possible."

"...Why are you laughing so disgustingly?"

"I've heard all about it." Ge Xunqing sat by her bed, put her hands on her shoulders, leaned on her shoulders, and said treacherously,

"Isn't the sixth sister-in-law here to trouble my sister-in-law? The story of you helping her has spread to the academy. Although you are not in the academy, there is a legend about you in the academy. Everyone is talking about it. I really can't see it. We Changsi, who would lose half his life walking a mountain road on weekdays, did not hesitate when he stood up for his wife, as if he could fight with Liusao with his bare hands. Changsi, Changsi, you have the nerve to say Do you have a bad relationship with your sister-in-law?"

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Tang Jianwei set up a stall at the gate of my house, and was bullied by others. I happened to pass by. If I don't care, others will gossip about our Tong family."

"All right, all right, I know that you have such a powerful mouth that you can tell you if you are dead. If you can't tell me, I won't waste my time with you. Anyway, I'm going to eat chicken tomorrow. If I don't give it to me, I'll tell my sister-in-law! "

"say what?"

"Say you have a crush on her for a long time."

Tong Shaoxuan was so angry with her that he forgot that he was still menstruating, and almost jumped up to beat someone, but was comforted by his classmates.

Why did I know Ge Xunqing? !

Tong Shaoxuan reflected on himself, is it too late to break up the relationship now!

In the days to come, Tong Shaoxuan passed away due to confinement, and went to the academy again, Ge Xunqing insisted on pestering her to go home with her, and went to her house to sit side by side with her, waiting for dinner.

Tang Jianwei heard that Tong Shaoxuan's classmates were thinking about the roast chicken she made, so he roasted one immediately, and brought over two other hot home-cooked dishes.

Tang Jianwei stood behind Tong Shaoxuan and smiled gently at Ge Xunqing:

"Just tell me what else you want to eat in Yangon. You are Anian's best friend, and you are my best friend. You don't need to be polite to me. As long as I can do it, I will do it well."

Ge Xunqing was so happy that she was about to faint, unexpectedly, she met once, and Tang Jianwei actually remembered her name!

After Tang Jianwei left, Ge Xunqing held onto Tong Shaoxuan's arm and almost used a warning tone:

"If it weren't for the fate, maybe I would really turn against you!"

"What enemy?"

"Rival!"

"..."

"What can you complain about such a good wife? If I had this blessing, I would have kowtowed in front of my ancestor's grave long ago!"

"..."

So, how good is Tang Jianwei in the eyes of others?

Tong Shaoxuan began to wonder if he was really deceived by lard, and he became extremely slow to Tang Jianwei's matter.

Ge Xunqing ate Tang Jianwei's breakfast stall in the morning and Tang Jianwei's home-cooked food in the evening. After half a month, he was in a circle. When he went to the county government to look for him during the holidays, he happened to meet Hu Erlang. Hu Erlang almost didn't recognize him. come out with her.

"Ge Xiaoniang, why do you feel that your eyes are small? Oh, it turns out that there is a lot of flesh on your face, which was squeezed."

"...Second brother Hu, I know why you can't marry a wife."

Hu Erlang happened to be going to Jingyangfang to pick up breakfast, and Ge Xunqing brought her ink ingots to Aye, and it happened to be fine, so he went to play with Hu Erlang's car.

The two of them were about to get into the car at the back door, but when they heard Sixth Sister-in-law yelling, they were not yelling for steamed stuffed buns, but fried dough sticks?

"Fresh-fried crispy big fried dough sticks! Big fried dough sticks that cost a penny each! Big fried dough sticks that don't taste good! Buy two and get free soy milk—"

Sixth Sister-in-law's voice was so loud that half the street could hear her shouting.

Unexpectedly, someone here also sells fried dough sticks, and they sell them cheaper than Tang's earlier stall?

Seeing the thick fried dough sticks placed on the net bag seem to be bigger than Tang's, passers-by gathered around one after another.

"You also sell fried dough sticks? Is it as delicious as Tang's?"

Sixth Sister-in-Law patted her chest and assured her: "It must be a hundred times better than Tang's!"

"Really? This deep-fried dough stick looks greasy. Is it really only two pennies a piece? And free soy milk?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? Come here, you'll know after a taste!" As she said that, the sixth sister-in-law was going to help the customer wrap the fried dough sticks.

Standing outside the crowd, Ge Xunqing said to Hu Erlang: "This sixth sister-in-law is imitating sister Tang's frying fried dough sticks, how shameless!"

Hu Erlang also gritted his teeth: "Isn't this blatantly grabbing people's business!"

"Besides, Sister-in-law Liu's shop is opened in front of Jingyangfang, and more than half of the people in the city will pass by Sister-in-law's shop first. If Sister-in-law Liu stops them here, I'm afraid it will cause harm to Sister Tang's business." Small impact!"

Hu Erlang was also a little impatient, although he was disgusting, but Sixth Sister-in-Law was honestly doing business in her shop, and he had no way to stop it.

While they were hesitating in place, they heard someone say "Hey" in disgust.

"What the hell is this? It's not crispy at all!" A man who bought Mrs. Liu's fritters almost turned his face after taking a bite, "It's incomparable to Boss Tang's!"

Another person also said: "It's so hard, I can't bite at all. Sixth sister-in-law, do you sell fried dough sticks or rags? It's so unpalatable!"

Sister-in-law Six pointed at the man with the long chopstick in her hand: "How can it be impossible to bite! Don't talk nonsense to me!"

"It's really hard to bite. Don't say bitten, I can't stop pulling." The man really pulled it while talking, and it took a lot of force to tear the fried stick.

Not only these two people, but the four or five people who bought it just now also came back and asked sister-in-law Liu to return the money.

"It's too unpalatable, Sister-in-law Six, I really can't eat it, isn't your recipe right?"

"Sister-in-law Liu, your soy milk is too watery! It's like water! Boss Tang's soy milk is delicious, and there's sugar in it! It's so delicious!"

"Don't worry about grabbing business."

"She's the fried dough stick Xi Shi, and Liusister-in-law, you are probably the legendary Dong Shi."

Sixth sister-in-law was so angry that she almost threw the hot oil pan out.

Ge Xunqing and Hu Erlang laughed out loud.

"Deserving it."

"What's this called? Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog!"

A person came from the opposite direction, holding a hot cake in his hand, and he was gasping for breath.

Hu Erlang was curious, so he went over and asked him, "Sir, what kind of cake is this? It seems that eggs are still baked? What's in it? Vegetable leaves and meat?"

The man finished the big bite of shortbread he had just bitten off, and then he was willing to speak:

"Boss Tang has a new product! This is it, what is it called... Egg-filled pancakes! You can fill as many eggs as you want, add vegetables as you want, and you can add meat! Look, there is a big piece of meat for a penny! Delicious Get people to ascend to heaven!"

Ge Xunqing was anxious: "What! A new product? Why didn't I know?"

Hu Erlang immediately got into the carriage and took Ge Xunqing straight to Tang Jianwei's breakfast stall.

Others also threw Liusao's oily fruit aside one after another, and went to Jingyangfang with great interest, wanting to taste the deliciousness of fried dough sticks made by Xishi's skillful hands.

"Hey! Don't go!" Sixth Sister-in-Law shouted behind them, "One penny! No, do you want two pennies?!"

Tong Shaoxuan: The complex world of adults, I still need some time to digest TAT

Tang Jianwei: My daughter-in-law, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, I have mastered all aspects.

Tong Shaoxuan: ...
