Yangcheng

Tang Jianwei has also been to the market in Su County many times, but every time he stays in the food area in the south, he rarely comes to the clothing and daily use area.

Zitan walked behind her with Tang Guanqiu on his arm, and saw her shuttling through the various business houses, but couldn't find Tong Shaoxuan's pomegranate dress for a long time.

"Strange." Tang Jianwei frowned, "Ji Xue said she bought her pomegranate dress near here, why can't she find it?"

Zitan said: "Didn't you buy it last year? The style was also popular in Boling the year before last, so it may not be sold anymore."

Having said that, Tang Jianwei felt even more sad.

Ji Xue said that the smashed dress was Tong Shaoxuan's favorite, and he made up his mind to buy it after saving money for a long time, and he was reluctant to wear it on weekdays.

It was hard to wear it once, but happened to encounter this kind of thing.

The skirt was smashed, not to mention blood-stained, so it was doomed not to be saved.

Tang Jian Xiaoguang would be heartbroken to death after hearing what Ji Xue said, and he couldn't imagine how sad Tong Shaoxuan must be.

"Actually, Siniang didn't want us to tell you at first."

After Tong Shaoxuan fell asleep last night, Tang Jianwei grabbed Ji Xue and sat at the small wooden table in the east courtyard, asking her what happened.

Ji Xue was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to speak:

"I'm not sure what Si Niang thinks, but she really wants to protect you. When she was in the hospital, she urged the doctor to give the medicine quickly. Otherwise, when you come home and find that everyone is gone, you should be suspicious." .”

Tang Jianwei felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.

This silly boy...

Don't you know how fragile your body is?He actually carried twenty big boards for me.

Tang Jianwei knew how painful it was to beat someone with a stick. When she was in Boling before, someone in her circle of friends committed a crime. After hitting twenty big sticks, when she came back, her throat was bleeding, and her whole body was like a pool of rotten meat. After lying on the bed for a month, I could barely get off the ground.

That was a man with martial arts background.

Tong Shaoxuan's half-life hanging by various drugs, not to mention being beaten severely, even if no one beat her, a stronger wind might blow her to pieces.

Tang Jianwei imagined for a moment that if these twenty big boards were hit on her body, she would probably have to be photographed as a meatloaf and experience a traumatic disaster.

Severe pain, no matter who it is, it is a terrible torture.

"You have a family, Tang Jianwei, I am your family."

Probably Tong Shaoxuan heard what she said to Zitan before leaving, so he said this to comfort her.

Ye Niang passed away, and Tang Jianwei lost Boling's home, so when he smelled a little clue, he desperately took the risk and wanted to catch it.

But Tong Shaoxuan protected her with his fragile body and told her:

You still have a place to shelter from the elements and call it home.

You still have family members who are willing to protect you.

Is this what it feels like to be cared for...

Tong Shaoxuan is so righteous, Tang Jianwei will naturally pamper him back.

After going around a few times, she was sure that the same style of pomegranate skirt could not be bought in the market in Su County, so she wrote back to Boling, asking Wu Xianrong to buy it for her.

Boling Mansion gathers rare things from all over the world, and it is not difficult to find a pomegranate skirt.

Since she married to Su County, she still kept in touch with Wu Xianrong.

The postman from Su County was a little absent-minded, and it took more than a month to send a letter to Boling.Waiting for the other side to send it back is another month.

Sometimes the letter has already arrived in the county, but the credible envoy has not delivered it for a long time, and people have to go to the post office to find it.

Even so, she and Wu Xianrong still kept in touch, and within two months they were able to receive a thick reply letter, explaining everything in detail as much as possible.

In the letter, Tang Jianwei told her about things in Su County and Tong's family, while Wu Xianrong told her about Boling's recent situation and the changes in their circle of friends, except for her elder sister Wu Xianyi.

Not long after the last letter was sent, Tang Jianwei planned to chase a letter out, drawing every detail of the pomegranate skirt, coloring it well, and attaching a 50 tael silver ticket, asking Wu Xianrong to help her find it in the Boling Mansion. .

Please send it as soon as she finds it.

If the money is not enough, just tell her, and she will send it back.

In addition to Wu Xianrong, Uncle Chen, the groom of the Tang family, is also an important person Tang Jianwei needs to keep in touch with.

Uncle Chen told her in the letter that after she left Boling, Uncle Chen also left the Tang family and found a job at a royal horse farm in Boling to make ends meet.

I learned from Uncle Chen that ever since she beat Yang's mother and son hard in the name of asking for a dowry, the current Tang family has become worse day by day.

The restaurant business occupied by Yang's has become increasingly difficult to do.The chefs who followed her mother left one after another after her mother passed away. Today's Maoming Building has nothing to do with the formerly famous Maoming Building in the capital.

The old customers were very indignant after knowing what happened to the boss, they collectively denounced the Yang family, supported the Tang family, and said:

"As long as Su Maozhen's descendants don't go back to Maoming Building, they won't spend a penny for Maoming Building!"

Tang Jianwei read Uncle Chen's letter and felt happy and moved. He wrote back to Uncle Chen, hoping that he could help find out a person.

"This person is more than seven feet tall, has a very large body, and is not very skilled in riding. He is roughly between 35 and 45 years old. The most important feature is that there is an obvious scar on the back of the neck. The scar runs from the back of the neck all the way. It extends to the back, and only a section can be seen when wearing the clothes. This person may be related to the old case of the Tang family, if Uncle Chen has any impression of this person, he must inform Ah Shen in time!"

Tang Jianwei guessed that the man with the scar was not from Su County.

Men in Su County are generally shorter and thinner than men in Boling.Even a warrior like Hu Erlang who works in the yamen is not as tall as a civil servant like Tang Jianwei Aye.

The man with the scar was strong and strong, and the clothes in the yamen did not fit him very well. Moreover, Tang Jianwei grew up in Boling, so she was most familiar with the figure and aura of the man in Boling.

Even if she didn't see the face of the man with the scar, she could tell that he was most likely a Boling.

It would be best if Uncle Chen could find clues to prove that this person is really related to Ye Niang's case.

Tang Jianwei will not be discouraged if she can't find any clues or if it has nothing to do with her, she will continue to investigate.

The scarred man's whereabouts are so sneaky, he must be in collusion with She County Magistrate, hiding an ulterior secret.Tang Jianwei will definitely get back the slap that She County Magistrate slapped Tong Shaoxuan outrageously and unreasonably today.

She has already kept this account in her heart.

Sealed the two letters of letter with wax and put them in the bamboo basket with "Boling Mansion". When Tang Jianwei walked out of the post post, Zitan was dazzled by the glowing hairpin on her hair.

"Hey, Sanniang, what is this? Why have you never seen you wearing this hairpin before? Is it new?" Zitan asked her curiously.

"Yeah, does it look good?" Tang Jianwei turned his head around so that Zitan could see it more clearly.

"Good-looking is good-looking..." Zitan didn't know that it was given to her by Tong Shaoxuan, and he didn't know that Tang Jianwei had a hard time lighting the lamp last night before he managed to restore the green feather hairpin. He thought it was just a whim in the market. I bought it, and tell the truth,

"It's just a bit old-fashioned. The Song family's mistress wears it, and you wear it, it looks like ten years old."

Tang Jianwei: "... With your mouth, eat as much as you can, and talk less. Don't mention this in front of the Tong family just now, do you understand?"

"Huh? Did the Tong family give it to you?" Zitan held Tang Guanqiu's arm tightly, and immediately posted gossip, "Given it by the mistress?"

Tang Jianwei walked forward: "No."

"Who gave it to you? Hush! Don't tell me, let me guess! It wasn't given by the Tong family's mistress, but Tong Shaoxuan personally sent it?"

Tang Jian smiled and said nothing.

"No, she really gave it to you? Why did she send you a hairpin? Could it be to thank you for giving her twenty hairpins?"

Tang Jianwei's face darkened, and she was about to pinch her when she came over, so she quickly hid behind Tang Guanqiu.

"Don't make trouble with your sister!" Tang Jianwei led her to the front of Zitan by the back collar, "I asked you to hold my sister, why do you use her as a shield? Huh? See for yourself, does it look ridiculous?"

Tang Jianwei laughed while training, and Zitan was still shrinking his neck, but he saw Tang Jianwei's expression change from cloudy to clear with his own eyes.

It can even be said that it is not just "sunny", but the sun is blooming.

"I was wrong..." Zitan apologized, although Tang Jianwei didn't mean to be angry at all.

Tang Jianwei took Tang Guanqiu's arm and leaned his head on Tang Guanqiu's shoulder, with a gesture of sisterly love.

Zitan could tell that the green feather hairpin was indeed given by Tong Shaoxuan himself, and there was a tacit understanding between the two of them that was unknown to outsiders.

It must be the deep friendship made by the twenty big boards...

Tang Jianwei was happy for a moment, but when he thought of Tong Shaoxuan's injury, he immediately became sad again.

It's hard to raise her a few taels of meat, how about this time, it's good to start raising her again after a few sticks, maybe it will be demolished more thoroughly, and she will have to start from a worse situation.

Just now, I gave away 50 taels of silver to buy a skirt for Tong Shaoxuan, and I didn't have enough medicines and ingredients at home, so I had to buy some.

Tang Jianwei calculated how much money he needed, so his expression was naturally not very good.

Zitan watched the process of her emotional changes all the way around, and sighed in her heart, the mind of a woman in love is really unpredictable, seeing this changed face, she can be dragged directly to the stage to perform.

Tang Jianwei bought a lot of things at the market, but in the end he couldn't take them all, so he hired a bullock cart to carry them back to Tong's house.

When Tang Jianwei returned to the west courtyard, Tong Shaoxuan had just woken up.

She didn't know how long she slept, and she had countless terrible dreams. She dreamed that she was riding a horse. The horse was so fierce that no matter how many times she rode it, she would be thrown off.

Every time she landed, she landed firmly on the ground, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

Later, she was afraid and stopped riding the horse, but the horse flew into the air and insisted on her riding.

Tong Shaoxuan: "??"

She couldn't run the horse at all, and in the end the horse didn't know whether it became a spirit or a mad cow, so it just pushed her on the back and then threw her off.

Her poor little butt was in pain over and over again.

Tong Shaoxuan finally woke up, and the underwear he was wearing was wet.

She stared around in a daze, it was her own bedroom...

Great, it turned out to be a dream.

She wanted to stand up and get out of bed, but just as she had the thought of getting up, she felt a burst of overwhelming pain from her waist to her buttocks, as if this movement had torn herself in two.

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't hold it back, and let out a scream. After howling, the wound was affected, and the pain was even worse.

He didn't dare to move or shout anymore, even breathing carefully.

Tong Shaoxuan lay back on the bed again, remembering everything.

So it wasn't a dream... She was indeed injured.

And the reality is worse than the dream.

Tong Shaoxuan grabbed the blanket and panted, and after enduring a wave of heart-rending pain, he seemed to calm down a little.

Thinking of what Tang Jianwei said—the pain of menstruation, I can no longer feel it, and I am used to it.

This joke breaks into Tong Shaoxuan's mind at the right time, making her want to laugh but dare not laugh, for fear of hurting her wounds and making her feel better again.

The bedroom was occupied by an unpleasant smell of medicine, which she was used to since she was a child.

But if you sniff carefully, there seems to be a faint scent of citrus struggling in the strong and bitter medicinal smell, trying to float into Tong Shaoxuan's sense of smell.

The citrus fragrance was not contaminated by the smell of medicine at all. Whenever Tong Shaoxuan smelled the citrus fragrance, his spirit would be lifted, and it seemed that the pain was relieved a little.

The door was pushed open, and Ji Xue came in to check on Tong Shaoxuan.

"Ji Xue..." Tong Shaoxuan hummed softly.

"Si Niang, are you awake? How do you feel?"

The board was for Tang Jianwei herself, so she, Ye Niang, and her brothers were probably going to die of anger, and maybe she would take Tang Jianwei's anger at her.So she must not act too difficult at this time, she must be more relaxed and reduce her family's worries.

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Although I can't do a somersault right away, I still have the strength to eat."

The corners of Ji Xue's mouth were raised, and she was about to laugh out loud, but she sighed again, continued to frown, and sat beside her bed:

"Si Niang, why are you bothering?"

"Where is the pain? I am practicing and accumulating blessings for myself. Practicing boundless love and accumulating more blessings. Maybe the king of hell will be merciful and don't accept me so quickly. Hey? As a result, I live a long life It's a hundred years old." Tong Shaoxuan was about to laugh, but he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp cough.

After coughing violently, her body heaved and fell uncontrollably, the wound was implicated cleanly, the pain was so painful that she could no longer make fun of it, the teardrops hung around her eyes, and she did not move.

Ji Xue didn't know what to say to her, so she told her not to speak: "I'll bring you some tea, and I need to change your medicine. Don't talk or move, I'll be right back."

Ji Xue went out to find Song Qiao and said that Siniang was awake.

Song Qiao took his family to the house to see his daughter, because Tong Shaoxuan's injury was special, it was inconvenient for Tong Changting and Tong Boyi to go in, so they waited outside, and Song Qiao and Tong Shaoqian came in.

"My Anian, how are you? Does it hurt?" Song Qiao cried as soon as he opened his mouth. How could Tong Shaoxuan see this scene, turned his face in and said:

"Aniang, what are you doing, I'm not dead."

"Bah, bah, bah! What depressing words! Don't mention those life and death!"

"Okay, I won't mention it, so don't cry either." Tong Shaoxuan quickly wiped away his tears, adjusted his mentality and turned back, smiling, "Sister, sister, you should be happy."

Tong Shaoqian said angrily with red eyes: "What nonsense! We are so happy that you are like this!"

"Twenty blows." Tong Shaoxuan stretched out two fingers, "Your sister and I received twenty blows. Ordinary people would be killed if they were beaten, but I'm still fine. It means that I look weak, In fact, I am very strong. Maybe after this battle, I will be able to go up the mountain and go to the sea later, and it is not a problem to ride a horse to fight..."

"Come on." Tong Shaoqian told her to stop quickly, "It's just you, who still ride horses to fight, so learn how to ride horses first."

It has to be said that although Tong Shaoxuan's mouth never stopped, her optimism made Tong Shaoqian's distressed and depressed heart feel a little better.

Tong Shaoqian lamented: "Our Tong family doesn't know what's going on, our sisters' buttocks are blooming one after another. It's almost New Year's Day, and when you can walk, you have to go to the temple to worship."

Song Qiao is his own mother after all, and Tong Shaoqian's tone reveals a rather indifferent attitude. It seems that he doesn't feel bad for his sister anymore, and said angrily:

"Do you need to be reminded how your ass bloomed? Isn't it because you are dishonest? If you don't learn to be good, I will teach it to bloom!"

Tong Shaoqian: "?!"

What did I say wrong again?

It's wrong to ask to go to the temple to worship, right?

Feeling that what she said was wrong, she simply didn't speak, and just did chores on the sidelines.

Song Qiao helped Tong Shaoxuan change her dressing, depending on her wound.

When she changed her dressing last time, she was in a semi-conscious state, completely shameless, so she just changed it.

At this moment, the consciousness is very clear, even A Niang is a little thin-skinned, and she wants to come by herself.

"Why do you come by yourself? You can't get enough." Song Qiao carefully opened his clothes and trousers, saw the bloody wound, and didn't get angry.

Knowing that this child is righteous, but her daughter is the flesh that fell from her body, if she doesn't hurt, who will hurt?

The baby who is afraid of melting in his mouth on weekdays, but now he is hurt like this... It's all caused by Tang's nonsense!

The more Song Qiao thought about it, the angrier he got. He made such a disaster before he even got through the door, and caused Ah Nian to suffer a lot. If he really got through the door, I'm afraid this child's mansion is not enough for her!

"Oh, I said to do it myself. I have long arms, why can't I reach it?" Tong Shaoxuan was still arguing with her, Song Qiao said angrily:

"Lie down and don't move! I said that I will give you the medicine, and I will give you the medicine. Why, mother can't control you anymore?!"

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

After being yelled at by her mother, Tong Shaoxuan obediently lay back on his stomach, as stable as a bastard.

Scolding Tong Shaoxuan was not enough, Song Qiao turned around and scolded Tong Shaoqian again:

"You said that all of you know to cause trouble for me and make me angry all day long! You're all grown up, when will you be able to put your mind at ease?"

Tong Shaoqian died wronged: "What does this have to do with me?!"

"Why don't you say it's none of your business? What happened to you and that Zhai Jiawulang? You won't let me tell you a matchmaker, so you have to find it yourself! You should find one for your mother to see! The one who has been tossing and tossing It didn't work! Your sister will be ahead of you!"

Tong Shaoqian didn't dare to speak anymore, and quietly made eye contact with his sister.

Don't argue with A Niang, Tong Shaoxuan persuaded the third sister, you can't compete with her.Remember the pain in the butt?If you keep talking, you'll have to lie here with me.

Tong Shaoqian flattened his mouth, how could I have such an unreasonable mother and trouble-making younger sister.

……

When Tang Jianwei and the others bought a lot of things and moved them back to the west courtyard, the sun had already set, and the smell of food wafted through the streets and workshops, making Tang Jianwei, who had been shopping all day, hungry.

Zitan asked her enthusiastically: "Sanniang Sanniang, what should we eat tonight?"

Tang Jianwei said, "Aren't there some leftovers at lunch? Go and heat them up and eat them."

Zitan: "Huh? Just eat the leftovers..."

"I have to send something to the East Courtyard. If you can wait, wait until I come back and cook something decent for you."

"It's okay, I'll take care of the leftovers first, and I'll have another meal when you come back, so I have room to pretend!" Zitan patted his stomach triumphantly.

Although I didn't buy a pomegranate skirt, I still had to buy one and pay Tong Shaoxuan first, and wait for Wu Xianrong to give me a letter, and then pay for the exact same one.

Tong Shaoxuan prefers red skirts on weekdays, so Tang Jianwei bought a red high-waisted skirt and a moonlight yellow shawl.Guessing that Tong Shaoxuan's size is smaller than his own, it should fit just right.

In addition to the skirt, she also took out her favorite pair of peacock-patterned jade comb backs from the set of jewelry that Boling brought back from the dowry brought by Bo Ling, intending to give it to Tong Shaoxuan.

The back of this jade comb is also a pair - two peacocks spread their wings and look at each other, very romantic.

In fact, she was a little bit reluctant, after all, this was the only token she snatched back, the only thought left to her by her mother...

She naturally wants to cherish it for a lifetime.

She has concerns about handing it over to others, but Tong Shaoxuan is different.

Tong Shaoxuan is young, but he is a delicate and gentle person with a reassuring temperament.

When precious things are handed over to her, she will definitely take good care of them.

Tang Jianwei took the skirt and jade comb and went to the east courtyard. At this time, Song Qiao and Tong Shaoqian had just left, and Tong Shaoxuan discovered something extraordinary.

Where is my green feather hairpin? !

There are obviously two pairs, why is there only one left? !

The remaining one was also broken... only Cui Yu managed to stick the two parts together.

broken?Why is my baby broken?What the hell happened? !

This pair of green feather hairpins is Tong Shaoxuan's life.

When I got engaged to the Tang family eight years ago, I wanted to send it out, but I didn't have a chance.Eight years later, a new opportunity came, and the person who wanted to give it away was still the same one. Tong Shaoxuan had already brought them to Tang Jianwei on the day he was hit by the board. What happened next?

Tong Shaoxuan tried his best to recall.

After carrying the [-] boards, I started to have a fever, my brain was burnt, and some memories were fragmented, and I couldn't remember much...

and many more.

Lying on the bed holding the hairpin, Tong Shaoxuan suddenly remembered that he gave it to Tang Jianwei.

Yes, she gave one of the hairpins to Tang Jianwei... and said something extremely sensual.

I am your family.

Is this really what I said...

Why not dream?

Tong Shaoxuan, who confuses dreams and reality, has never imagined that the warm dream she thought had actually happened.

She has already given one of the betrothal gifts to Tang Jianwei.

And Tang Jianwei was staring at the Cuiyu hairpin, and seemed to be in tears...

Tong Shaoxuan thought of this scene, and a deer in his heart began to contradict him non-stop.

Was Tang Jianwei moved?

It's really rare that the young master of the Ax Gang will cry...

Tong Shaoxuan hugged the pillow and laughed, trying to turn over happily, but she almost cried out in pain.

Although this is a good thing, what should I say when we meet next time?

Tong Shaoxuan was troubled.

She couldn't guess what Tang Jianwei was thinking now.

Fortunately, her injury won't heal for a while, and it should be a long time before I see Tang Jianwei next time...

"A Nian."

A call sounded, and Tong Shaoxuan looked at the door in surprise.

Tang Jianwei had already appeared at the door of the bedroom!

The two were separated by a door and a wall. When Tong Shaoxuan heard Tang Jianwei's voice, he subconsciously grabbed the quilt and wrapped himself up in a panic.

"You, what are you doing?"

Tang Jianwei didn't understand what she said: "Of course I came to see you. You just need to be awake, I opened the door and came in."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: I took your token, I am yours now, what are you hiding, open the door (began to smash the door

Tong Shaoxuan: ...The small theater is actually a series? ?

[A small reminder, Tang Jianwei has practiced martial arts, and he runs faster and stronger, but he is either a martial arts master with outstanding insight, or an ordinary person. 】
