Yangcheng

On the way to the front hall, Tang Jianwei didn't take off the surprised expression of "Qiankun can still play like this" from his face.

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't stand it anymore:

"I said you... aren't you a noble lady from Boling? Aren't you a well-informed and wealthy daughter from the capital? Why did such a trivial matter scare you into a daze. This is not like you, Tang Jianwei."

Tong Shaoxuan felt that she couldn't just put her in the front hall like this. If she didn't guide her properly, she might not arrive at the dinner table in a while, and she would have to stare at the elder sister and sister-in-law all afternoon.

"Of course I've heard of similar upside-downs." Tang Jian shrunk his shoulders and looked excited, "But they are all in legends, and they rarely come into close contact."

"...Why don't they let them stamp you as a souvenir later?"

"Tsk, I'm just curious in private, and I don't know what to say in front of them. Am I just like your little domestic servant who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?"

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't refute, he sighed and said: "Indeed, this time it's Qiu Xin and the others talking nonsense, it's time to talk about it, I have already trained them just now, you You don't need to mention it in front of my aunt, otherwise, my aunt will withhold all their money for this month."

Tang Jianwei stared at her meaningfully for a moment: "You are kind-hearted. Unfortunately, kind-hearted people are not suitable for officialdom."

"You think I'm not suitable to be an official anymore?" The two walked through the bamboo forest side by side.

"It's not that it's absolutely unsuitable. You've read so many books, so you naturally know that there are turbulent intrigues and undercurrents in the officialdom. What I'm worried about is that if you are as simple and kind as you are now after entering the officialdom, I'm afraid you will be eaten to the bone. Not left."

Tang Jianwei naturally thought of her, Aye.Aye was upright and upright all his life, and he knew how to be an official, but in the end he died unexplainably, which shows how fierce and brutal the open and secret struggles between the central officialdom parties are.

Although Tong Shaoxuan has extraordinary intelligence, is her personality really suitable for an official?

Tang Jianwei was a little worried.

From being curious about the upside-down universe to worrying about Tong Shaoxuan's career path seamlessly, Tang Jianwei has reached the front hall unknowingly.

Today, the front hall of Tong's mansion is very lively, everyone is there, Tong Changting cheerfully asks Tang Jianwei to call her sister over, so that everyone can reunite.

Tang Jianwei went to the west courtyard and walked to the front hall with Tang Guanqiu on his arm. As soon as he reached the bamboo forest, Tang Guanqiu heard lively laughter and stopped in fear:

"Mother, where are we going?"

Tang Jianwei found that she was still calling A Niang when she spoke this time, and it seemed that she hadn't regarded herself as Shen Yue for a while.

"Do you remember, Jing? Today is Yuan Day, the first day of the new year, and we will have lunch with the Tong family. Don't be afraid, Jing, the Tong family is fine, and it will be fine for Jing to follow Auntie."

Tang Guanqiu seemed to understand but didn't understand and didn't make a sound. Tang Jianwei stayed with her in the bamboo forest for a while, and didn't go in right away. He went there when she wanted to, and didn't force her.

Tang Jianwei knew that after her sister was ill, she didn't like crowded places, and any movement might frighten her.

But for so many years to come, she will live with the Tong family. If her sister can accept the Tong family and get along well with the Tong family, she can also devote more energy to running the business.

She brought her sister here today because she wanted to take the first step.

If my sister is really unwilling, she will not force it. This kind of thing needs to be done step by step, not forced.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Xue came from the other side of the bamboo forest, "The mistress said she didn't look at anyone for a long time, so she asked me to come and look for you. What's the matter?"

Ji Xue said the first sentence to Tang Jianwei, and then she turned to Tang Guanqiu in the next sentence, her voice was soft and extremely gentle, as soft as a feather, she brushed into Tang Guanqiu's ears lightly, fearing that a little louder would frighten her .

All Tang Jianwei's attention fell on Ji Xue, and Ji Xue seemed to have not noticed it at all, just staring at Tang Guanqiu, waiting for her to speak.

Tang Guanqiu said in a low voice: "They are all human, inside."

"Are you afraid of them? They are all kind people and won't hurt you." Ji Xue pulled her hands and smiled, "And I'm right here, and I'll stand behind you when you go in later. I will always be with you, are you still afraid?"

What kind of tone is this to coax a child...

Tang Jianwei was shocked. When did the relationship between the two of them develop to such an intimate level?

Is it because I get up early in the morning and leave the stall in the dark all day long, so I didn't notice it at all?

What made her even more unbelievable was that her sister really relaxed a little because of Ji Xue's persuasion, and she was willing to look up in the direction of the front hall, as if she was persuaded.

"Then let's go." Ji Xue turned her head and smiled at Tang Jian with a sense of accomplishment, handed Tang Guanqiu's hand to Tang Jianwei, motioned for her to lead her, turned and walked in front, and headed towards the front hall.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Tang Guanqiu followed quickly, almost pulling Tang Jianwei forward, trying to keep up with Ji Xue's pace.

Tang Jianwei tried his best to tell himself, didn't he want his sister and the Tong family to get along well?It's a good thing to have a good relationship with Ji Xue now... right?

Not everyone likes the same sex, don't think too much, don't think too much...

Ji Xue led Tang Guanqiu into the front hall, and took her to sit in one of the two vacant chairs beside Tong Shaoxuan.

When Tang Jianwei sat down next to Tong Shaoxuan, Ji Xue moved a step, and Tang Guanqiu turned back to look for her anxiously.

"Don't be afraid, Ah Jing. I'm right here. I won't leave." Ji Xue leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I told you, I'll stand behind you. When you want to call me, you can call me back. They're all there."

After hearing her words, Tang Guanqiu actually smiled at her.

Tang Jian gasped slightly.

How long has it been since my sister smiled at me!

Now he is so dependent on an outsider, and even smiled at her!

Tang Jianwei's heart was so sore, the eldest sister and sister-in-law came to pass her wine, and she even pretended to be smiling...

Tong Shaoxuan watched her secretly and witnessed the whole process of her forced smile.

When the eldest brother wanted to pour wine for her again, Tang Jianwei hesitated a little. Tong Shaoxuan thought that she didn't want to drink too much, but it was difficult for the elders who were older to pour wine to refuse, so he stood up holding his own wine glass and stood in front of Tang Jianwei explain:

"Brother, Tang Sanniang has a mediocre capacity for alcohol, and she will get drunk if she drinks any more. Can you pour it for me?"

Tong Boyi: "Where do you know how to drink?"

"Why not? I'm about to get married, and I will drink after I didn't drink before! Come, come, fill me up!"

Tong Boyi lost his mind for a moment, and turned to look at Ye Niang.

"Okay, I'll give her a drink." Song Qiao said, "A-Nian is an adult, and she is about to start a family. From now on, she has to make up her own mind. But I still have to tell you, if you are curious about things like wine, Just drink, but don't be greedy, drinking too much will hurt your body."

Tong Shaoxuan was respectful and obedient on the surface, but he said in his heart: What does this kind of spicy and pungent thing taste like, I have already tasted it secretly, why would anyone like to drink?Anyway, I don't like to drink.

After receiving the wine, Tong Shaoxuan sat back, Tang Jianwei looked at her quietly for a moment, then said softly:

"Thanks."

"Huh?" Tong Shaoxuan didn't seem to understand what she was talking about, "I'm afraid that you are too good at drinking, if you drink all the wine at home during the Chinese New Year and no one else has to drink, what should I do? "

Tang Jianwei saw that she was concerned about her appearance despite her inappropriate words, a warmth surged in her heart, which diluted a lot of the sourness just now.

"How do you know that I can drink it?" Tang Jianwei took a sip of tea, "To tell you the truth, my most famous nickname in Boling is none other than 'The Rakshasa, the Feast Girl'. As long as I, Tang Jianwei, come and go In the banquet, there is no one who will not be left on the table by me!"

"Listen to your nonsense." Does Tong Shaoxuan know her yet?After inquiring about her for so long, no one has ever said that she has such a scary nickname, Tong Shaoxuan smiled with the intention of debunking her, "I've never heard of the banquet girl Rakshasa." .”

Tang Jianwei didn't expect her to be so outspoken, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and immediately followed her words: "Then have you heard of anything else?"

Tong Shaoxuan's heart skipped a beat, his face turned emotional, and he secretly called "Oops"——

How did I tell the truth? !

In this way, wouldn't Tang Jianwei know that I have been silently inquiring about her?

Tong Shaoxuan picked up the cup in his hand and took a few sips of it. Tang Jianwei let out a "hey" before she realized that what was poured into her mouth was nothing but the wine that her elder brother had just poured for her.

"Cough cough cough --" Tong Shaoxuan was so hot that he coughed again and again, his little face flushed.

Tang Jianwei hurriedly helped her with her back, and asked her: "What's the matter with you? My child, what did you think of that scared you like this."

Tong Boyi kept tsk-tsk beside him: "Look, I told you not to drink, and you poured it in big gulps, drinking so recklessly, you can tell it's not for drinking at a glance."

Tong Boyi laughed at his sister here, Song Qiao gave him a bad look and said:

"You still have the guts to say it? You're the only one who knows how to drink, and the only one who can hold alcohol? Forgot the last time you got drunk and stepped into the air and fell into the pigsty? The pigs were almost scared to death by you! The blood on the ground is the wine you drank before!"

Tong Boyi's face was flushed by his mother's words: "How long ago did this happen to my old lady, there are so many people, and you still make fun of me..."

Song Qiao said: "What's the matter with so many people? They are all from my own family! This is all done by you yourself. Did Aniang wrong you?"

Tong Changting spoke from the side: "That's right, it's all stupid things you did yourself. It's the new year, and your mother will shake off all the lessons from the past, so that you can remember the truth of learning from a pitfall. ..."

Song Qiao continued before he finished flattering:

"It's about the same for you. You still insist on drinking three glasses of wine. When you get drunk, don't I go to hump you?"

Tong Changting: "..."

At the wrong time to flatter...

Song Qiao turned back to his son and said, "Look at you, Aye, you always down three glasses. You are not a good drinker at all. I am the only one in the whole family who can drink a few glasses. How good are you?"

Tong Boyi didn't dare to speak anymore, and Tong Changting also shut himself off.

Tong Shaoqian was watching the excitement from the sidelines, his mouth shut with joy, Song Qiao lightly gave her a look, and she immediately sat upright, not daring to say a word, for fear that A Niang would shake her old bottom off.

With Song Qiao throwing bricks to attract jade, the Lu family also began to tell interesting stories about the children of the Lu family, saying that Lu Fan was very timid when he was a child, and he dared not sleep by himself when he was more than ten years old, so he insisted on squeezing with her mother...

While chatting hotly at the other end, Tong Shaoxuan recovered now, with the embarrassment of changing the subject and seeing the family style problem, he turned his body slightly, and said in Tang Jianwei's ear:

"My grandmother used to be a prince and grand teacher. People who are used to being teachers are very good at being teachers, whether they are outside or at home, and they are very good at teaching people. Look at my mother, she is obviously abused by her old man, and she is a bit displeasing to the eye. She has to explain things clearly, regardless of occasion or time, and she doesn't care about face. Don't be scared, but she is not a bad person."

Tang Jianwei was helping her sister pick up some food, so he couldn't understand why this brat was explaining so seriously, but he was deliberately diverting the conversation elsewhere.

Just teasing her had almost choked her up, so Tang Jianwei let her go again and continued following her topic:

"When I first came to Suxian County, I knew what kind of person your mother is. The most hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Don't worry, I understand..."

Having said that, Tang Jianwei has a long-standing question and wants Tong Shaoxuan to help her answer it:

"Why did your grandmother's family leave Boling in the first place? The crown prince and grand master are the heads of the three masters in the Eastern Palace. If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had really ascended to the throne, your grandmother would have held the center in her hand, with one person under ten thousand. What happened and she wanted to come all the way to Angzhou?"

While Tong Shaoxuan was drinking tea, she explained to Tang Jianwei the adulthood stories that Aniang had told her about the relationship between her grandmother and the eldest princess.

After listening to it, Tang Jianwei was stunned again. The meat he just picked up to send to his sister's bowl almost fell on the table.

This anecdote about the royal family's secrets and palaces is more exciting than the fun of the universe!

"So——" Tang Jianwei's voice was so low that it couldn't be lower, and he pulled Tong Shaoxuan almost under the table, "So, the eldest princess was deeply hurt because of your grandmother, and she has been depressed ever since, and she stepped down as the crown prince. The position of the emperor is now the emperor? It’s amazing, I didn’t expect your grandmother to change the fate of the whole country with the power of one person!”

Tong Shaoxuan frowned and said: "I'm not sure, but this is human nature, right? If what my aunt said is true, the eldest princess is indeed too much to love, and she is heartbroken."

"It's possible. After all, the eldest princess and today's son are sisters born to the same mother. During the first month, the emperors of the big banquets have never left the elder sister behind, and it doesn't look like there is any quarrel... because the eldest princess lost her beloved. She has no intention of governing the country, so she personally gave up the position of the crown prince? The throne can be given up, it seems that she and the emperor have a very good relationship. In this way, it makes sense that she could easily get the imperial edict when I bestowed the marriage .”

She understands the truth, but as long as she thinks about that cold-faced eldest princess, when she was young, she would stand in the snow all night for her teacher who is 25 years older than her, Tang Jianwei feels that this is too mysterious ,unimaginable.

So the absurdity of Wei Ci's subsequent series of "opening the harem" is also because he wants to stab Sun Yin's heart across thousands of miles?

Too silly?

If Changsun Yin really loved her a little bit, he would not be willing to let her feel sad from the very beginning.

If the one you love really doesn't care, why bother to torture yourself?

Thinking of this, Tang Jianwei thought about the past when he was so enthusiastic about giving to the wrong person, and felt a little bit for Wei Ci.

At the same time, I am even more looking forward to seeing my eldest grandson Yin on the day of my wedding, so as to see what this great Confucian who can win the infatuation of people like Wei Ci looks like.

Tong Shaoxuan saw the expression on Tang Jianwei's face and the constant questioning, and unconsciously savored it in his heart.

Tang Jianwei and the eldest princess really have a close relationship...

When it came to the eldest princess's emotional injury, did Tang Jianwei feel sad along with her?

"Hey! Hey! I said you two, what are you doing!" Tong Shaoqian, who was sitting on the other side of Tong Shaoxuan, tugged her, "The whole family is eating, why are you hiding under the table? You haven't married yet What, are you making a bridal chamber here?"

Tong Shaoxuan felt upset, and glared at her: "Are you envious? Let your Zhai Wulang welcome you in!"

As soon as he mentioned that damn Zhai Wulang, Tong Shaoqian was so angry that he and Tong Shaoxuan pinched each other under the table.

This pair of sisters who lived in the same family since they were young, they were about the same age and had very different personalities, and they grew up arguing.

Since they were able to talk and jump, more than half of the screaming and chasing at home were made by the two of them, and they are still fifteen or sixteen years old.

These two people were about to hit the bottom of the table, and even Tang Jianwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't persuade him after several attempts.

Tong Shaolin, who was next to Tong Shaoqian, kicked in the air, and fell silent immediately.

Tang Jianwei was almost dumbfounded.

Is it so violent?

The couple from the Lu family and the second elder from the Tong family were still chatting enthusiastically. When they heard the sound, they stopped and looked here: "What's wrong? What's that sound?"

Tong Shaolin smiled and said: "It's okay, I saw a cockroach just now, and it was already trampled to death. Don't look for Ah Shen, Ah Nian, my sister has already solved it, you come up quickly."

Tong Shaoqian and Tong Shaoxuan each had half of the shoe print on their faces, and sat down obediently.

Tang Jianwei was shocked.

The eldest sister didn't even look under the table, and she kicked it so accurately when she stepped in casually?And judging from the shoe prints on the faces of the two of them, the kicks were fairly evenly distributed, and neither of them took advantage of it.

In the end, it is the one who can restore the eldest daughter of the gang to Kun, which is amazing.

Aunt He performed very well today. Apart from the fancy pickles that she is best at, several meat dishes are also well-prepared and can be regarded as edible.

Tang Jianwei ate a few mouthfuls out of curiosity, but saw that the Lu family couple across the street had already picked up the third bowl of rice, and even the fried shredded white radish was swept away. Tang Jianwei didn't quite understand...

Is the family situation of the Lu family worse than that of the Tong family?Can't eat radishes on weekdays?

At the end of the meal, I don't know why Tong Shaoxuan was a little unhappy. Tang Jianwei thought that she was kicked in the face by her elder sister after having a fight with her third sister. Without talking to her, he took Tang Guanqiu back to the West Courtyard to prepare skewers for the night market.

Xu Dalang asked someone to bring over fifty altars of wine, all of which were piled up in the corner of the west courtyard, and the box of gifts sent by Wu Xianrong almost filled the small courtyard of the west courtyard.

Among them, Tang Jianwei had brought two altars to the east courtyard to drink just now, and when she came back, he put the prepared meat skewers and oven into the cart, and placed the high chair and low table on the cart.

This big pile of things was so many and heavy, she thought it would be difficult to push the car after being heavy, but she didn't expect that the car modified by Tong Shaoxuan's skillful hands was still very smooth and easy to push, and could even drive the wheels from the push handle The steering is extremely flexible.

Even if there are twice as many things, it is estimated that she can easily implement them by herself.

Every time Tang Jianwei used this cart, he felt a little emotional, Tong Shaoxuan is really a genius...

The family dinner at noon took a lot of time, and it was almost dusk at this time, Tang Jianwei planned to transport the batch of things to the gate of the workshop, let Zitan arrange it first, and then she would come back to transport the wine.

Carrying wine is a hassle. Tang Jianwei has a lot of strength, but even a strong man still struggles to lift the heavy wine.

Tang Jianwei stood by the cart, staring at the pot-bellied wine jar in a daze—what should I do?

Just when Tang Jianwei was feeling worried, he heard the sound of crackling melon seeds behind him.

"Give me another plate of fairy bean cake, and I'll help you carry the wine into the car."

Tong Shaoxuan leaned against the vermilion lacquer columns in the veranda, and raised his eyebrows slightly at Tang Jian while eating melon seeds.

"You help me carry the wine? Don't be ashamed, how can you lift your little arms and legs?"

"I can't really lift my arms and legs. But I don't have brute force, but I have this." She nodded her head with her fingers.

Tang Jian squinted at her: "I just finished eating, where did you get the belly to eat fairy bean cake?"

"I didn't eat just now, I've got my stomach full, and I'm hungry. Just say you want to make a deal with me. If you don't need it, I can leave."

"Hey? Come back!"

Tong Shaoxuan stood still.

"Okay, you're amazing. You've already learned how to play against me? It's not that I don't give you fairy bean cakes. The one I made before was just for you to eat, right? I don't have time to do it. You see, time is running out, and I have to go to work."

"Who asked you to do it now? You can do it whenever you have time, but you have to write an IOU, which clearly states that you owe Tong Shao a plate of fairy bean cake!"

"You said that besides eating, you have other pursuits all day long?"

"It used to be there, but it gradually disappeared after I met you." Tong Shaoxuan saluted her, "Thank you Tang Sanniang for your cultivation."

"I know you are smarter than your mouth, so don't fight with your sister, you go get the guy, and I will write the IOU."

Tong Shaoxuan refused: "How can I be so easy to deceive, you write first, and then I will fuck the guy."

Tang Jianwei had no choice but to go into the room, and walked out quickly:

"It's finished, here. In addition to the fairy bean cake, I will also give you a bowl of health soup."

Tang Jianwei gave her the IOU full of paintings.

Hearing the words "Health-preserving Soup", Tong Shaoxuan felt the bitter water in his stomach welling up. The health-preserving soup made by Tang Jianwei was no different from medicine, and he took a sip of it to pierce his intestines.

"Health soup is unnecessary..." Tong Shaoxuan originally wanted to tear off the "Health Soup" part of the IOU, but found that there was an ink painting by Tang Jianwei on this paper, so he didn't have the heart to desecrate it for a while, but just neatly arranged the paper Stack them up and put them away.

"I just want fairy bean cake! I also want taro root buffalo milk flavor!"

"Okay..." Tang Jianwei saw her careful actions when collecting the paper, and was a little happy, with a smile on his face unconsciously, "But you let me see what kind of ingenuity Tong Daxian has to move these Wine jar, let me open my eyes."

Tong Shaoxuan: "Just wait, I will definitely open your eyes!"

Tang Jianwei was really looking forward to what kind of shocking treasure Tong Shaoxuan would show her.

The result was beyond her expectations.

Tong Shaoxuan called her eldest brother, Uncle Chai, and two young servants, and quickly loaded the wine jar into the cart. Tong Boyi volunteered to push the cart to the gate of the workshop, but Tang Jianwei declined.

"I can do it myself! Thank you big brother, Uncle Chai and everyone for your hard work!" Tang Jianwei thanked repeatedly, while Tong Shaoxuan watched the fun from the sidelines.

Well, in the end, she not only owed Tong Shaoxuan a plate of fairy bean cakes, but also owed Tong Boyi and the others a large favor...

Tang Jianwei glared at Tong Shaoxuan - you can do it!

Tong Shaoxuan smiled quietly: "I have the ingenuity to move the wine jar, but I didn't ask anyone to move it directly and quickly. This is called courage and strategy!"

"Yes, you are amazing. Go and rest, and I'll pour you a mouthful of health soup when I'm done!"

But Tong Shaoxuan still didn't leave, and followed Tang Jianwei to the direction of Fangmen, grabbed the front of the car and helped her control it, which was considered to save energy.

"I'll go with you, I'm fine anyway."

"You want to follow me out of the stall?"

"Yes."

Under the setting sun, the girl looked back, smiling like a delicate flower bud.

Tang Jianwei found that she was really suitable for that box of pink rouge.

"Come out with me, you are not afraid of the smoke, are you? It will blacken your tender face."

"Don't be afraid, I'll come back after two days of raising it."

The two walked towards the setting sun together, and the sky was full of red clouds stretching over the sky above their heads from a distance.

In the boundless world, although the two of them are insignificant, at this moment they walk forward together, their shadows form a pair.

"Hey! Tang Jianwei, I seem to be a little taller than you! Come over and compare with me!"

"How is it possible? It's a good idea!" Tang Jianwei didn't retreat but advanced, resolutely not comparing her height with her, and ran away pushing the car.

Tong Shaoxuan was also aroused by her fighting spirit, and chased after her.

The laughter of the two echoed in this small county town, and the heaven and the earth were full of spring.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: As long as I don’t compare, you are Schrödinger’s taller, and there will never be someone who is taller than me→-→
