Yangcheng

A few days later, Shen Wulang paid a sudden visit to Tong's Mansion. When Song Qiao and Tong Changting heard Uncle Chai's announcement and walked to the front hall, they saw a large box on the table beside Shen Wulang.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Song Qiao asked him why he made a sudden visit today.

Shen Wulang bowed his hands to the two of them in shame and said: "Thanks to the care of my master for the past few years, the old man has been feeling physically weak these days, and his body is no longer what it used to be. Two farewells."

"Are you going?"

"Yes, it's time for the old man to retire and return to his hometown, so that he can spend his old age in peace."

"Then this is..." Tong Changting glanced at the box on the table and asked Shen Wulang.

"This is my... gratitude to your family over the years."

Song Qiao opened the box, lifted the lid, and the silver cakes filled with it flickered, which startled them both.

"Shen Guanshi, what is the meaning of this?"

"If you hadn't taken care of me for the past eight years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live so comfortably. In short... you two must accept it."

Shen Wulang shook his head while talking, it didn't look like he was full of gratitude, but he clearly had a look of guilt.

Tong Changting wanted to say something more, but Song Qiao patted him on the back secretly, and he didn't say any more.

Shen Wulang left, and they left the box of silver, which was about 300 taels.

Song Qiao and Tong Changting looked at the big box of silver in their room and sighed:

"I didn't expect him to steal so much money from us all these years! If Ah Shen hadn't chased him back fiercely, we would still be kept in the dark!"

Tong Changting sighed for a long time: "It's true that you know people, face, but not heart. According to Madam, what should we do with the money?"

Song Qiao thought for a while and said, "I plan to hand over all the money to Ah Shen, and let her decide how to spend it. What do you think?"

Tong Changting nodded and said, "Since she chased it back, it should be so. I don't have any objections."

"That's good, let's send the money over now."

Tang Jianwei was preparing ingredients for tomorrow's stall in the east courtyard. Tong Shaoxuan wanted to help her by cutting up mutton, but Tang Jianwei refused.

"Why do you do such rough work, wouldn't it be good to go to the house and read a few more books?"

Tong Shaoxuan was wronged and wronged: "I have finished reading all the books at home, and the academy is not open during the first month, so I have no place to borrow them."

"Hey, you just finished reading such a large pile of books in our house? You can read fast enough."

"Because I can read two books at the same time, how many books are there? I can finish reading in one afternoon."

"...Can you read two books at a time?" Tang Jianwei wondered if he had heard it wrong, "How can you read two books at a time without your eyeballs branching?"

"As long as two volumes of books that are somewhat related are placed up and down, not only can they be read at the same time, but also can be compared together to explore the differences in ideas and writing between the lines. You can try it later, it is very interesting, and it is better than a single volume. The book is interesting."

"...I have never been able to double-task like you in my whole life. After all, I am not a child prodigy. You said that you can read two volumes at the same time. Can you be so distracted when doing other things?"

"Tang Jianwei, why do I feel that you mean to mock me inside and outside of what you said?"

"Why am I mocking you? I'm asking a serious question. Look at what you're thinking about?"

"You think I can't hear that you are mocking me behind your back with your sharp tongue?"

Tong Shaoxuan deeply felt that he couldn't be intimidated by Tang Jianwei every time, so he mustered up his courage and said with his arms crossed:

"If you have the ability, don't get into my bed tonight."

She threw out this sentence arrogantly and arrogantly, which she thought would make Tang Jian blush slightly, but she saw Song Qiao and Tong Changting coming out of the bamboo forest path.

Hearing what Tong Shaoxuan said, Song Qiao beamed with joy:

"You two are consummated already?"

Song Qiao's words were too scary, Tang Jianwei almost cut off his finger with a knife.

Tong Shaoxuan was extremely remorseful: "Aniang, what are you talking about..."

"What did I say? Didn't I follow your words?"

Song Qiao, who used to know how to restrain himself in front of the young girl, is not so particular about the married Tong Shaoxuan now, and the jokes between adults are open.

Tong Shaoxuan, who was thinking of giving Tang Jianwei a disgrace, regretted that his aunt made his face burn.

"I didn't mean what you thought! Stop talking, I'm going back to my room to study."

Tang Jian smiled slightly: "Tong Changsi can not only read two volumes of books in one breath, but also read them twice in one breath, which is amazing."

Tong Shaoxuan glared at her fiercely - don't you ever stop talking for a moment!

Tang Jian pursed his mouth slightly, avoiding her questioning gaze, and continued to slice the mutton leisurely.

The two were silently killing each other with their eyes, only to hear a "bang", Tong Changting put a large box on the wooden table.

Both Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei came over: "What is this?"

Tong Changting opened the box, and the two of them let out a "huh" at the same time, and were also shocked by the silver cake.

Tong Shaoxuan asked suspiciously: "Aye, what kind of windfall did you make? Are you here to show off your wealth?"

Tong Changting smiled kindly: "Ah Shen asked for this back for our family."

Hearing what Tong Changting said, Tang Jianwei understood: "Shen Wulang spit out all the money? It was pretty fast, I thought he really couldn't get it out for a while. I'm afraid Shen Wulang was not telling the truth at the time, probably more than that." Swallowed more than 300 taels. Hey! I should have shocked him again at that time!"

"Ah Shen, you've done a good enough job." While Song Qiao praised, he came up to cut the mutton with her. Tang Jianwei let out an "ah" and stopped him:

"Aniang, don't touch these cold raw meat, it will hurt your hands in winter."

"How long are you going to keep busy with your own work, so much meat. Besides, your mother and I have thick skin and thick flesh, which can withstand the cold better than you children. Ah Nian, why don't you come to help Ah Shen, just let Ah Shen working alone?"

Tang Jianwei hurriedly said: "Ah Nian has always been willing to help me, but I didn't want her to get involved. She should focus more on her studies."

Tong Shaoxuan wandered around the door of the house, didn't go in, came back again, sat down in front of the pot of meat pieces in silence, and skewered Tang Jianwei's marinated mutton piece by piece with a bamboo stick.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Thank you, madam."

Tong Shaoxuan lowered his head and hummed casually a few times.

How does Song Qiao see how Tang Jianwei likes it: "You have done a good job with Shen Wulang. You and I, Aye, have never thought of making him spend such money. Ever since you came to our Tong's house, we The life of the family is getting better and better day by day, all thanks to your blessing, I thank you on behalf of the whole family."

"Aniang, I promised you before that I, Tang Jianwei, will be the Tong family and Tong Shaoxuan's wife in this life. I will do my best to be good to her and to our whole family. Our family is prosperous. I have a backer, so I don’t need to say thank you.”

Tong Shaoxuan had skewers on his hands, his ears were pricked up, and the words "Tong Shaoxuan's wife" sounded very comfortable.

"Okay, okay!" Song Qiao's eyes were about to stop laughing, "Since you've said that, Shen, I won't be polite to you. I'm here with you, Aye, to give you this box of silver. Take care of it. The new store is about to open, so it must cost a lot, Shen, you can use the money to buy some needed items.”

Song Qiao's move was completely beyond Tang Jianwei's expectations, and Tang Jianwei stopped what he was doing:

"This, A Niang, there are too many, I..."

Song Qiao said "Huh?": "Since you are from my Tong family, then don't see each other again. Except for you, no one in our family has a brain for money. If it weren't for you, neither would you." There will be such a large box of silver back to our house. I don’t think anyone is entitled to own it except you. Logically speaking, I, a mother, should share the burden for you, but unfortunately I don’t understand anything, You can only take care of the new store, which will only make you worry about it. If you have any chores, you can tell me."

Tang Jianwei was polite again, Song Qiao was not to be outdone, the two of them were "talking sweetly" here, and hearing Tong Shaoxuan and Tong Changting's goosebumps almost rose.

Tong Changting couldn't help but said: "I told you two, don't be polite, you two are a family, what's there to push back and forth?" He said to Tang Jianwei, "Your mother told you to hold it, so you can hold it. Isn’t it different to make money back and make delicious food for the family?”

Song Qiao gave him a disgusted look, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so rough? I really don't like talking to you, it's embarrassing."

Tong Changting didn't care: "If you are ashamed, you are ashamed. Anyway, we are a family, and the one who insults me is the one who insults you. It doesn't matter."

"Is it satisfying to embarrass me? Can't you show a positive image in front of your daughter and daughter-in-law?"

"Do I have a positive image to show, don't you know? I was like this when we got married. Didn't you also willingly marry me and spend the rest of your life with me? I think you hate me in your mouth, but you love me in your heart." I love it tight."

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't listen anymore, and together with Song Qiao, he sincerely despised Tong Changting:

"Can you stop talking? I'm almost disgusted by you!"

Tong Changting continued recklessly, recalling how he and Song Qiao fell in love back then, and was very proud, saying that they were not a matchmaker saying that their parents ordered them, but that they were together because they really liked each other.Even after getting married, the family members passed away early, and they did not manage the rest of the business well, and they have suffered.

The year when the second daughter, Shaozhuo, was born was the most difficult year for their family. There was hail in the winter, the roof leaked and there was no money to repair it, so the family could only use cotton clothes to cover it.

When Tong Shaoqian was born, the family's situation was still not very good. Song Qiao and Tong Changting were angry again and never asked others for help. Since they decided to spend a lifetime with each other, they had to support the family with their own hands.

At that time, the three sisters wore their clothes in turn, while Tong Boyi wore Tong Changting's old clothes directly, and the sleeves were often so long that his hands couldn't be stretched out.

As Tong Changting talked, his tone of joking before gradually changed to recalling bitterness and sweetness, and said seriously:

"We've had a hard time, but looking back now it's more about the sweetness of being together as a family. In a blink of an eye, we, Anian, are married. Your mother and I have also become old men and old ladies. It went by so fast."

Tong Changting was very emotional. He still remembered the days when he was with Ye Niang when he was a child. His mother was very kind to him. As long as he wanted, Ye Niang would save money and buy it for him.

But in the blink of an eye, Ye Niang has been away from him for more than 20 years, and he himself has changed from a high-spirited young man to a middle-aged man with graying hair.

There were some thin tears in Tong Changting's eyes, as if he was really moved.

Tang Jianwei was afraid that if he continued talking, the situation would get out of hand, so he quickly comforted him and said:

"But isn't it a happy event for Aye to be married to someone he really likes? Everyone's life is just a few decades, and it flies by in the blink of an eye. If people spend it together, this life is not in vain. Not everyone can have such a wonderful thing."

Tong Shaoxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The meaning of Tang Jianwei's words is that he is envious of Aye being able to stay with the person he likes...

And she can't do it, can she?

Song Qiao also thought about it, his brows were slightly tightened, and he looked worriedly at Yaonu, who was busy with her head down and kept busy.

Tong Shaoxuan felt a pain in her heart, and her chest was churning wildly with soreness, making her unwilling to raise her head, and she didn't want to see Tang Jianwei's face at this time.

So Tang Jianwei asked the daughter of Wu's family in Boling before, did she still...

"Aye." Tang Jianwei added, "We are both the same, very lucky."

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

Song Qiao and Tong Changting are gone, and tonight will also come to an end.

"Go take a bath first." Tong Shaoxuan said to Tang Jianwei, "Wash early and go to bed early."

Tang Jianwei nodded, and the two entered the room together. Tong Shaoxuan was wearing a blue-gray shawl and was pouring tea. Tang Jianwei looked at her back, thought for a while and said:

"I just said that because I didn't want you, Ye Niang, to worry about our affairs."

Tong Shaoxuan turned his head.

Tang Jianwei untied his bun in front of the mirror: "Otherwise, you know, the old man is always worrying about it."

"Yeah." Tong Shaoxuan said with a smile, "I know, the two of us got married by gift, and it's not like Ye Niang's true love to get married, I naturally understand. Go wash it, the water has just been boiled and it's hot, don't go It will be cold for a while."

Tang Jianwei did think about the same thing in his heart, but why did Tong Shaoxuan say it completely changed his taste?

Tang Jianwei carefully put the Cuiyu hairpin into the jewelry box: "Why do I think you have resentment?"

"Is there?" Tong Shaoxuan asked back, "Why do I have resentment?"

"How do I know, I'm not you."

"Since you are not me, why do you say I have resentment? Or do you think that what you said makes me uncomfortable, so you should have resentment?"

Tang Jianwei: "..."

In terms of eloquence, I'm afraid no one can match Tong Siniang.

"Will you wash it? If you don't wash it, I will wash it."

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll annoy you." Tang Jianwei still didn't shy away from taking off his coat in front of her, and untied the skirt behind her back,

"At that time, you, Aye, said the truth there. Neither you nor your mother should be. How embarrassing it would be for me to ignore him? Although we were married by the emperor, we had no relationship foundation before, but these days we help each other day and night. If you hold on, you can be regarded as a friend? If you think there is something wrong with me, you can tell me, and I will change it."

Tong Shaoxuan looked at her narrow back, thinking of the temperature when she always burrowed into her arms without saying a word at night, the fragrance and touch from her soft body, and the word "friend" she said at this time Very harsh.

The flames that were stirred up by her every day began to shoot into Tong Shaoxuan's heart again.

This time, Tong Shaoxuan didn't press it out immediately.

"What do you think you need to improve?"

Tong Shaoxuan walked towards her slowly.

Tang Jianwei stopped combing his hair, and said angrily, "You are the best at making progress."

With the jade comb in her hand, she turned around and was about to stand up to tease Tong Shaoxuan, but found that Tong Shaoxuan had walked behind her at some point.

With a "creak", the sound of the chair grinding against the ground was harsh, Tang Jianwei did not expect Tong Shaoxuan to be so close to him suddenly, and was blocked in front of the bronze mirror by the sullen girl in a trance.

The rouge and gouache on the dressing table behind him crackled, Tong Shaoxuan bent one arm, and pressed his forearm against the wall, blocking Tang Jianwei's face.

Tang Jianwei is very familiar with this move, she seems to have done it not long ago, but this time the positions of the two are reversed.

"Tong..." As soon as Tang Jianwei raised his wrist, Tong Shaoxuan caught him.

The scalding temperature of the palm was quickly transmitted to Tang Jianwei through the skin, and Tang Jianwei's panicked face was reflected in Tong Shaoxuan's eyes.

Tong Shaoxuan's breathing became faster, and he looked directly at her with undisguised oppression and exploration.

Tang Jianwei felt that her body temperature was higher than usual, and the chaotic and hot breath passed the tip of their noses very close to each other.

"You are fine, everything is fine." Tong Shaoxuan's gaze slowly moved down from Tang Jianwei's beautiful eyes, and landed on the tip of the plump and undulating hill under the snow-white neck,

"If you have to improve something, I hope you can understand that everyone will make progress. Especially this desire to make progress is cultivated by yourself."

Tang Jianwei suddenly understood.

What Tong Shaoxuan had in his eyes was not oppression and exploration, but desire, an emotion that was very strange to Tang Jianwei.

Tong Shaoxuan's movement of holding her was not brutal, but he didn't want to let her go easily, he still held her tightly.

As if she did not admit her mistake, Tong Shaoxuan would not withdraw.

"Hmm..." Tang Jianwei lowered his head, avoiding her too direct gaze, and didn't look at Tong Shaoxuan's face. He didn't know what her expression was at the moment, but Tang Jianwei could hear that she was getting more angry.

"I see." Tang Jianwei whispered in Tong Shaoxuan's arms.

"what do you know?"

"I know everything..."

"You've always acted like you've got a chance to win, but you don't really understand."

Tong Shaoxuan still didn't leave, and even got closer. His fingers followed Tang Jian's slender neck, sticking to the hot skin, and penetrated into her hair, controlling her head, making her lift it up.

Tang Jianwei took a deep breath and then held his breath.

She didn't know what Tong Shaoxuan was going to do to her, but the feeling of being manipulated at the moment didn't make her feel dangerous or uncomfortable, but at such a close distance, she was afraid that the people in front of her would find her from the rapid breathing His heartbeat was higher than usual.

"Don't move." Tong Shaoxuan's eyes were dark, "If you move, it will hurt you."

"Um……"

"Does it hurt? Hair."

"Do not."

Tong Shaoxuan gently smoothed Tang Jianwei's black silk with his fingers, and slowly rotated it skillfully at the fingertips. A strand of hair was still pulled, and there was a slight pain for a moment.

This slight pain seemed to be attached to Tang Jianwei's heart, and a small wound was torn in her heart during the pulling, with the pain and heat like sparks turning into a numb feeling, along the gap-like wound toward her Drill hard into my heart.

With her hair tied up behind her head, Tong Shaoxuan stretched out his arms and walked around behind her, making the distance between them even closer.

Tang Jianwei's long eyelashes kept flickering, and Tong Shaoxuan's face was in front of his eyes, wiping the rouge she gave him, his delicate lips parted slightly, almost overlapping Tang Jianwei's lips.

Tang Jianwei's eyes were already blurred, like a small boat slowly sinking in the sea of ​​Tong Shaoxuan's gaze...

Suddenly, the back of her head was refreshed, and her long hair was held in place by something out of place.

Tang Jianwei opened his eyes.

"Okay." Tong Shaoxuan let go of his hand, stood back, tilted his head and looked at Tang Jian with a clever smile,

"My hairpin is just the right size to hold your hair securely. You don't have to worry about your long hair getting wet when you wear her to the shower, and you don't have to worry about your hairpin getting black with water. Hey, that's amazing invention."

Tang Jianwei: "..."

Touching the back of her head, Tong Shaoxuan pulled her hair firmly, and it was firmly held by a clip.

"You, just want to give me this thing?" Tang Jianwei clogged his heart with a mouthful of old blood.

"Huh? Of course, why not?"

The two distanced themselves, and when Tang Jianwei stared at Tong Shaoxuan again, he found that Tong Shaoxuan swept away the lustful expression just now, and returned to the bright smile he was familiar with on weekdays:

"Is the movement of my hair neatly arranged?"

Tang Jianwei: "..."

Feeling so stuffy that he could hardly breathe, Tang Jianwei was silent for a moment, feeling that he could breathe normally again, and then tried his best to control his emotions and said:

"Okay, I get it. You were really annoyed by what I said to you, Aye, so you started playing tricks. I asked for it myself, and I admit it."

Tong Shaoxuan's arms were sticking to his side, the smile was still on his face, but there was already a little stiffness.

"I have to say that you have succeeded in teasing me."

After seeing Wei Chong Tong Shaoxuan showing an exaggerated smile, Tang neatly picked up the bathing things, threw them all into the small basin, picked them up and went out to the bathroom.

Tong Shaoxuan stood alone in the room, feeling a little sour in his heart, but most of all he was reminiscing about the appearance of Tang Jianwei in his arms just now.

In fact, Tong Shaoxuan didn't regret it.

Tang Jianwei is used to being unscrupulous in front of her, and she has long wanted to tell Tang Jianwei that she is also a normal person with blood, and she also has a desire to conquer beautiful things.

She will also have a day when she grows up.

Tang Jianwei was walking in the yard with a small basin, getting faster and faster, and bumped into the red sandalwood at the turn to the bathroom, almost knocking the red sandalwood five meters away.

"Oh, my Sanniang—you are about to take off!" Zitan grabbed the tree in the yard without turning over.

Tang Jianwei was afraid that Zitan could read his mind, so he didn't stay long, turned around and went into the bathroom.

"What's the matter?" Zitan looked at the bathroom, and then at the bedroom without knowing why.

The young couple are having a fight?

Tang Jianwei arrived at the bathroom and locked the door immediately.

After confirming that the door would not be pushed open, the restless heart felt a little calm.

"If you move, it will hurt you."

Tong Shaoxuan's words automatically surfaced in her mind.

"What the hell..." Tang Jianwei covered his head, why did he pick this sentence up!

Can you stop thinking about it? !

Tang Jianwei immediately took a shower, trying to extinguish the fire that Tong Shaoxuan had planted for her.

When the hot water was sprinkled on her body, she couldn't help thinking about it.

Among all the messy memories and fantasies, Tang Jianwei confirmed one thing——

Tong Shaoxuan seemed to be really taller than her.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan: Although Meng 1 is late, it will arrive!You always have to pay back after flirting for a long time, today is the beginning of Batang Jianwei's flag!
