Yangcheng

Shi Ruzhuo's move was very rough, no one present could react, and Lu Lan's heart was bleeding.

The bright red blood soon covered half of Lu Lanxin's face. Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang held each other's hands, almost out of breath.

This is the only daughter of Lu Jian, a senior official of the fourth rank, and she is also an important minister in the court. Shi Ruzhuo actually smashed her as soon as she wanted to, and even smashed the other party's head!

In this way, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble!

Lu Lanxin raised her hand to touch her face, and felt a warm and sticky thing, spread it out in front of her eyes, and as she expected, it was bright red blood.

Lu Lanxin didn't panic when she saw her own blood, but instead smiled strangely, looking at Shi Ruzhuo:

"This little sister is very skilled. What's your name?"

Hearing her question, Tong Shaoxuan immediately stood in front of Shi Ruzhuo:

"This matter happened because of me, it's about me and Lu Jiancheng, it has nothing to do with her."

Last time, he was beaten twenty times just because he frightened the county magistrate. Now that he saw this important minister in Beijing was beaten to the head, Tong Shaoxuan understood that the matter might be more serious. It's okay.

Shi Ruzhuo's actions were indeed impulsive, but it was also because he saw Lu Lan's evil intentions and wanted to protect her. How could Tong Shaoxuan let Lu Lan's heart target Shi Ruzhuo?

This matter is no small matter, it is impossible for Tong Shaoxuan to remain calm, but it is also impossible for her to evade responsibility.

No matter how Lu Lan wanted to deal with it, Tong Shaoxuan made up his mind to carry it alone, so that her classmates and family members would not be implicated.

"Oh? I avoided it before, but now I'm eager to build a relationship with me. It's about the two of us. These words are really sweet."

The blood flowed into the eyes, and Lu Lanxin wiped the blood away with the handkerchief he carried with him. Looking back, he found that her mother hadn't come back, so she relaxed, and patiently and tastefully teased the group of country girls.

Lu Lanxin gazed through Tong Shaoxuan's shoulder, looked behind her, and said to Shi Ruzhuo:

"What's the matter, wasn't it very powerful when you hit me just now? Why are you hiding behind others now? What's your name? Tell me your name and let me hear that you dared to hit me on the head for the first time in your life." Who is the name of the person. I may consider keeping your whole body."

"Lv Jiancheng!" Tong Shaoxuan raised his voice, "As far as I know, there is nothing in the laws of the Great Cang that states that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can decide the life and death of the people in private, and even if they offend the officials, they have to settle the case before they can be convicted. Isn't Lu Jiancheng afraid of being prosecuted for intimidation for uttering such vicious words?"

Unexpectedly, this younger sister of the Tong family, whose face turned pale, dared to plead guilty to her, quite courageous.

However, Lu Lanxin was more interested in the person who did not put down the blood-stained stone all the way behind her, and had anger hidden in his eyes, as if he might come up to give her a note at any time.

Shi Ruzhuo met her eyes and said: "My surname is Shi, and my first name is Ru Zhuo. One person does things and one person is responsible. I smashed your head and you came at me. For a frivolous and shameless person like you, I will smash one What is there to be afraid of even if you are doing harm to the people? If you end up decapitated because of protecting the people for the people and upholding justice, it can only show that the Great Cang Code is like bullshit."

Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang were even more terrified when they heard this. This Shi Ruzhuo is really too fierce. He deserves to be the daughter of the sixth sister-in-law. He not only smashed the capital officials, but also dared to comment on the Great Cang Code in public...

Fortunately, there are only a few of them here, if this news gets out, Shi Ruzhuo's head may really have to move.

Lu Lan listened happily to what she said, and suddenly asked a question that no one thought of:

"Your name is Shi Ruzhuo, what's the small print?"

"..."

Shi Ruzhuo, who was aggressive and never backed down just now, fell silent.

When the sword is on the verge of breaking out, suddenly asking someone a small private word... What kind of behavior is this?

Sure enough, he is a brazen rascal.

Shi Ruzhuo said coldly: "Why should I tell you?"

Lu Lan squinted her eyes and smiled: "If you don't say it now, when I force you to say it in the future, don't cry."

Shi Ruzhuo: "..."

Hearing Lu Jian's voice not far away, Lu Lan glanced in the direction of the voice and said, "Ru Zhuo, you are really lucky today, and you can be safe even if I lose my appearance. But I will pay for this account sooner or later." Get it back, don't let your guard down."

In the end, Lu Lan left a sentence in his heart that made their hair stand on end:

"Let's see you in Su County in a few days."

……

Worrying and terrified for several days, Lu Lanxin didn't come to make trouble again, and no one in the whole academy, whether it was classmates or gentlemen, mentioned this matter, as if no one knew about it except them.

However, there was a terrible wound on Lu Lan's heart, which was discussed by others.

"This Lu Jiancheng is so beautiful, but he got a wound on his forehead. I'm afraid it will leave a scar in the future."

"It's such a pity... I don't know why I got hurt. It looks like the wound is fresh, and it should have been hurt recently."

"After suffering such a serious injury, she still insisted on sharing with us the exams and anecdotes about the imperial court. She is gentle, approachable, young and promising. How can there be such a strange woman in the world."

"What's the matter with you, you're so full of spring."

"Oh, what are you talking about! You are just so excited!"

"It is said that Lu Jiancheng is not married yet. Seeing that she spends all day with girls, she may also like girls. You may really have a chance."

"Don't talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

……

Tong Shaoxuan and the others heard the comments of their classmates, and they didn't know whether it was Lu Lan who was too good at disguising, or the classmates were too simple to be bewitched by such a beast in clothes.

Lu Lan didn't want to trouble them, and even brought some good wine and meat over, calling for Shi Ruzhuo.

Shi Ruzhuo confiscated them and sent them all back.

After being rejected, Lu Lanxin never came to make trouble again. When the academy held a poetry competition at the foot of Yunyao Mountain one night, Lu Lanxin insisted on sitting next to Shi Ruzhuo. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Taku offered a glass of wine.

"I don't drink." Shi Ruzhuo didn't appreciate it.

Lu Lan didn't speak any more, and drank the glass of wine by herself.

She seems to have forgotten that she once said harsh words, and she chatted happily among a group of female students, reciting poems and composing, and throwing out a few excellent lines from time to time, which attracted a lot of applause.

Except for Tong Shaoxuan and the four of them, the faces of the four of them were clouded, and everyone else in the academy was bustling with joy.

Lv Lanxin's abnormal behavior is puzzling, but the fact that she threatened to go to Su County floats in Tong Shaoxuan's mind like a dark cloud.

A few days later, when the academy and the group were about to leave for Su County, Shi Ruzhuo came over and said to Tong Shaoxuan and the others:

"Don't worry about Lu Lan's heart anymore, it has been resolved."

"What? Solved? How did you solve it?" Ge Xunqing was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Shi Ruzhuo, observing her up and down, "Are you okay? That beast didn't do anything to you, did it?"

Seeing that Tong Shaoxuan was also looking at him with concern, Shi Ruzhuo smiled and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that I had a serious talk with her, and I also sincerely apologized to her, and I am willing to compensate her for the soup and medicine consultation. She... is not a person who cares about every detail, so she forgives me."

"Is it that simple?" Ge Xunqing didn't quite believe it, "No matter how I look at it, I think she looks like a senior hooligan who compromised so easily?"

Tong Shaoxuan also felt that this matter was quite strange, and said to Shi Ruzhuo seriously:

"I had some problems with this Lu Jiancheng when I was in Boling. You must not take responsibility for yourself. What happened? You must tell me the truth."

Bai Erniang is also persuading her: "A Beijing official like her, I think our county magistrate will have to work hard to curry favor. If you handle this matter alone, I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future. We can be regarded as friends." Well, if you have something to say, if you have more brains to discuss together, you will definitely be able to discuss better countermeasures, and you must not be bored in your heart alone."

Shi Ruzhuo shook his head, put his chin on his knees, and said with a smile:

"It's really all right, just trust me."

Since she insisted on saying this, Tong Shaoxuan and the others could only shut up suspiciously, but Tong Shaoxuan was still not at ease, and told Shi Ruzhuo:

"If you are threatened by Lu Lanxin, you must tell me, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"Oh, it's not as serious as you said. It's just a knock on the head. That Lu Lan seems to like to tease people, and he doesn't really care about it. Don't worry."

Hearing that Shi Ruzhuo had spoken for Lu Lanxin, Ge Xunqing laughed and said:

"Don't look at us, Shi Ruzhuo, who are usually stupid and stupid, but we are very reliable and capable at critical moments."

Bai Erniang glared at her, she really disliked her wooden fish head, and asked Shi Ruzhuo, "Will that Lu Lanxin go to Su County?"

"I won't go." Shi Ruzhuo said, "I paid her the money she asked for, apologized to her, and asked her specifically, and she told me that she couldn't go to Su County. After all, she just came back on vacation. After the holidays, she has to go back to Beijing to work, how can she really go back to Su County with us in this spare time? What she said before was just to scare us."

Hearing that Shi Ruzhuo could speak in such detail and assured him with a pat on his chest, Erniang Bai believed it.

Tong Shaoxuan asked her: "You went to find Lu Lanxin privately?"

"I just bumped into it by accident." Shi Ruzhuo didn't look into Tong Shaoxuan's eyes, but said to Ge Xunqing,

"Yangon, do you have any leftover snacks you brought earlier? I'm so hungry, can you share some with me?"

"If you want to eat delicious food, you have to ask Chang Si for it. There are a lot of delicious food on her side."

Tong Shaoxuan took out the last box of food, and wanted to ask Shi Ruzhuo some more questions, but it was obvious that Shi Ruzhuo kept his mouth shut, and had no intention of explaining to her clearly. I'm afraid if I continue to ask She wouldn't say anything, so she had to let it go for the time being.

Another day passed, and it was finally time to really set off home. Tong Shaoxuan had been observing whether Lu Lanxin had plans to go to Suxian County the whole time, but he couldn't find her.

Instead, he met Lu Jian.

Lu Jian took the initiative to give her the address of Lu Mansion in Boling, and repeatedly confessed that he would definitely come to look for her when he arrived in Boling two years later.

"As long as Changsi comes to visit, I'm free anytime."

Lu Jian cared for Tong Shaoxuan from the bottom of his heart, and Tong Shaoxuan was worried about Lu Lan's relapse, so he told Lu Jian everything that happened before.

When Lu Jian heard this, her hands trembled with anger: "I told you where the injury on her head came from. It turned out that she was taught by others for committing crimes! Shame, shame.

"My daughter is indeed spoiled by me and my wife. I am not afraid of Changsi's jokes. My wife and I got the secret method of giving birth from Mr. Changsun. After several years of hard work and hardships, we gave birth My wife loves her in every possible way and has always been reluctant to punish her. This scoundrel relies on the love of her family and likes to make troubles everywhere since she was a child! I didn't expect to think about you... Hey! You can rest assured about this matter. , she likes to scare people the most, she doesn't dare to act recklessly, and it's even more impossible to make trouble indiscriminately in spite of the law. I will teach her a lesson in this matter, and let her come to the door to apologize some other day!"

Tong Shaoxuan hurriedly said: "Aunt Lu is too serious, but I don't need to come to apologize. I'm just worried that my classmate will be manipulated. I only hope that Auntie can persuade Sister Lu not to embarrass my classmate."

"Aunt Lu" is what Lu Jian asked Tong Shaoxuan to call her. Tong Shaoxuan has no other request, but hopes that Lu Lanxin will never appear in Su County for the rest of her life. Forget about visiting to apologize, she doesn't want to see her again Lu Lan heart.

Lu Jian responded immediately, and Tong Shaoxuan was relieved a lot.

On the way back, Tong Shaoxuan kept observing, making sure that there were no suspicious carriages following besides the people from their academy, and he was relieved to go back.

Tong Shaoxuan was about to return home, and Tang Jianwei's plan was basically completed.

After soaking in vinegar for three days, there was still some aftertaste in the shop, and after five days of extravagant smoke with dead wood, the stench was finally completely gone.

The shop is redecorated, all the tables, chairs and stoves are moved in, and the plaque is also delivered, so that "Tong's Food Shop" can be opened on an auspicious day.

At the beginning, she didn't know who to be in charge of the farm. Even the Tong family's own cousin still swallowed the money well. It was impossible for her to keep an eye on the affairs of the farm every day. late.

So if you want to hire someone outside to manage it, you really don't feel at ease, so Tang Jianwei went to talk to Song Qiao.

Song Qiao took over the matter, telling Tang Jianwei not to worry about it, she would take care of it.

At first, Tang Jianwei was curious about who she would entrust to do the work, but then Tong Boyi came to Tang Jianwei and humbly asked her for advice on how to settle accounts.

Previously, Tong Boyi had been handing over the rent collection of the shop in West Market all the year round. In fact, even the elder brother was a bit smart about money in the whole family. After coming to Tang Jianwei to study for a few days, he quickly mastered the accounting method.

Tang Jianwei told him to go ahead and do it: "Actually, those tenants in the farm are honest and proficient in the things in the field. If there is anything you don't understand, brother, just ask them. I just need to ask them. If I have free time, I will go to the farm to have a look.”

Tong Boyi is twenty-four this year, and he had the idea of ​​an examiner before, but unfortunately he took the same path as Tong Changting, and he didn't even pass the college exam, and he didn't go to Boling.

Although Tong Changting still didn't give up on his eldest son's studies, he himself was half-hearted. After so many years, he only messed around in the county, made a lot of friends, and had no serious business to do. Just run errands for the family.

Song Qiao and Tong Changting have long been disgusted with his idleness. Now that they think about the matter of the farm, they still think that the eldest son is the most suitable, so they hand over the matter to him.

Qian reminded Wan to be careful, if he didn't take care of things well, he would move out by himself in the future, and Ye Niang didn't bother to take care of him, let him fend for himself, and find a living job by himself.

Tong Boyi is used to being lazy, but Ye Niang has talked about this, so he has no choice but to cheer up and do things.

Rather than being kicked out of the house, he is still more willing to do his best for the family affairs.

Tong Boyi learned so fast, Tang Jianwei was a little surprised - isn't this very smart?The matter on the farm should have been handed over to the elder brother long ago.

Tong Changting is too obsessed with reading and taking exams. The sound of Lang Lang's reading at home has never stopped every morning. Tang Jianwei has been pulled up to read several times. If she didn't have to prepare for the store, I'm afraid she couldn't escape reading it every day. of.

There is something for everyone, why should everyone follow the same path?

Although Tong Changting was gentle and cheerful on weekdays, he was actually very stubborn in certain things, even Song Qiao couldn't say anything.

Perhaps Song Qiao had already seen that his son was not suitable for studying, but he didn't want to make Tong Changting feel uncomfortable, so he had no intention of going against him.

Now that Tang Jianwei came to her and told her that the farm needed a reliable manager, Song Qiao probably took this opportunity to beat his son and re-sharpen his lazy bones, which could be regarded as finding a job that he could do.

Tang Jianwei went to the farm with Tong Boyi, and it was the most important spring plowing time of the year. In addition to the indispensable food crops, Tang Jianwei also wanted to enclose a piece of land to grow her Sichuan pepper.

You don't need a lot of land to grow Sichuan pepper, a small piece is enough.

And Tang Jianwei has enough stock, so this year is a trial planting. If it is successful, it will be planted next year, and even buy other fields to expand Tongfu's farm.

The most difficult thing is whether the Sichuan pepper can be grown successfully.

Tang Jianwei once tried farming in Boling. In the end, Shujiao was alive, but it was always not spicy enough, and the taste was far from that of authentic Shujiao.

At that time, Tang Jianwei went to ask the farmers for advice. The farmers said that Shujiao could survive in Shu due to the different climate, but Boling could not grow them.

Shu, the place of origin of Sichuan Pepper, has a hot and humid climate, which is somewhat similar to Su County's climate, but Tang Jianwei has no idea whether the soil quality will affect the spiciness of Shu Pepper.

After all, she can still make a living with the knowledge in the field to bluff people, and its practical use is quite limited.

I hope this time it will be successful. If Shujiao can be grown, she will have no worries about her business in Su County in the future.

The latrine has also been remodeled. Although it was expensive and the whole Tongfu was very impressed after the remodeling, Tang Jianwei felt very comfortable after using it, and he still thought it was worth it.

Tang Jianwei couldn't wait for Tong Shaoxuan to come back, it must be very interesting to see her surprised face.

When Tong Shaoxuan left, Tang Jianwei still complained about her, but later the sixth sister-in-law came to help and said that Tong Shaoxuan paid the wages, which was beyond Tang Jianwei's expectations.

It turned out that the little turtle egg man went to the wild outside, but he still remembered to save me energy.

Thinking about it this way, my previous thoughts of teasing her and competing with her seemed a bit naive.

If the sixth sister-in-law hadn't come to help, she might not have been able to fully implement all the plans within ten days.

Although the sixth sister-in-law was not afraid when she first came to see Tang Jianwei, and her work was not easy, it was Tang Jianwei who put on a soft and friendly look to ease the other party's fear.

However, why did Tong Shaoxuan invite Sixth Sister-in-law to help?

Although the coming and going of the two families can be regarded as resolving the past knot, but it is not a familiar relationship after all.

Thinking that Liusao's daughter and Tong Shaoxuan were classmates, Tang Jianwei sensed very sensitively, could it be related to that Shi Ruzhuo?

Tang Jianwei was busy in and out of the house, and when Tong Shaoxuan was not in the mansion, she was basically not seen in the mansion.During the busy intervals, she would also think about what Tong Shaoxuan is doing now. There is probably not enough food in the food box for her alone, so she must have shared it with her classmates.

Assigned to Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang?

Or was it given to Shi Ruzhuo?

Counting with fingers, Tong Shaoxuan will be back tomorrow, Tang Jianwei is still shaking under the bed with the two Mrs. Tang in his arms.

When she comes back, she shouldn't be angry, right?

Can you put me to sleep?

It's too cold, isn't spring here?It's too cold in spring, colder than winter.

Tang Jianwei misses Tong Shaoxuan's embrace, thinking about it and barely falling asleep.

She went out early the next morning, and when Tong Shaoxuan came back, she was not in the mansion.

"Where's Tang Jianwei?" Tong Shaoxuan asked Tong Changting when he placed the Fengxian specialties he bought one by one in the front hall.

"She went out to run errands with your mother."

"She is with Auntie?"

"Purchase items for the grocery store."

"The shop is ready now? It's pretty fast."

"Well, what do you do as a daughter-in-law? You are a down-to-earth person. Ah Nian, what have you gained from this spring trip? Which famous official did you invite to the academy? Tell Aye .”

Tong Shaoxuan's stomach hurts from time to time.

In the morning, it was almost time to reach Su County, and she saw that there was still the last layer of dim sum in the food box, and she didn't want to waste it, fearing that if she didn't eat it, it would spoil, so she swept it all up.

It is estimated that I ate too much, and now my stomach starts to hurt, and I want to relieve it.

She quickly bid farewell to Tong Changting, and went to the lavatory to settle the major issues in life, before chatting too late.

Tong Shaoxuan hurriedly went to the toilet in the east courtyard, but he saw that the toilet in the familiar location was gone, and there was a small building with a blue roof and white walls.

Auspicious beasts dance on the eaves of this small building, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant on the window lattices. It can be seen that these carvings are all made by meticulous handwork, which is very elegant.

The small building appears out of place in the light and barren Tongfu courtyard, just like Tang Jianwei who descended from the Boling sky.

What is this building for?

What about the toilet?

This is really anxious to death!

Tong Shaoxuan felt another colic in his abdomen, just as Uncle Chai was passing by, Tong Shaoxuan grabbed him and asked where the toilet was moved, and what to do to move the toilet properly!

Uncle Chai pointed to the elegant small corridor: "This is the toilet."

Tong Shaoxuan: "???"

What the hell?

Does the toilet look like this? !

Really didn't have time to think about it, Tong Shaoxuan rushed into the small building, just pushed open the door, in addition to the fragrance that rushed to his face, there was also the sound of running water, the walls were all remodeled with bamboo, Tong Shaoxuan Xuan took this step and almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

If it weren't for the Gong bucket in the middle of the room, Tong Shaoxuan would really think that Uncle Chai was teasing her.

Besides, why is Qiuxin here?

"You don't close the door when you go to the toilet." Seeing that the toilet has been occupied, Tong Shaoxuan had no choice but to back out.

Holding a stack of leaves in her hand and neatly placed toilet chips under her feet, Qiu Xin said to her:

"Si Niang, I'm not here to go to the toilet."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Young Madam asked me to serve here."

"...you need someone to wait on you when you go to the latrine? How can you wait on me!"

Could it be possible to stand for others?

Tong Shaoxuan didn't have time to reason with her, her stomach was like a raging sea, since Qiu Xin wasn't using it, she rushed to the barrel and sat down again.

Qiu Xin kept smiling and looked at Tong Shaoxuan.

Tong Shaoxuan glanced at her, and then again.

Her smile curved wider.

God, can't solve it!

"I said... Qiu Xin, you go out... Who can get out of being watched?" Tong Shaoxuan clutched his stomach, tears were about to flow down, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart—how strange is Tang Jianwei? hobby?Are Boling people used to being watched as they go to the toilet? !

Qiu Xin responded and went out. As soon as Qiu Xin left, everything went well.

Tong Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, only now did he realize that the bucket not only has a backrest but also a soft lining, making it very comfortable to sit on.

Moreover, plant ash was spread inside the barrel, so there was no smell at all, and the whole room was still fragrant.

Tong Shaoxuan was most curious about these new gadgets. After looking at them for a while, he found a small shelf on the left hand side where he could reach. There was a roll of books and two clean dates on the shelf.

Tong Shaoxuan took the jujube in his hand and sighed: "Young girls from Boling really know how to enjoy it, and you have to eat snacks when you go to the latrine."

Take a bite, let alone, this date is quite sweet.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: You...I...jujube...

Tong Shaoxuan:?

Tang Jianwei: Forget it, let me tell you in the next chapter.
