The rules of survival of the magic stick

After listening to the old lady, she snorted, and then seemed to automatically erase the second part of Tang Su's words, and only heard the four words "big family".

She sneered: "A rich family? When our Lu family was rich and wealthy in Huxi Town, he didn't know where he did his laundry!"

Tang Su saw that it seemed impossible to directly ask her about Miss Zhao's affairs. She thought that no one had visited this old lady for so many years, and no one had come to chat with her, so she must have a lot of things to say in her heart. They said, but they really wanted to say it, anyway, they were not in a hurry, so they just chatted with the old woman at this place, and then slowly asked her about Miss Zhao Fu.

What's more, he saw a series of behaviors of the close servant of Zhao's mansion and the servant who revealed the news to them before, and he felt that if the old woman really lived in the house on the west many years ago, then she and Zhao There must be some unknown festival at home, and it may have a lot to do with going to their house to destroy the family, so he decided to start here.

Tang Su asked: "The Lu family? Who are you?" Tang Su intentionally threw out this kind of interrogative sentence. Generally speaking, this kind of interrogative sentence is the best question sentence to open up other people's chatterbox.

Sure enough, after the old woman heard Tang Su's question, the expression on her face changed for a moment, and there was a gleam of brightness in her eyes. Although it was only fleeting, Tang Su caught it very accurately.

"Don't look at me as an old lady who has nothing now. Have you seen the teacup in your hands?" The old lady raised the teacup in her hand, and then put it in front of Tang Su and Gong Yifu. .

Tang Su noticed it when she took out the teacup, so he nodded and said: "This tea set is a good tea set, and it should belong to the top grade..."

Hearing what Tang Su said, a rare smile appeared on the corner of the old woman's mouth, Tang Su was stunned.

The old woman grinned, and then said: "You are quite a smart kid, you must be a son of a certain family?"

Tang Su showed a wry smile: "Oh, it used to be, but now, it's no longer..."

The old lady showed a sympathetic expression, and looked at Tang Su with a little more kindness in her eyes, and she said: "It seems that we are all the same person! It's okay, look at me, old lady, I have been alone for so many years coming."

Tang Su really felt that this old lady was quite optimistic.

The old woman went on to say: "This set of tea sets belonged to my former home. That day, the only thing I could bring out was this set of tea sets."

Gongyifu held the teacup and was drinking the tea made by the old woman very attentively, and had no desire to ask the old woman any questions, but just looked at the old woman calmly, waiting for her next words.

In Tang Su's heart, he was anxious to ask what happened to the old lady, but seeing Gongyifu so calm while he was so impatient, it was really out of style, so he secretly suppressed his restless heart Come down and wait for the old lady to tell the story by herself.

The old lady was really old, and her movements were not as fast as the young man's. She just slowly passed the teacup in her hand to her mouth, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then cleared her throat, and said: " Back then, our Lu family was the largest cloth dyeing workshop in Huxi Town, but the head of the Zhao family is just a low-level cloth dyeing worker in our cloth dyeing workshop. It doesn't matter, but I didn't expect that this Zhao Xian was so scheming, he actually took the courage of the bear's heart and leopard, and fell in love with our family's cloth dyeing workshop!"

The old lady was still a little emotional when she said this. It seems that this incident really made her remember deeply. She continued: "At that time, our Lu family had three children, and the elder brother was in charge of half of our Lu family's business. , and the second sister is a girl who has not yet left the court, and I was still young at the time."

"This Zhao Xian, he actually went to seduce our second sister! Our second sister was still a girl who hadn't come out of the court at the time. She didn't understand anything. She was deceived by this man's novelty. My elder brother tried his best to stop her, but no one can stop a girl who has been completely bewitched by love."

Hearing this, Tang Su almost thought that this was a story of bloody love and power seizure, but he didn't expect what the old woman said later, it was really beyond his expectation.

"The one surnamed Zhao, he eloped with my second sister and left the Lu family. My father was so angry that he was bedridden. Something is not quite right, my elder brother and I were worried about my father's health, so we wanted to find my second sister back, but I didn't expect that they had already cooked rice. At that time, my second sister was already pregnant. He's pregnant, and my eldest brother and I were so angry when we saw how corrupt the family was, we could only tell her about my father, and when she knew about it, she insisted on going back to visit her father overnight."

The old woman stopped for a moment, her eyes stared blankly at the cup in her hand, she let out a heavy sigh of relief, and then closed her eyes.

Tang Su still wanted to ask her about what happened later, but Gong Yifu waved his hand at him, Tang Su still kept his mouth shut, and could only wait for the old woman to regain her composure.

After a while, the old woman continued: "I didn't expect that this person surnamed Zhao had his conscience eaten by a dog. After he cheated my second sister away, he was still not reconciled. He also wanted to get the formula for our family's dyed cloth. I When the second sister rushed back to visit my father overnight, he actually sneaked away and stole the formula from our family."

Tang Su was a little puzzled: "How would he know where the recipe for dyeing cloth in your family is kept? Isn't this kind of thing kept in a very secret place?"

The old lady showed a regretful expression on her face: "He didn't know, but my second sister knew! After my second sister followed him, she told him many things about the family, and later he went to steal the formula and spare it for the family. It was discovered by a servant of the family, and a dispute arose, and he knocked over the candle in order to get the formula, which caused a fire in our house, which was reduced to ashes overnight, while he himself held the candle. Our family's formula, started from scratch, has become the new owner of the cloth dyeing workshop in Huxi Town."
