Tang Junyao watched He Shaoting drink the hangover soup, and inadvertently raised her eyes, she met Tang Huaizhou's expression of hating iron and steel, she felt a little guilty, and then quickly turned her face away, pretending not to see it.
Tang Huaimian, who had been singing for a while, lay on the stone table and slept soundly, completely unaware of the anger of his cousin beside him.
"Baoya, it's time for you to go back to the house. There are servants here to serve you, so why do you need to wait here?" Tang Huaizhou glared at her and squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.
Tang Junyao didn't dare to provoke Mr. Tang too much. She scratched her face and showed him a somewhat pleasing smile. Then she reluctantly said goodbye to He Shaoting and returned to herself after a while. house.
That night, after taking a bath and grooming, she sat on the bed, rummaging through the boxes to find a box that was several years old, first wiped it with a handkerchief, and then carefully opened the lid.
Lan Chun, who was beside him, poked his head over to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed "Yah".
"Girl, what's wrong with this thing?"
Inside was a broken, but still recognizable ceramic doll.
"It was smashed." Tang Junyao replied.
This was the first gift that Brother Ting gave her, but unfortunately she was smashed by that bad boy in the big room, Brother Xing, for which she was so angry that she whipped Brother Xing, and was punished by the old man to stand. It also led to her first illness after returning to this life.
Before you know it, so many years have passed!
She took out the plum blossom hairpin that He Shaoting had sent back before the wedding ceremony, and pursed her lips. It was only now that she realized that Brother Ting had only given her two gifts.
One as a child and one as an adult.
"Miss, put it away! It would be bad if the fragments cut your hand." Seeing that she seemed to want to reach out and touch the broken doll, Lan Chun was startled and hurriedly discouraged it.
Tang Junyao smiled and let her put the box containing the ceramic dolls back in place, before laying back on the large bed.
As long as she thought that he would officially come to ask for a kiss tomorrow, she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and somehow she thought of the scenes of the two of them getting along when she was a child, and the smile on her face could not be concealed.
"Brother Ting, General Xiao He, Shao Ting, husband... Oh, so shy!" She covered her face, turned over and buried her face in the quilt, hiding the bright smile on her red face.
She was just thinking about it like this, and before she knew it, her eyelids got heavier and heavier.
In fact, He Shaoting was not drunk, and his mind was very clear, but because he drank, Ruan Shi was worried and insisted that he was not allowed to ride a horse, and went back in the soft sedan chair of Tang Mansion.
Naturally, He Shaoting would not take her kindness away.
But on the way back to the mansion, he felt as if he was floating on the clouds, and from time to time the delicate face that was as beautiful as a peach and plum flashed in front of him.
As long as he thought that from tomorrow, he would be able to announce loudly to the world that the most beautiful girl in the world was his never-before-seen wife, his heart couldn't contain a surge of excitement.
After the early morning the next day, He Shaoting hurriedly went back to ask the Iceman to propose marriage, but he was stopped by Emperor Tianxi.
"I vaguely remember that Shao Ting is twenty-two this year, right?" Emperor Tianxi's face was a bit morbidly pale, but he was in good spirits and asked with a smile.
He Shaoting was stunned for a moment, and felt a little moved in his heart.
His Majesty is in a hurry, but he still remembers his age.
"Yes, I just turned twenty-two not long ago." He replied in a deep voice.
Emperor Tianxi lightly stroked his short beard, looked at the young love general with a gratified face, and said with a smile, "A man should start a family and start a business.
"I don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, the minister and the minister will go back and plan to ask the Iceman to propose a marriage." He Shaotingjun blushed slightly, and said a little embarrassedly.
Emperor Tianxi was stunned and asked in surprise, "Which girl is this Shao Ting from?"
"Tang, from the Tang family..." He Shaotingjun blushed a bit, but still answered honestly.
Emperor Tianxi was completely stunned for a while, and only for a while he felt that this was not a big surprise. After all, she looked like that girl from the Tang family, and I was afraid that I couldn't pick a few in the entire capital. Didn't the queen also pick her back then? what.
Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "Shao Ting really has a good eye. That daughter of Songnian, I can be regarded as watching her grow up. She is indeed a good girl, worthy of Shao Ting."
"She is very good." He Shaoting said earnestly.
Emperor Tianxi did not miss the rare tenderness in his eyes, and smiled with his beard: "Since it is a match made in heaven, a man is a talented woman and a woman, I will give you a marriage from the moment of decree and make a beautiful marriage."
He Shaoting had a prayer on his face: "I have a request. After I formally propose a marriage to Master Tang and get the permission of Master Tang, will your Majesty issue a marriage decree?"
Emperor Tianxi understood his intention after a little thought, but he didn't want the Tang family to feel that the marriage was forced.
To be able to think so thoroughly, it seems that she really has a crush on the Tang family girl.
He smiled and nodded: "Since it is the icing on the cake, I will not allow it."
He Shaoting was instantly overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
It was rare for Emperor Tianxi to see him so happy, and he found it interesting. He asked with a smile, "Did you stare at other people's girls early in the morning? Every time you talk about finding that Tang Huaizhou, it's actually because you want to see other people's girls, right?"
He Shaoting blushed because of his jokes, um, ah, and quickly found a reason to retire.
Seeing his figure fleeing, Emperor Tianxi couldn't help laughing.
There is a bit of nostalgia and a bit of melancholy in the laughter.
This kind of drunkard's intention is not about wine, I think he did it back then. Unexpectedly, it has been decades in the blink of an eye, and that person is no longer there.
After He Shaoting left the palace gate, he couldn't wait to go back to the mansion to prepare for the marriage proposal. He jumped on the horse and rode back to the mansion.
In less than half an hour, he turned a street and was his general's mansion. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the front. He was a little surprised, so he got off his horse and grabbed the reins to see what happened.
After all, most of the people living in this street are court officials, and ordinary people would never dare to make trouble here.
"The old man has long wanted to beat you, a beast that has been chaotic and abandoned! Back then, since the mother and child were driven away, don't pester the child anymore. Bah, shameless beast, just looking at the child. In the future, this is how I tried to recognize people back, his mother's flesh and blood! You're embarrassed to say, the old man is so embarrassed for you!"
The owner of the voice was full of anger, and the scolding came clearly into his ears, causing him to stop unknowingly.
"You, you, you old man, what does Du Mou's family affairs have to do with you?!" Immediately after, Du Chengzhong cried out in anger.
"Bah! The old man is afraid of smearing his ears when he hears the little things in your house! General Xiao He, surnamed He, is the grandson of the old man's old friend. Although the Chu family has no one, the descendants of the Chu family can't be bullied like this! This old man will teach you a beast for the old friend today, so that you know that the Chu family is not so easy to bully!"
He Shaoting already knew the identities of these two people, one was the old general Lu who fought against him in Dongdi, and the other was his biological father, Du Chengzhong.
He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He heard the sound of fighting not far away. He knew that the two had already started to fight. He was worried about the old wound on General Lu's hand. go away.
He hurriedly walked out a distance, and saw the figure of old General Na Lu and Du Chengzhong fighting together in front of his general's mansion.
Although the old general Lu was old and had wounds on his hands, he was highly skilled in martial arts and experienced in dealing with the enemy. Compared with Du Chengzhong, who had been addicted to alcohol for the past few years, he obviously had the upper hand.
But after dozens of rounds, Du Chengzhong had been forced by him to the point where he could only parry, and was powerless to fight back.
The old general Na Lu suddenly sold a flaw, taking advantage of Du Chengzhong's opportunity to shout violently, and suddenly hit him with a heavy punch.
Du Chengzhong couldn't dodge in time, and he saw that he was about to punch in the chest. It was too late when he said it. Suddenly, a figure like lightning flew over and blocked between him and General Lu. With a light blow, the heavy punch was actually dissipated. strength.
Du Chengzhong, who had escaped from the dead, broke out in a cold sweat.
"How can the old general be so reckless? Do you know that if this punch is thrown, your arm will be completely abolished." He Shaoting grabbed the old general Lu's right wrist and stopped him, his face full of dismay. Agree authentic.
Lu Cunyi was still angry, but looking at He Shaoting's face that looked like an old friend, his anger was extinguished a little, and when he heard his words were full of concern for himself, the remaining anger disappeared completely. Yes, hehe smiled and said, "It's the old man who lacked consideration."
After Dongdi surrendered, he bowed his head to Daqi and became a minister. Dongdi joined Daqi's territory. Emperor Tianxi did not pursue other members of the royal family except after ordering the execution of the Queen Dowager Dongdi who had colluded with the Xun family of the previous dynasty.
On the same day, He Shaoting brought back the son of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, that is, the head of the nephew who Fang Yi supported wholeheartedly, and all the members of the Xun clan were executed.
And that head, after being read by Emperor Chengtianxi, was transferred from Tang Songnian to Fang Yi, who was still in prison.
He Shaoting heard that Na Fangyi was about to go crazy after receiving her nephew's head, but Tang Songnian was given medicine to her early in the morning, and she didn't have the slightest strength on her body.
"Shao Ting, this old man has a vicious heart, so..." Du Cheng was extremely loyal, but he swallowed the unfinished words when he saw the coldness in He Shaoting's eyes.
He Shaoting opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Cunyi.
"Du Chengzhong, back then, in order to please the new couple, you didn't care about the love of flesh and blood, forcibly poured abortion pills on the concubine who was pregnant with you, and beat the flesh and blood from the mother's womb, so cruel and unkind, the sky has eyes, teach you Du Shi If the incense is broken in your hands, it can be said that the law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is unhappy!"
Lu Cunyi's voice was like a bell, and his words were sonorous and powerful, which also made the pedestrians and many officials who heard the news heard the news clearly.
For a time, everyone was in an uproar, and all looked at Du Chengzhong, whose face suddenly turned pale.
"You don't even spare your own flesh and blood, you're simply not as good as a beast!"
"I thought that it was too much for General He to not recognize his biological father after he rose to prominence, but I didn't expect that there would be such a story in the past. It was also General He who was kind-hearted and filial. Call him unfilial."
"No wonder General Na Lu called him a beast, but he still has the face to want General He to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan?"
…
The pointing, the contemptuous eyes, and the remarks of the people around him made Du Chengzhong's face turn blue and white.
For so many years, he has never thought about the things he did at the beginning, and even He Shaoting, who knew about it, never mentioned it again. There were only rumors that he had expelled his concubine back then, and no one knew that he had given pregnant women. Concubine Ji gave abortion pills, and he felt at ease.
But at this moment, the fig leaf was torn in public mercilessly. He was extremely embarrassed, his lips moved, and he wanted to deny loudly, but facing He Shaoting's half-smiling expression, he couldn't say a word of denial, he could only turn around Step away, leave this place where he has been embarrassed.
"Anyway, he is your biological father, and some things are hard to say as you are. It's just that Du Chengzhong's continued entanglement will always be bad for you. This old man is just acting in his place. General Xiao He won't blame him, right? ?" After entering the General's Mansion and taking his seat, Lu Cunyi asked a little nervously.
He Shaoting shook his head, but he didn't want to be entangled in this matter. After all, today was a good day for him to formally propose marriage, so he shouldn't be disturbed by chores.
Lu Cunyi observed his words, and saw that he really didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that there were boxes with red cloth tied in the room, and when he asked about his plan, he immediately smiled.
"Logically, I'm old friends with your grandfather, and I'm considered your elder. This time, it's okay for the elder to come to the house for you to ask for relatives, right?"
