Xu Yunyao overheard the conversation between the Tang brothers, and after a little guess, he understood what was going on.
The old man of the Tang Dynasty had three sons, the eldest son Tang Bainian was born to his wife Chen, the second son Tang Zhangnian was born to a concubine, and the third son Tang Songnian was born to the successor Wang. In addition to the three sons, the old man has three daughters, the eldest daughter and the eldest son are siblings, the married husband Yuan Jiaerlang, the second daughter and the third daughter are all descendants, but they all died in the war.
Tang Bainian married Mrs Li, and they have two sons and two daughters; Tang Zhangnian married Mrs Lin, and the two had a son; Tang Songnian married Mrs Ruan, and both sons and daughters were direct descendants.
Based on the observations over the past few days, and the conversation between the Tang brothers who had just heard, Xu Yunyao was sure that the Tang Mansion was not peaceful, especially between the long and third rooms, which were also descended from the same family.
During her lifetime as Concubine Xu Shu, only Tang Songnian, Tang Huaizhou and his son appeared in the Tang clan. As for Tang Bainian and Tang Zhangnian, they were nothing but shrimp and fish, and naturally they couldn't get into her eyes, so she didn't know much.
As for what the "Mr. Shen" was worried about earlier, Xu Yunyao knew that the other party was really worrying too much. Now is the fifth year of Emperor Taizu's reign, and there will be at most half a year before the prince will murder Rui because of his murder. Wang Bucheng was killed by the opponent, and then the Emperor Taizu was located in King Rui. King Rui was the Tianxi Emperor in the future, and the Taizong Emperor in the history books.
But he said that Tang Bainian returned to the house in anger, and when he entered the second door, he saw his aunt Qian Shi scolding his grandson who was crying in his arms.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Brother Yong?" he asked with a frown.
Hearing the voice of Tang Bainian, his nephew, Qian Shi coaxed his grandson in a random manner, and replied, "Nothing, I was clamoring for sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and I told him a few words. Nephew, where are you calling from? ?"
Tang Bainian's face suddenly became more gloomy.
Qian Shi looked at his face, made a guess, and asked tentatively, "Did that happen?"
Tang Bainian's face was a little ugly again, and he said bitterly: "Tang Songnian's wings are hard, how can he put my brother in his eyes!"
Qian sneered: "Let's just say it, it's not good for mother and son. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. When your father was alive, then Wang didn't listen to the wind, otherwise he would have How can you be so partial to Tang Songnian?"
"Earlier, in Ruan's house, I saw with my own eyes that she hid a large box of gold and silver jewelry. She is the daughter of a broken and settled scholar, how can there be so many good things, it must be the Wang family left from your father. Everything is for her!"
"I thought about it, the Wang family must have spent a lot of money to manage her own son over the years, otherwise, how could he be the county magistrate so well!"
Tang Bainian's eyes flashed a bit of ruthlessness: "If you move my things, sooner or later I will let him return the money with interest!"
Qian shi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, those who came in later tried their best to negotiate with the children left behind by Yuan Pei, it's not like you haven't heard of this kind of thing, you must be more careful, lest your parents stay. In the end, the good things are cheaper for others.”
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I know." Tang Bainian replied with a sullen face.
"As for your matter, Tang Songnian can't get through, but your good stepmother can think of something. I'll go for you when I'm free now." Qian's eyes flashed.
"I'm going to bother my aunt like this, and I'll be thankful after this is done!" Tang Bainian was overjoyed.
As long as he raises enough money to honor Lord Wu, he can get rid of this commoner's body. In the future, with Lord Wu and His Royal Highness as supporters, are you afraid that there will be no high-ranking officials
With the promise, the Qian family was naturally very happy, and went out with her grandson quite happily, heading for the Anping county government office.
—
After Xu Yunyao had lunch, he rested for a while amid Ruan's gentle coaxing.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the girls talking.
"The Taoist priest Xuanqing of Chaoyun Temple has retreated, and many pilgrims can't find him if they want to find him."
"I heard that on the day the Taoist priest announced the retreat, some people saw him vomiting blood, and I don't know if he was seriously ill."
"When did this happen?"
"It seems that the old lady came to the temple to make a wish."
…
When she woke up after she had slept enough, Nguyen Nguyen did not let the girls wait for her, and dressed her in small clothes herself. At the end, she opened the treasure box and took out a golden long-life lock, which was treasured and placed on her daughter's neck. superior.
Xu Yunyao sat obediently and let her move.
"Yo, I said people are talking nonsense! It turns out that it's really all right!" A woman's sharp voice suddenly sounded in the house, and Xu Yunyao, who was playing with the longevity lock, was bored and looked up. , and saw a plump woman with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks walking in with a little boy about three years old.
Behind the woman, there is a helpless blue pattern on her face.
"Auntie is here? Please take a seat, Bi Wen, and bring some tea." Ruan Shi got up to greet him.
Qian Shi put the grandson Yong in his arms beside Xu Yunyao, saw the longevity lock hanging on the little girl's neck with sharp eyes, and said sourly: "In the end, it is the daughter of the official family, and you can put it like this casually. A large piece of gold hangs around his neck."
Nguyen knew her temper, just smiled and didn't say much. On the contrary, Xu Yunyao sneered in her heart. After entering the door, the old woman glanced around restlessly with her eyes, and at a glance, she knew that she was greedy.
"I want this, and this one!" As soon as Brother Yong sat on the couch, he stretched out his hand to pick up the treasure box that Ruan's family would not be able to put away in the future, and immediately put a transparent and moist jade lion inside. Holding it in his hand, he pushed down the treasure box with a 'hula' and grabbed a big dongzhu that rolled out.
"This is our wife's..." Bi Wen became anxious when she saw it.
"Oh, your wife has a lot of these things. If the child likes it, you can give it." Qian's eyes rolled, and he was busy interrupting Bi Wen's words.
Ruan Shi smiled stiffly. Although he was distressed, he couldn't say anything.
Xu Yunyao frowned and looked at this scene, seeing that little fat dunyong staring at his longevity lock and shouting, "I want hers too, she's bigger than mine!"
While shouting, he reached out to grab it.
Xu Yunyao was immediately furious, and slapped the paw unceremoniously with a forceful slap, and pushed it again, taking advantage of the chance that Xiao Pangdun fell on the bed, he quickly picked up the jade lion and Dongzhu neatly tucked it into the treasure box, and then hugged her tightly, glaring at the little chubby who was pushed and burst into tears.
If you don't know what's dead or alive, you dare to grab the things in this palace? !
"I said what's the matter with your child? It's just a few small things. It's nothing to give to your cousin." Seeing that the baby grandson suffered a loss, Qian was anxious, and hurriedly picked up the grandson, unhappy The ground shouted at Xu Yunyao.
Ruan Shi stood by embarrassedly, seeing that Brother Yong was crying so much, after thinking about it, he pulled off the jade pendant tied around his waist and handed it to him: "Brother Yong, please stop crying, this..."
Unexpectedly, before the jade pendant was handed to Brother Yong, it was snatched away by a small fleshy hand stretched out in the sky.
Looking at the daughter who snatched the jade pendant and quickly crawled back to hold the treasure box, Ruan Shi couldn't help but have a headache, and patiently coaxed her softly: "Bao Ya, be obedient, return the things to mother."
Xu Yunyao yelled at her twice.
Do not give!
"What are you crying for? Something with shallow eyelids, I haven't seen anything before!" Seeing that the duck that was about to arrive was flying again, Qian Shi was so annoyed that he slapped his grandson's ass. Suddenly, Brother Yong's cry became even louder. rang.
"Brother Yong, this sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious, do you want to try it?" Cuiwen came in with a plate of cakes in his hand, and bowed slightly to coax the little fat dun Yong, who was crying with tears and snot.
Brother Yong was attracted by the attractive sweet scent, his crying stopped, and he stretched out his hand to get it, but he was squeezed on his butt by Qian's force: "Eat, eat, eat, come to ask for it. Eat, you are a beggar!"
While scolding, he glared at Cui Wen, and snorted at Ruan Shi: "We come from the countryside, it's really annoying, and we don't dare to disturb you nobles!"
After he finished speaking, he gave Xu Yunyao another hatred, and forcibly hugged Brother Yong who was crying and left.
Ruan's smile was about to stop, for a long time, she sighed helplessly, looked at her daughter who was still holding the treasure box tightly, reached out and pinched the little girl's face lightly: "Little bad girl, why? so domineering?"
Xu Yunyao was not happy anymore, so she babbled a lesson to her.
What's the matter with you woman? People are robbing things and they have come to the house. Not only are you not protecting them, but you are also blaming the palace for being domineering? ! You need to know that this kind of insatiable greedy person, as long as you give in half a step, she will climb on your head step by step to make a fortune!
Ben Gong does one good deed every day, not only do you not know how to repay your kindness, but you blame Ben Gong instead? ! The old man is ruthless and full of intrigues and tricks, to marry a soft bun lady like you who can be rounded and flattened? !
"I think the girl did the right thing! That's how it should be, lest the old lady treat our house as her purse and come here to scavenge things every now and then." Bi Wen interrupted suddenly.
Xu Yunyao gave her a look of approval.
Ruan shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. It's just a family of relatives. If you care too much, it will hurt the relationship between the relatives, and it will be difficult for the master to do it. It's better to hide things in the future!"
"What kind of relatives, obviously they are relatives from the eldest master's side, what do they have to do with us. Besides, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days in this world." Bi Wen muttered.
Xu Yunyao was suddenly stunned, and then she hated the iron and rushed to Nguyen for another babbling lesson.
You woman, let this palace say what you want! It's not a serious relative, what does it mean to say whether it hurts the relative's affection or not? Also, how do you put the things in your own house as you want, but you have to worry about others
Ruan Shi naturally didn't understand her words, but seeing her blushing little face babbling endlessly, she was amused and pinched her fleshy cheek lovingly.
"Madam, don't worry, I saw that the old lady went to the old lady's courtyard and went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. How could she 'say goodbye' so easily!" Cuiwen couldn't hide his sarcasm.
