However, he said that Changshun returned after delivering the things. Tang Junyao learned from him that after He Shaoting returned from his errands, he had been pouring and drinking in the house and no one could see him. Seeing the strange look on his face before, I secretly guessed in my heart, but no matter how I thought about it, I never thought that He Shaoting and Du Chengzhong still had a blood relationship.
Seeing that it was almost time, she planned to go to the Ruan family's house. As soon as she passed the garden, she met Tang Huaimian, who was humming a little song.
"The third sister is back?" Tang Huaimian asked in a good mood.
Tang Junyao couldn't help laughing when he saw him: "Don't talk about the layman, but what new words did you think of?"
Tang Huaimian's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture at her, looked around again, and was sure that no one heard her, so he lowered his voice: "Third sister, we agreed not to let others. I know. If my parents knew that I actually learned to write scriptures, they would definitely scold me for not doing my job properly."
Seeing his sneaky appearance, Tang Junyao held back a smile and said, "Well, I won't tell you, but if you publish a new book, you must send me a copy as soon as possible."
"Of course, the third sister is my loyal reader, so she must be treated well." Tang Huai replied smugly.
The third younger sister of his family has good taste, not like the vulgar ones who don't know how to appreciate it, let alone tell the difference between good and bad, and even dare to say that what he wrote is not in line with common sense, and that three-year-old children can write well. better than him.
Shit! It's clear that he can't poop out of his butt, but he blames the ground for being too hard!
Tang Junyao couldn't help laughing when he saw how proud he was that he almost wagged his tail to the sky.
Naturally, she didn't tell him that his true loyal reader was not himself, but the fifth princess of the dynasty.
Every time I see the fifth princess holding the works of the free talker, I enjoy it with relish, and in the words, he is regarded as a rare talent who is eclectic and uninhibited, and then I think of the funny appearance of my third brother being chased by the second aunt, and I can hardly bear it. Stop laughing out loud.
Tang Huaimian boasted to his "loyal readers" for a long time, and finally said: "By the way, the dividend we invested last time has already been sent, and I will have someone send it to you in a while, Brother Zhou. I have already given it to him."
"Okay, how much did you earn this time?" Tang Junyao asked casually.
Tang Huaimian smiled and said triumphantly: "Of course! When have I ever seen your third brother? This time I made 20% more than the last time."
"I knew that the third brother was the most powerful. It's definitely right to follow the third brother!" Tang Junyao praised him with a smile.
Tang Huaimian became even more complacent after hearing this. He patted his chest and said proudly, "Wait, the third brother will earn you ten miles of red makeup and come back, so that the big girls and daughters-in-law all over the capital will envy you!"
"So thank you third brother!" Tang Junyao replied generously.
Tang Huaimian laughed. The third sister is the best at this point. She is never fickle, and she is always clear about what she wants to say.
It was only after getting in touch with Tang Huai that Tang Junyao realized that this kid actually had a money-making ability that was not inferior to his father's.
There are often many caravans in Beijing, and they will buy some local specialties and bring them back to Beijing to sell to earn the difference. Tang Huaimian saw the business opportunities and got to know many caravans. Brothers and sisters Tang Huaizhou and Tang Junyao put together some money to join, and earned a lot of dividends.
This business is not profitable for every business. Sometimes it takes a lot of hard work to transport the goods back, but due to various reasons, it may not only earn half of the money, but even lose the capital. .
But Tang Huaimian has such a pair of discerning eyes, if he likes, nine out of ten will be able to make a lot of money, and the two Tang Huaizhou brothers and sisters who invest with him also make a lot of money for themselves.
This is also an unexpected joy for Tang Junyao. After all, it is easier to do anything with money.
The two were talking and laughing when they saw Tang Huaixing and Tang Huaiyao in the big room walking towards them.
"Big brother, second brother." Tang Huaimian took the initiative to greet him, and Tang Junyao followed suit.
Tang Huaiyao glanced at her quickly and called softly, "Third brother, third sister."
On the contrary, Tang Huaixing glanced at them gloomily, and then walked past them without looking at them.
"It's always like someone owes him money and doesn't pay it back. I hate it!" Tang Huaimian complained when the pair of brothers in the big room had gone far, and then lowered his voice after a while, "It's strange that , Recently he didn't even read the book, and he didn't know what to do when he was away from home all day, as if he heard that he met some noble person?"
After failing in the first class, Tang Huaixing saw that everyone felt that the other party was making fun of him, and his temper became more and more uncertain. Especially the family that Li was originally in his favor with, after learning that he was not listed, he quickly agreed to another family's marriage, and married his daughter a month ago.
Because of this, Li was sick for several days because of anger.
Tang Junyao had no interest in paying attention to the affairs of the big house. Back then, her old man had persuaded Tang Huaixing not to rush off, because although his articles were well written, they were too colorful and lacked the 'pragmatic' that Your Majesty wanted to see most. It is suggested that he study abroad for a few years to increase his knowledge, and he will end up in the next subject.
It's a pity that Tang Bainian and his wife Tang Huaixing felt that her old man was uneasy and well-meaning, for fear that the children in their big room would gain the limelight, so they insisted on letting Tang Huaixing end as originally planned. The love and pity of his dear, let him spend a few days when his mother put the first place in his heart and treated him tenderly and sweetly like honey.
The result of Tang Huaixing's insistence on ending was unsurprising. He was known as a talented person and did not pass the jinshi examination, which greatly disappointed Tang Bainian and his wife and Tang Junyu, and he himself was decadent for a long time because of this.
Recently, he has regained his strength, but instead of putting himself into the book to prepare for the exam next year, he has met a 'noble man' and intends to follow the 'noble man' to seek a future
Tang Junyao shook his head, not taking it to heart.
Only when she got to Ruan's house, she saw that the always good-natured Ruan's face was actually annoyed. She was surprised for a while. She walked over and took her arm and asked coquettishly, "Who made the mother angry? Is it father or brother?"
Ruan was amused by her, and sighed for a while, her tone full of helplessness: "It has nothing to do with their father and son, it's just... that's all, I can't control it."
Tang Junyao was even more strange, so he turned his inquiring eyes to Wanqin beside him.
Wanqin couldn't wait to fight for her wife, and when she saw her, she quickly said, "It's not because of the eldest girl's marriage! Earlier, the lady told the eldest girl about a family, and it was Mrs. Wang's mother's distant house. A relative's son, his family background, character, and talents are all good. The eldest lady agreed at the beginning, and the lady came forward to arrange a date for the two families to meet. I didn't expect the eldest lady to regret it early this morning. She also took the eldest girl to the Zhenyuan General's Mansion to congratulate her!"
Tang Junyao immediately understood.
At the beginning, Mrs. Li didn't care about the marriage of her eldest daughter, Tang Junrou, so she allowed Tang Junrou's biological mother, Aunt Ying, to beg Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang came forward and asked Mrs. Ruan to pay attention to the right family on her behalf. Nguyen's temperament is soft, and she is really worried about the child's marriage in Dafang, so she agrees and tries her best to help her.
Only Mrs. Li was recently reminded by someone that she felt that the concubine's marriage could be used, so she changed her mind. Today, she actually took Tang Junrou to General Zhenyuan's mansion to congratulate General Zhenyuan on taking a concubine. Naturally, she hoped to use Tang Junrou to climb Gaozhi's idea. As for whether Tang Junrou will be a wife or a concubine in the future, it is not her consideration. within the range.
After all, at the occasion at the General's Mansion in Zhenyuan today, the people who will attend will not be any noble ladies.
Ruan's good intentions were all in vain, and she felt sorry for Li's behavior on the child. It was only because of her status that she couldn't say anything, but she was angry with herself.
According to Tang Junyao's idea, the reason for the big room is that they make a fuss, but she did not dare to say these words to the Ruan family, so as not to attract the other party to teach again.
She could only make jokes, which made Ruan's attention away from the bad things in the big room. Seeing the helpless and doting smile on Ruan's face again, she put her arms around her coquettishly and acted like a good boy. .
"You, the older you get, the more you love to act like a spoiled child. It's not as good as when you were a child." Ruan poked her forehead angrily.
She just pretended to be stupid.
For a few days, Yan Wu did not appear again, but Tang Yunyao could still feel that she did not leave, guessing that the fool was still thinking about what she said to her in the carriage that day. .
During this period, she sent He Shaoting several times, such as the wristbands she learned to make, and the wound medicine that Tang Huaimian asked someone to help her find. It took a lot of thought.
That night, Yan Wu finally appeared before she was about to fall asleep.
Seeing her face hesitant to say anything, Tang Junyao sat up against the head of the bed, pulled the quilt on her body, and looked like she was going to talk to her in detail: "Do you have something you want to ask me?"
Yan Wu tangled her little handkerchief, and after a long time, she stammered and asked, "Yaoyao, is the person in my dream who looks exactly like me you?"
"What do you think?" Tang Junyao asked without answering.
"I think it's you. Although I don't understand how she looks like that, I still think that person is you." Yan Wu replied hesitantly.
Tang Junyao just looked at her and didn't say anything.
Yan Wu pursed her lips and looked at her with hesitation in her eyes. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Yaoyao, why don't you want King Yu anymore? King Yu is so good to you, I have seen it all, in my dream When you are in a bad mood, it is he who makes you happy; it is he who feeds you medicine when you are sick; it is he who jumps down to save you when you fall into the water.”
She murmured the pictures she had dreamed together. Although she couldn't hear what the person in the dream said, she could still feel from King Yu's words and deeds that he was really kind to Yaoyao.
"But this time, why don't you want him?" At the end, she asked again in confusion.
Tang Junyao looked at her quietly, listening to her whispering about the things she had experienced in her previous life, when she asked again 'why not King Yu', she sighed inaudibly. There was even a slight smile on his lips.
"What a stupid girl, it's all fake, the good things you see are all fake! You only see him being nice to me, but you don't see how much I've spent in order to get him as good as I can how many people."
"He does treat me well, but he also treats others well. His goodness can be divided into countless parts, and what I get is just one of them. Maybe this part will be more than what others get, but it is still not complete. of."
"The kindness he gave was also for Yao'er who thought he was pure and kind like a white lotus in the pond, but not for Xu Yunyao, who was cruel and ruthless and excluded dissidents."
That person, with a gentle temperament, also likes the pure and beautiful, and regards him as the only girl in the world. Since she wants to compete for his favor and gain a foothold in the palace, she will naturally do what she likes, and play such a woman in front of him all the time.
As for sincerity? Maybe she has also invested, or maybe never, who knows? After all, the most brilliant acting skill in the world is to deceive yourself.
She used to not understand, but after experiencing 'being forced to leave the palace to recuperate due to illness', she understood everything. Maybe before that, she can still have luxury like 'sincerity', and after that, she will have nothing.
Yan Wu's heart suddenly felt a pain, and she seemed to feel the same for a moment. Tears fell straight down: "Did he hurt you before? Did he make you very sad?"
Tang Junyao sighed and took her handkerchief to wipe her tears: "It can't be said to hurt, let alone make me sad, it's just a normal and reasonable choice he made under special circumstances, and I also recognize my position, and naturally I will not be sad."
She was 'seriously ill', and even the imperial physician could not make a diagnosis, and since he was about to ascend the throne, it was naturally impossible for him to make a big mistake for a little concubine, and it was inconvenient to treat her as a 'severely ill almost incurable'. She was brought into the palace, so she was left outside the palace to recuperate, and there was nothing to complain about.
And because of that 'sickness', she was able to avoid the harem battle in the early days of King Yu's accession to the throne, and she completely hibernated herself and won a chance to breathe.
That is really a loss of horses, how can I know that it is not a blessing!
After hearing this, Yan Wu cried even more, and said while crying, "Then, will Brother Ting treat you better than King Yu?"
Tang Junyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know, it probably will!"
Who knows what will happen in the future? However, one thing is certain, if she chooses He Shaoting, the amount of effort she puts into it will definitely be more rewarding than the one she spent with King Yu in her previous life.
Yan Wu twitched, wondering if she had listened to her words.
—
King Yu suddenly woke up from the nightmare, with cold sweat on his forehead, his face as pale as paper, and a colic in his heart.
After a long time, the pain gradually weakened. He panted heavily, wiped a sweat indiscriminately, and pressed the position of his heart like a lingering fear, as if he could still feel the pain that was like a cone.
Just now, he had a nightmare, dreaming that he was holding a dead woman crying silently, but no matter how much he called, the woman never responded to him again.
He couldn't remember the face of the woman, but only remembered the deep regret that held her in his arms.
He rubbed his forehead lightly, and sat on the head of the bed to calm his tumbling thoughts.
The 'crackling' sound of the wick exploding also woke him up, and then he heard a faint sound from a distance, again and again.
It turns out that it's already four o'clock...
He turned around and was about to lie down again and continue to sleep, but suddenly he felt something, and when he looked up, he saw a strange and slender figure standing beside the Duobao stand.
He was startled, and was about to sternly ask 'who are you', but when he saw the face of the other party, he was struck by thunder, and the whole person was shocked on the spot.
It's her! It's this look!
The place in his heart that had always seemed to be missing seemed to be filled all of a sudden, he didn't even care about being afraid, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and hurriedly walked towards the figure: "Who are you? Why did you appear? In this palace?"
He stretched out his hand to touch the other party, but he encountered an empty space. After a closer look, there was no one in front of him.
He did not give up looking around, but there was no one in the room except himself.
Huajuan, who was on the vigil outside, heard the movement, and hurried in wearing a robe: "Your Highness is awake? But what do you need?"
Wang Yuqiang endured the disappointment in his heart, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can continue to sleep!"
After Huajuan left, he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, so he simply put on his clothes and stood up. Dot by dot, sketch the woman's face on the snow-white paper.
Xing'er's face, distant mountains and dark eyebrows, Jianshui eyes, a pretty nose, and seductive red lips like petals...
After a long time, he made the last stroke, looked at the woman in the painting, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
That's right, with this appearance, that person should look like this. It's just... Is there really a woman who looks like this in the world? His face was blank.
But he didn't want the next morning when the servant who came to help him clean up the scrolls saw the portrait he had not yet been able to collect, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness's painting is much better than the one the servants saw a few days ago."
King Yu was being served by the painting cuckoo and dressed. Hearing his words, his heart tightened and he couldn't wait to ask, "Could it be that you have seen the woman in this painting?"
"I have seen a painting, and the woman painted on it is very similar to His Royal Highness's painting." The servant thought for a while and replied.
"Where did you see it? Where is the painting now? Come here and let this king see it."
"It's in a small painting workshop, the painting is a few years old, and the painter is not a famous person, so the owner has been throwing it in the corner. A few days ago, the servant was out on business, and I saw it occasionally. If your Highness wants to If you want, the slave will go and find it.”
At this moment, Tang Junyao was putting on makeup on the mirror, Yan Wu stood beside her, and said honestly with her hands down, "Yaoyao, I went to Yu Wangfu again last night."
"What are you going to do there? What picture do you dream of and want to confirm?" Tang Junyao asked casually while holding the silk flower on his hair.
"I originally wanted to scold him, but seeing that he seemed to be having a bad dream, I let him go. But don't worry, I won't go there again." Yan Wu snorted, very Quickly added a sentence happily, "They are not good, let's stay together in the future!"
Tang Junyao glanced at her and saw that she had returned to her heartless and stupid appearance again. She was amused and said deliberately, "That's not possible. I want to be with Brother Ting in the future, and I have to give it to him." Have many, many children and form a big, big family.
As she said this in her heart, she walked out.
Yan Wu immediately chased after him unwillingly: "Yaoyao, don't be impulsive, you are still young! Maybe someone better than Ting'er will appear in the future..."
"Brother Ting is the best person in the world, there is no one better than him, I just fell in love with him and wanted him!" Tang Junyao was deliberately angry with her, but she didn't know that Tang Huaizhou just came over and told her this Heard the words right.
The two brothers and sisters stared at each other, Tang Huaizhou even looked like a ghost, and after a long while, he said sympathetically: "Brother Ting is also a bit unlucky, and you are a female demon star."
Immediately, his face suddenly changed: "I said why you were so considerate and gentle to him last time, it turned out to be the idea!"
No matter how thick-skinned Tang Junyao was, her brother felt a little embarrassed to hear what she said, but when he heard what he said next, he suddenly calmed down again, and his mind moved quickly.
Although she had made up her mind to entangle He Shaoting all her life, he was now in a high position and was busy with errands. And she, a woman in the house, rarely finds too many opportunities to get close to him. If she has Tang Huaizhou's help, things will be much easier.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward with a smile, and her voice was full of temptation: "Brother, father and mother fell in love with Wei's sister for you, do you know? Do you want to secretly see what Wei's sister looks like? OK? Is it easy to get along? I can help you if you want!"
In his last life, Tang Huaizhou married Wei Yingzhu, the daughter of a scholar Weiliang. Tang Junyao didn't have a deep impression of Wei Yingzhu, but remembered that she was a quiet, well-behaved woman who didn't like to talk much. However, in the past life, most of the ladies of Chaozhong Gui looked like this in front of her, and it was not surprising.
Tang Huaizhou wanted to pretend he didn't care, but the slightly flushed handsome face and the slightly pricked ears had betrayed his heart, which made Tang Junyao snicker.
Which boy is not pregnant? Which teenager wouldn't be curious about his future wife? Master Xiao Tang is no exception.
Sure enough, the future Mr. Tang cleared his throat and pretended to say casually, "I'll invite Brother Ting'er and a friend to appreciate the maple trees in Tongshan in the suburbs of Beijing later."
"Okay, my elder brother is the son of Shangshu, so it's natural to have a servant to serve you when you go out." Tang Junyao frowned.
"That's right!" Tang Huai Zhou answered with a serious face, and the two brothers and sisters showed tacit smiles.
However, he said that Yiyue arrived at He Shaoting in Tongshan on the outskirts of Beijing, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the little servant beside Tang Huaizhou who always had his head down. He always felt that he looked a little familiar.
It wasn't until the little servant stepped forward to serve tea and winked at him mischievously that he suddenly realized, and he was amused for a while, and reluctantly said to his friend: "You also let her be."
