"What's the matter? Am I very capable?" Tang Junyao asked brightly.
He Shaoting chuckled and nodded cooperatively: "Yes, Yun Yao is really capable."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her smiling eyes that turned into two crescent moons.
"Brother Ting, why didn't you call me Baoya? You still called me Baoya before." After a long while, he heard her asking unhappily again.
He was slightly startled, why didn't he call her by her nickname? Naturally, it was because she had grown up, and he was a foreigner, so naturally it was not good for him to be so close. But that's just what he thought before, not anymore, he won't let himself be her 'external man'.
"Baby." He called with a smile.
Tang Junyao was finally satisfied now, his lips pursed, and the seductive little pear vortex jumped out again with majesty, seeing He Shaoting's fingertips itching, he really wanted to reach out and poke it.
"Shaoting!" The smile on his face instantly disappeared when he heard the voice behind him.
Tang Junyao noticed the change in his attitude and looked suspiciously at Du Chengzhong, who was walking towards him, and at He Shaoting, whose face suddenly became quite ugly, full of puzzlement in his heart.
"General Du." She calmed down and greeted Du Chengzhong.
Du Chengzhong looked at her with a frown, and his expression was a little displeased, and he said in a meaningful way: "Miss Tang is also a lady of everyone, so it's better to be more restrained."
"General Du, you are taking too much control." He Shaoting took a step forward, protecting Tang Junyao behind him, dissatisfied.
"I'm thinking of you too..."
"Enough, I don't need it." He Shaoting interrupted him in a low voice, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his voice, "Bao Ya, you go back first."
Tang Junyao noticed that there seemed to be something unusual between them, but he couldn't understand the reason for a while, but he looked at him worriedly when he saw that his face was not good-looking.
Those beautiful eyes were full of concern, and it also added a little warmth to He Shaoting, who was already in a bad mood. Knowing that she was worried about herself, she said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, let's go back!"
Seeing this, Tang Junyao could only nod her head in response, glared at Du Chengzhong secretly, and then turned to leave with her skirt.
She just took a few steps when she heard Du Chengzhong's slightly bitter voice: "Shao Ting, I am your father after all..."
Father? She stopped in surprise, knowing that He Shaoting had been looking at her, so she quickly covered up the past, stepped up to the side door of Tang Mansion across the road, knocked on the door with the sign of her appointment with Lan Chun, and took advantage of the step forward. The machine in the house turned around, glanced at He Shaoting from a distance, who was still watching him, smiled slightly, and raised his hand at him, signaling him to go back quickly.
He Shaoting understood her gesture, although he knew that she might not see it, he still smiled and nodded to her in response. Until he saw the door closed again, he turned and took the reins without looking at it.
"Shao Ting, listen to your father. Although the Tang family girl is good, it is not suitable for you. Do you know that King Yu once made it clear to the queen that he wanted to marry her as his concubine. She is a good girl, if it is not pure heart to tease King Yu, how can King Yu offer to marry her? It can be seen that she is not a safe person. As a military general, leading troops all year round, the most taboo what is not a woman's..."
"Shut up! You are not allowed to slander her! No one in the world knows better than me what kind of person she is. Du Chengzhong, don't let me hear you say nothing about her again!" A murderous look flashed across He Shaoting's face , as if as long as he said half a word, he would draw his sword without hesitation.
"Also, don't mention 'father' in front of me again, you don't deserve it at all. Every time you mention 'father', I find it ridiculous. General Du, I'm not acting on my will. There is no relationship between father and son with the general, and apart from official business, it is better to have less contact in private." He calmed down the anger in his heart and tried to calm his tone.
Du Chengzhong was stunned, knowing that the more calm a person is, the more determined his heart will be. Until he watched He Shaoting ride his horse away, he thought of the anger he had just exploded for Tang Junyao, and sighed: "Beauty is a disaster, it really is a disaster!"
A good boy, but he was fascinated by a woman!
In General Zhenyuan's mansion, Feng Weiliang, who was returning from a trip, suddenly saw the east courtyard of the mansion, which had been vacant for a long time, and was cleaned up. Curiously, he grabbed a servant next to Xingjing and asked, "Who told you to clean up this yard? Are there any distinguished guests coming to the mansion?"
The man replied respectfully, "It was ordered by the general, and he just said that if the eldest son returns in the future, he will have a place to stay."
Having said this, the man looked at him with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He was afraid that he would notice, so he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.
"Eldest son? Which mansion is the eldest son?" Feng Weiliang was a little confused for a while.
The man glanced at him quickly and lowered his head lower: "It's the eldest son of our house..."
As if afraid of his attack, the man quickly found a reason and left in a hurry.
"Brother, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Du Xingchang came back from the Yun family's house and saw her brother standing by the side of the road, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Eldest son? If he is the eldest son, then what am I? What am I?!" Feng Weiliang murmured, and finally his face became a bit hideous, which shocked Du Xingchang, and suddenly understood his brother. Confused about something.
She sighed softly: "So that's what happened! Before going out today, Daddy had already told the housekeeper to rearrange the East Courtyard. Listening to what he said, it seemed that Brother Shaoting would come back."
"He Shaoting will come back?!" Feng Weiliang's face changed, and his voice was even a bit sharp, "I knew he was uneasy and kind, and the resistance he showed earlier was just hard-to-find, how could he be willing to give up our mansion? Everything in it! It must have been decided early in the morning to come back and snatch it!"
Du Xingchang said with some disapproval: "Brother Shao Ting is a general himself, and his rank is even higher than that of daddy. He has worked hard for everything with his hands, so why should he covet other people's things?"
"Brother Shao Ting is very affectionate. I'm afraid that you regard him as a brother, but he may not agree to recognize your sister! You are just looking at him with the title of loyal and brave general on his head. If he is a useless person The rascal, I see if you can call out the four words of brother Shao Ting so easily!" Feng Weiliang glared at her.
Du Xingchang looked a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't refute her brother's words.
Not to mention Feng Weiliang, even Yun, who has been married to Du Chengzhong for more than ten years, did not expect her husband to make such an arrangement. Let the servants call He Shaoting the eldest son, what will be the face of his own son Weiliang
Bright son? She sneered.
With a sound of 'Liang Gongzi', you will see each other at a distance.
Although Wei Liang is not his biological child, over the years, he has treated him with respect and consideration like his own father. Unexpectedly, in the end, he could not match the blood of that person, and taught him that he is now the laughing stock of the people in the house.
If he will welcome back his 'pro son' again in the future, I am afraid that her Wei Liang will become a joke in the whole capital, and what face is there to walk outside
Thinking of this possibility, her eyes gleamed with gloom.
—
Tang Junyao never thought that Zhenyuan General Du Chengzhong was actually He Shaoting's biological father. After thinking about it in her last life, she didn't seem to notice any connection between the two people, but she didn't want to go over there to find out anything, just wait until some day when He Shaoting is willing , tell her that it is.
At this moment, she was instructing Lan Chun in a low voice: "You quietly spread the news in the house, and said that the young master of Chen's family and the second girl are in love with each other, and the marriage of the two families will be booked soon, and the mediator is still the young master of Chen's cousin. My aunt, Mrs. Yi."
Although Lan Chun didn't understand her intentions, she didn't say much, so she obeyed and went out to start.
Tang Junyao picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth to take a nibble, and the light flashed in his eyes.
Most of the Li family would not be willing to marry their daughter to the Chen residence. After all, Chen Zhaoyong was useless and did not meet her requirements for her son-in-law.
But so what? She doesn't mind adding more fire and making the marriage of the two families a reality. The more rumors are said, the more people believe it. Coupled with what happened in the Yi Mansion, Li's mother and daughter must have a guilty conscience. Once this person has a guilty conscience, they will have no confidence in what they say or do, and outsiders will only think that they are bluffing.
After half an hour, Mrs. Li, who came back with her daughter, went straight to the third room, and dragged Mrs. Ruan for another trouble. Holding their necks and not giving an inch, the two wives made a lot of trouble, and even the Wang family, who had become more secluded in recent years, was alarmed.
Tang Junyao originally wanted to help her mother, but Ruan Shi had guessed her plan early in the morning, and specially asked Fuqin to come over to spread the word, so that she could stay in the room and not go anywhere, let alone interfere with the adults. Things.
Tang Junyao was helpless, knowing that she also wanted to protect her daughter, and she didn't want her to be contaminated with these private things, but she didn't insist. Anyway, she will know the result sooner or later, but there is no need to rush it for a while.
She had nothing to do, so she began to tidy up the house in a rare way, rummaging here and there, and even found a box of clothes that she wore as a child and various small gifts she received.
She gestured with the little clothes on her body and clicked her tongue secretly.
"This little dress is really cute, the fabric is soft, and the work is good. Was it made by your wife when the girl was a child?" Lan Chun's eyes were shining, and he couldn't put it down when he saw this little dress.
"Most of them are made by mothers, some are made by grandmothers, and some are made of blue and green patterns." Tang Junyao explained by pointing to the small clothes.
"The girl is really amazing. You can still remember things so clearly when you were a child." Lan Chun said with a look of admiration.
Tang Junyao laughed dryly and said in her heart: Naturally, she remembers it clearly, after all, at that time, she was not really an ignorant baby.
Afraid that this silly girl would continue to ask her something about her childhood, she pointed at it casually: "Lan Chun, bring me that box and have a look."
Lan Chun responded crisply, walked over quickly and hugged the brocade box she was pointing to.
Tang Junyao took it and opened it, and saw that there were some old things inside, and the charred amulet that day was also there.
She thought of Yan Wu, who had been unable to feel it for a long time, and thought for a while: Grandma said that this amulet blocked her evil spirits when she was a child, although she always felt that she was just recruiting herself from her previous life to attach it to Bao Ya, but even so, It can only show that this talisman paper has some utility, and maybe it can help her to call out Yan Wu.
She took out the amulet and handed it to Lan Chun: "You take a chance to go out of the house, take this thing to find Sai Shenxian, and ask him for me, what is the use of this amulet? By the way, ask him to keep it as it is Draw another one for me."
Lan Chun took the talisman and came down, just waiting to find a suitable opportunity to go out to find someone.
Ruan's tough attitude made Li's less than half of the advantage, and when Tang Bainian came back in the evening, he pulled him and cried for a long time.
Tang Bainian's eyes flickered after hearing this, but he only felt that this was a great opportunity, so he took a long case and said angrily: "It's too much of a deception, it's too much to deceive people, even my own sisters, Tang Junyao, that dead girl. It's really deceiving people! No, I'll go to Tang Songnian and ask for an explanation!"
After speaking, he angrily went out the door and went straight to Tang Songnian's study.
Tang Songnian had just returned from the palace, put on his normal clothes and was sipping a sip of hot tea with a teacup, but saw Tang Bainian rush in aggressively.
He waved at the servant who was following Tang Bainian and wanted to stop him from breaking in, indicating that it was okay, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with Big Brother?"
"I ask you, your precious daughter set up a poisonous scheme to frame my daughter's reputation, do you care about this?!" Tang Bainian asked angrily.
Tang Songnian was surprised, but did not believe his one-sided remarks.
What is his daughter's temperament, doesn't he know? Although his temperament is more sturdy, he has never been the kind of person who would take the initiative to challenge things.
It's just that he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can see at a glance that it is fake that Tang Bo came to seek justice for his daughter years ago.
"They are all my own brothers. The eldest brother speaks directly when he has something to say. You don't need to judge him, let alone stir up the topic in a way that slanders your niece. The eldest brother should know my temper. One of the scales, if anyone dares to touch half of her hair, even if I risk my life, I must teach him to pay the price! So, eldest brother, please be careful!" He said calmly.
Tang Bainian was choked by him, and his momentum suddenly weakened a bit. His original plan to use his daughter to blackmail him had to be shelved, but he was still unwilling in the end, and snorted coldly: "You love your daughter, is it possible that I will Don't love my daughter? Yunyu is such a good girl, after this incident, how can she have a good reputation? How can that bastard boy, brother Yong, deserve my daughter! If it wasn't for the good deeds that your precious daughter did, Yunyu How could it end up in the current dilemma?"
Seeing Tang Songnian's face darkening, for fear that he would be really annoyed and his plans would be ruined, he hurriedly said, "It's not that I slandered my niece. If you don't believe it, go back to the house and ask the third sibling."
Tang Songnian listened to what he said in a prudent manner, as if it really happened, he was suspicious and deep in his heart, and secretly decided to ask what was going on later.
"Don't worry, eldest brother, I will go and ask clearly. Yes or no, I will have an answer." He said unhurriedly.
"Of course I won't use this to fool you." After a pause, Tang Bainian finally talked about the purpose of his trip, "I heard that the magistrate of Anfeng is full, and the position of magistrate of Anfeng is temporarily vacant. As for the position of command, your elder brother and my qualifications are sufficient for the position, and you are now high in the position of minister of officials, so it is not difficult to arrange such an official position for my brother.”
Tang Songnian laughed angrily. Anfeng County is a suburb of Beijing. Although it is not big, it is quite rich. It is also at the foot of the emperor. How many fiefdom officials are willing to drop their rank to become the magistrate of Anfeng County. The position of district magistrate', can you let yourself arrange for him
"Tongzhou magistrate, Anyang prefect, Ruling magistrate, Xinke champion, so far there have been at least these four people who have asked me for this 'little magistrate' position. Big brother thinks that his talents and connections are better than these four. Is it high?"
Tang Bainian was stunned.
Tang Songnian shook his head: "It's a good thing for my eldest brother to have an enterprising spirit, but he also needs to be down-to-earth. Anfeng County is indeed a good place, but there are many people who are staring at it. State times."
"Big brother just needs to settle down and work hard, and one day he will achieve what he wants. This is also the case with Huaixing. Seeing that a new subject is about to start again, but recently, he is rarely seen writing books, and he always gets it. I ran out of the sky, how can I do it! Big brother should also keep an eye on it."
Tang Bainian's face was quite ugly. If he said it, he was unwilling. He didn't want to let himself stand out, for fear that he would crush him in the future
"You mean that I can't get the magistrate of Anfeng, right?" He said with a sullen face.
"With the senior brother's qualifications, it is indeed not enough."
"Okay, I understand!" Tang Bainian's face was gloomy. He knew that what he had planned was impossible, but he didn't dare to let him go. He only gave him a hateful look, turned and left.
A few days later, the Qian family came to ask for marriage for her grandson Chen Zhaoyong, and the request was naturally Tang Yunyu, who already had a 'skin relationship' with her grandson. How could the Li family agree, and she thought of her daughter eating. For the loss, he couldn't get half of the compensation from the third room, and he was so angry that he couldn't care about much, and he pointed at Qian and scolded.
Qian's family is not willing to suffer, and feels that he is an elder, so he actually let a junior treat him like this, and immediately scolded him back. The two who used to get along very well, can't wait to spray the worst and most vicious words in the world on each other, so that the people around them are amazed.
Because of the marriage between Chen and Tang, the big house was riotous, and Li was frustrated again and again. The anger that accumulated in his stomach was completely attacked on Tang Junrou, which also caused Tang Junrou to call Tian Tian not and the ground not working. .
Tang Junyao was well protected by Tang Songnian and Ruan Shi. No one dared to make trouble in front of her because of the trouble in the big room. From time to time, Lan Chun told her the farce of the big room as a joke. Relish.
On this day, Lan Chun, who finally found the opportunity to sneak out of the house to find the immortals, came back with a dignified expression.
"Girl, Sai Shenxian said that this is not a talisman at all, but a soul talisman drawn with human blood mixed with cinnabar!" She said impatiently.
Tang Junyao was taken aback.
The soul-binding talisman, whose soul is bound? Is it hers, or the real treasure
"Sai Shenxian wants to meet the girl." Lan Chun whispered again.
At this moment, it is not only Sai Shenxian who wants to see her, she also wants to see him and ask clearly.
After the master and servant sneaked out of the house and found the place where Sai Shenxian and Lan Chun made an appointment, Tang Yunyao had no time to speak, and Sai Shenxian couldn't wait to ask: "Where did the grandmother get this talisman? ?"
Tang Junyao calmed down and thought for a while before answering: "I remember it well, my grandmother once said that it was asked by a Xuanqing Taoist in Chaoyunguan."
"Chaoyun Temple? Daoist Xuanqing?" Sai Shenxian frowned, not remembering such a number one person, and asked in a low voice, "Can you hear about 'Transfer Soul'?"
Tang Junyao's heart trembled, but he still replied calmly: "I heard from the book that it was a coincidence after death that the soul was overwhelmed by another person who had just died and survived as the other person. ."
Sai Shenxian nodded: "It's almost the same thing, but this talisman is even more vicious. It forcibly detains the soul of a living person and moves it into the body of another dying person, coexisting with the soul of the original owner. One."
Tang Junyao's face suddenly turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What is the purpose of doing this?"
"Naturally, it is the continuation of the original owner's destiny. The girl needs to know that people's destiny is predestined from birth, and the soul is the main, and the soul determines the destiny. After one person dies, even if it is a coincidence, the soul attaches to another person's body, and it continues. It is only his own destiny, not the destiny of the person whose body he has occupied. That is the saying 'a sparrow is a sparrow, even if it flies on a branch, it can't become a phoenix'."
Tang Junyao's mind went blank, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Yan Wu, who looked exactly like herself in her previous life, and knew many secret things about herself in her previous life, and even 'dreaming' about what she experienced in her previous life. the 'female ghost'.
She tried hard to keep her voice from shaking so badly: "Since there are two souls in one body, which one is dominant?"
Sai Shenxian's face gradually became ugly: "At the beginning, it was natural that the new soul was the main one. After all, I would think of using this method. The soul of the original owner must have been quite weak. It's just..."
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Just, the girl needs to know that the human body and the human soul are one-to-one, and the body is like a room specially built for the soul. The soul of the original owner. No matter how weak, everything in the body is born according to it; no matter how strong the new master is, it is impossible to completely adapt to the 'house' that does not suit her at all. Over the years, the weak will become stronger and the strong will become weaker. , until eventually, the weakened 'strong' will be forcibly driven away."
Tang Junyao's body kept shaking, but he insisted on asking, "What about after the expulsion?"
"Naturally, the soul flies away and disappears completely between heaven and earth."
Tang Junyao only felt as if her throat was being pinched tightly, and taught her that it was difficult to even breathe. After a while, she asked word by word, "So, if two souls exist at the same time, can they perceive each other? The presence?"
"The owner who is still in the house will naturally know that there is an 'intruder', but most of the 'intruder' will think that this is an 'empty house' that has no owner, and may not know the existence of the other party."
