"Since Master Tang is not at the mansion, then I will come back another day." Tang Songnian was not at the mansion, so He Shaoting naturally wouldn't stay long, lest he would be taught that he was unhappy, so he could only be reluctant to give up.
"Fool, although Daddy didn't say it clearly, he has already tacitly agreed to our marriage, and my mother agreed early in the morning. You must be busy with a lot of things when you are about to go on an expedition. Su Rui, there is no need to run again." Tang Junyao couldn't bear to see him running back and forth, and said angrily.
Who knew that He Shaoting would answer: "I know."
Tang Junyao was very surprised: "You know?"
He Shaoting nodded: "If Master Tang refuses to agree to this marriage, why would he allow me to come here again and again?"
Tang Junyao was slightly startled and asked inexplicably, "Since you know he agrees, why do you still need to..."
He Shaoting smiled slightly and did not answer her words.
If you want to give your most beloved daughter to someone else, who will feel better when she is a father, and naturally it is even more impossible to agree to be so happy.
The loyal and brave general He Shaoting who was about to go on an expedition ran to Tang Songnian's mansion every three or five minutes, which naturally attracted the attention of many courtiers.
Everyone knows that he is the son of Zhenyuan General Du Chengzhong, but Du Chengzhong has been pampering the oil bottle brought by a successor as a treasure over the years, but he has ignored his own son for many years.
He was afraid that he would never have thought that this biological son would not only become his only biological son, but he was also quite promising. With all his abilities, he was able to earn a place in the court, and he was highly valued by His Majesty. He has become a parent in the capital city. The mouth is 'other people's children'.
For this reason, Zhenyuan General Du Chengzhong has become the laughing stock of the whole capital. Everyone said that he didn't know treasure, and regarded a fish eyeball as a treasure, but threw away the real pearl.
Among them, there are even more rumors. It is said that General Zhongyong was rejected by his biological father when he was still in the womb. The reason is that General Zhenyuan, in order to please his new wife, drove away the concubine who was waiting for him, and became pregnant. The biological mother of General He is also listed here.
For a time, the circle of noble ladies in the capital added their disdain and contempt for Mrs. Yun, the wife of General Zhenyuan.
A widow who asked her husband to divorce her concubine who had been serving for many years before she even entered the door, even a pregnant woman was not spared.
Being teased a lot in person or behind his back, Du Chengzhong has slowly turned from his initial anger to his current numbness.
Especially since he knew that he had been childless for many years, and the real culprit was Feng Weiliang, his stepson whom he had spoiled for many years, he wanted to slap himself hard and make fun of outsiders for having no eyes. to argue.
He has no eyes at all, and does not know gold and jade!
He tried his best to ease the father-son relationship with He Shaoting, but found that everything about him could not arouse He Shaoting's emotional ups and downs. , as if the only connection between them was being an official of the same dynasty.
He could only tell himself again and again in his heart that this child had such a cold temperament and was indifferent to everyone. After all, they had been separated for too long, and it was no exaggeration for him to be indifferent.
These remarks did successfully persuade him, so that he could quickly clear up his mood every time he ran into a wall at He Shaoting.
But at this moment, he watched He Shaoting stretch out his hand to support Tang Songnian who was descending from the white marble steps.
Tang Songnian glanced at Du Chengzhong who was not far away, and then looked at He Shaoting next to him, feeling a little helpless, but still angrily said: "I'm not an old man, can it be that I can't walk even a few stone steps? Is it worth your help?"
"It rained last night and the ground was slippery, so please be careful, sir." He Shaoting didn't care about his attitude and warned him with concern.
As soon as the words fell, the courtier who looked straight at him slid down, and if it wasn't for the courtier on the side who quickly supported him, he would almost fall to the ground. Even so, he was frightened into a cold sweat.
If you really want to fall into such a fall, you will lose all your old faces.
Tang Songnian also saw this scene, and didn't say anything, but moved more cautiously.
Seeing this, He Shaoting took a few steps forward and hugged him tightly.
Every move of the two fell into the eyes of the surrounding courtiers, and many courtiers even aimed at Du Chengzhong intentionally or unintentionally.
His own son treats him like nothing, but he is so considerate and caring to others...
Wei Liang, who was familiar with Tang Songnian, stepped forward and joked: "You old arm and old leg, if you don't have General He by your side, I'm afraid you will fall on a big horse in front of me."
Tang Songnian glared at him angrily: "If I call this an old arm and an old leg, what is yours who is older than me called?"
Wei Liang laughed, and listened to Tang Songnian's instructions as if carelessly: "Shao Ting, go and help you Uncle Weber, he is old and can't stand falling."
"Yes." He Shaoting responded with a smile, and really came forward to help him.
Wei Liang laughed and scolded: "It's really not worth the slightest loss, that's all, I've convinced you!"
The two have been friends for many years, and now they have become the in-laws of their future sons and daughters. Naturally, the relationship has become a little closer. He Shaoting often communicates with the Tang Mansion, and naturally he knows that Wei Liang's daughter Wei Yingzhu has already made a marriage appointment with Tang Huaizhou. In the period of national filial piety, Wei Yingzhu should have married into the Tang Mansion this month.
Seeing that He Shaoting actually performed the junior ceremony in front of Tang Songnian, he respected Tang Songnian even more in his words. And Tang Songnian treated him as casually as a nephew, and the eyes of everyone looking at Du Chengzhong became more and more full of sympathy.
Du Chengzhong's face turned red and white, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
His own flesh and blood regarded him as a stranger, but he was obedient to an outsider and was considerate everywhere.
But he didn't even have the courage to step up and ask questions, because that outsider was deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he was even more powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend him at all.
Today's General Zhenyuan's mansion has long been in a state of precariousness, and he does not have the courage to recruit Tang Songnian as a formidable enemy for himself.
After watching the excitement for a while, everyone left the palace one after another and got on the carriage back to the palace.
Tang Songnian's senses have always been keen, and he naturally sensed Du Chengzhong's anger and unwillingness when he looked at him. He naturally understood what was going on, but he saw that Du Chengzhong didn't act in the slightest other than privately using his eyes to look at him. Shaking his head, he felt injustice for the young man beside him.
With such a biological father, this child is really suffering!
He Shaoting kept following Tang Songnian and Wei Liang at a distance like this, and after leaving the palace gate, he personally helped Tang Songnian onto the sedan chair, and ignored Du Chengzhong who was following him not far or near.
On the other hand, Du Chengzhong couldn't help but hurried forward and asked with concern: "We will go out early next month, is everything ready?"
"Thank you General Du for your concern, everything is ready." He Shaoting replied politely and distantly.
Du Chengzhong didn't care about his attitude, and continued to talk to him one after another. He Shaoting was a little impatient, but he still managed to deal with it.
He Shaoting was about to leave, but Du Chengzhong said casually: "You have reached the age of a weak crown now, the daughter of General Weiyuan is seventeen years old, with you..."
"I don't need to bother General Du about my affairs, farewell!" He Shaoting interrupted him and left without looking back.
Du Chengzhong was blocked by him until his face sank, and he returned to General Zhenyuan's mansion full of anger. Only after entering the mansion gate, Mrs. Yun rushed over and pulled him and cried, "Husband, please let me go. Let's go to Wei Liang! He has already learned a lesson, and based on his years of affection, he will spare his life."
"Have you been taught a lesson? Dare to plot against me, what's the point of this lesson! Go away!" Du Chengzhong was suffocating at He Shaoting. When he was in a fidgety mood, when he heard her mention Feng Weiliang, who made him a joke in the capital, he was furious. He rose up at once, pushed her away with force, and without turning back to the place where Feng Weiliang was under house arrest under her cries, picked up the soft whip and slapped the scarred Feng Weiliang fiercely.
Feng Weiliang was screamed and screamed again and again by him, and he wanted to pass out, but I don't know if he had been tortured for such a long time and practiced, but he couldn't pass out for a long time.
Du Chengzhong gritted his teeth, venting his anger one after another, until Feng Weiliang finally lost his support and fainted, ending his venting of anger today.
However, it was said that Emperor Tianxi first suffered a serious illness after the empress passed away. After he finally recovered from the illness, he lost weight and occasionally lost his mind when he was in the early morning. His mindless appearance made the courtiers feel worried. Chung.
Fortunately, after the imperial court announced the use of troops against Dong Di, Emperor Tianxi seemed to have found his goal again, and people suddenly became more energetic. But despite this, the call for the canonization of the crown prince is getting louder and louder, and Emperor Piantianxi was still in the court hall, following the words of some courtiers, praising the office of Xinwang's office.
At the juncture of courtiers calling for the establishment of a new prince, the emperor praised King Xin, and immediately some 'smart' courtiers smelled a little taste. For a time, there were many followers of King Xin, and there was a lot of traffic in front of King Xin's mansion.
Tang Junyao was fifteen years old, and Ruan Shi made her more strict. If she was not allowed to go out easily, she would not be able to be accompanied by Tang Huaizhou, unless she went to the palace to accompany the fifth princess, but because she had previously She had a bad record of running out of the palace as an excuse, but this time, Mrs. Ruan personally sent a trusted bodyguard to follow her. She must be assured that she is indeed entering the palace.
On this day, Tang Junyao left the Palace of the Fifth Princess, took a carriage back to the mansion, passed by Tang Bainian's mansion, which was the "Tang Shangshu Mansion" where their family lived, through the slightly swaying curtains by the wind , She looked out inadvertently, and saw a little girl about ten years old with messy hair and rumpled clothes sitting on the stone step of the Tang Mansion gate holding her face.
A young man dressed as a servant of the Tang Mansion was saying something to the little girl with a sullen face, but the little girl ignored him, still sitting with a depressed look on his face and motionless.
Seeing this, the young man seemed to swear a few words, and suddenly stretched out his hand to forcibly pull the little girl up. The little girl screamed and kicked hard.
Tang Junyao frowned and beckoned Chang Feng to come over and let him see what was going on.
But after a while, Chang Feng returned to his life.
"It's a little girl who doesn't know where she came from. She comes every day. When she arrives, she sits at the door and says she wants to wait for Yaoyao. If you ask who Yaoyao is, she can't say why she came."
