Tang Yue didn't see Tang Shi, she was joking with the woman beside her. The woman didn't look very good-looking, but she was well dressed, with a shrewd look in her eyes.
Hong Zhong walked and found that Tang Shi was missing, and immediately turned around to look for him, and saw that he was holding four sugar figures in his hands, and one was licking in his mouth. But this heart is still like a child.
He was about to greet Tang Shi when he saw Tang Shi motioning for him not to make a sound. Hong Zhong understood immediately, followed Tang Shi's line of sight, and saw Tang Yue and the woman beside her.
He let the eight servants stay where he was, while he came to Tang Shi's side and whispered, "Little Young Master, that is the young lady of the Lin family, that is, Tang Zhen's wife."
Tang Shi frowned, how did they get together? Spiritual power reached out to the two, and their conversation immediately reached Tang Shi's ears.
But the conversation between the women was all about those things. After listening for a while, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he withdrew his mental power, continued to lick his sugar man, and walked home.
Because he bought eight slaves, Tang Shi didn't plan to tell the Tang family now, so he went back to Hong Zhong's house first.
Hong Zhong leading eight people home naturally attracted the attention of others, but after all, they were all city people who had seen the world. In their eyes, buying slaves was the most normal thing.
Hong Zhong closed the courtyard door, stood up with a rough face, made eight people stand in a row, and roared loudly: "All stand up for me!"
Tang Shi held back his laughter. Hong Zhong took the rules from the army, but that's fine, he wanted people who could work, not people who were slaves.
The eight people were startled by Hong Zhong's voice, and immediately straightened their backs, but they still didn't dare to look directly at Hong Zhong, and either floated to other places or lowered their heads.
"All look up! Look at me!"
The eight people were shocked at the same time, and they all stared at Hong Zhong. Hong Zhong took out eight deeds of betrayal from his arms, handed them to Tang Shi under their watchful eyes, and said, "Remember, it was the young master who bought you all. , the young master is kind-hearted and will not treat you harshly, but you can't climb up the pole, do things when you should do things, don't watch what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, what do you want to say now? , finish it all at once!"
I have to say that sometimes a man from the army has a spirit, and this spirit can infect the people around him, Ding Fa and the others are three examples. A world of difference.
As soon as Hong Zhong finished speaking, he heard a woman in her forties ask, "Can this old slave know what we are going to do?"
This woman's face is vicissitudes of life, but her expression is very determined. She has a gentle appearance. It is strange that she has an indescribable temperament, and judging from her conversation, she should have read books. A woman who is knowledgeable and reasonable has become a slave, and I have to say that good luck makes people.
"What to do is to be arranged according to your own conditions. Tell me what you know first?"
"To tell the truth, the old master and the young master, the old slave used to be an errand in the noble family, but the noble family was in trouble, and the old slave fled here. If you want to talk about the living old slave who serves people, you can talk about other things. Nope." The woman's tone was not in a hurry, and there was no shyness on her body, so it could be seen that she was not lying.
Tang Shi suddenly had an idea, "There is a girl in our family, you will follow her in the future."
The woman bowed her head in thanks.
"What's your name?"
"Also ask the young master to give his name."
"Just use your original name. What was your original name?"
"The old slave's original name is Zhang Shu."
Tang Shi nodded, "That's it."
Zhang Shu thanked him again, her originally calm face was slightly excited.
The remaining seven seemed to be honest people who could endure hardship. Hong Zhong tapped a few words and finally said: "Tomorrow I will take you to a place first, so that you can learn how to work, and I will be here tonight. stay."
The servant thing has also been resolved, and the rest is the matter of sowing the flower seeds. The flower seeds have been bought in Tang Shi, and I will go when I have time.
After returning to Tang's house, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Fang sewed new clothes in the yard. They were for Tang Shi's schoolmates to wear. The fabrics used were the boxes that Zhao Jin sent.
The child grows too fast and has to be re-measured. Tang Shi was called by Mr. Fang to take another measurement. Mr. Fang said while recording the size, "Uncle, this fabric is not cheap, right? Where did it come from? ?"
Tang Shi didn't hide it, "Didn't Big Brother Zhao go to Kyoto and don't need it? I gave it to our house."
A smile appeared on Fang's delicate face, "Father is right, this Zhao Dalang is a man who values love and justice."
Tang Shi was happy when he heard the words, and his eyes turned into crescent moons, but he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, second sister-in-law, do you know Tang Zhen's wife?"
Fang's hand moved for a while, and even Gao was stunned for a moment.
"Why did my uncle ask this?"
Tang Shi looked innocent, "I just asked."
Mrs Fang sighed, "I know, how can I not know? Do you know what business their family made their fortune?"
Tang Shi's mind turned sharply, "Could it be a fat powder?"
Fang Shi smiled and glanced at Tang Shi, "Uncle is really smart. In fact, my aunt is very good at making fat powder. Our family used to know their family well. I played with that Lin Shi when we were young, but later I When my father fell ill, my mother sold the recipe to the Lin family at a low price, but my father still left. My mother also left after a few years."
Tang Shi did not expect that there is such a source.
"Why are you talking about these sad things? My uncle asked me if I knew what happened to Mrs. Lin?" Mrs. Fang hid the sadness in her heart and asked again with a smile.
Tang Shi said, "Does my sister know her too?"
Mrs Fang was stunned for a moment, "You mean auntie? She has never had any dealings with Mrs Lin. Why does my uncle ask such a question?"
Tang Shi smiled, "It's nothing. I went to find Xiaofeng and the others." He shook the four candy men in his hand, "I bought it for them, and I'll get it for them."
Fang Shi slightly rebuked: "They are all so old, uncle, don't spend this money."
Tang Shi replied with a smile: "No matter how big you are, you are younger than me, right?"
During dinner in the evening, Tang Shi quietly observed the clothes on Tang Yue's body, and suddenly found that she was really particular about her, but if she just went to see Lin Shi, would she need to be so particular about it? After all, no matter how stupid Tang Yue was, it was impossible to steal Lin's limelight.
Things seem a little out of the ordinary.
"Stone, it's almost August, which school are you going to go to?" Tang Qing is happy that several children in the family can go to school. No, there are still ten days to go to school, he I didn't know which school it was, so I asked while eating.
"Father, I have already found it. Nanlin Academy is not far from our house, and Wei Cong also goes to school there." Tang Shi temporarily put aside his thoughts about Tang Yue and answered Father Tang's question.
Wei Cong Tang's family also know each other. In their eyes, Wei Cong is the best child. He studies hard, plays well with their stones, and is polite and sensible. They all like it. If they could study with him in the same school, they would be at ease.
"Okay, okay." Tang Qing said two good words and stopped talking.
"Father, has the fifty acres of land been rented to someone else?"
"It's rented, it's rented, the rent set by our family is not high, and some people want to plant it, but ah, the 50 acres of land are already planted, but can you be busy with your 10 acres of flowers alone? Don't you mean hiring people?" Liu said.
Tang Shi took a sip of the soup, "Father, Mother, I was about to talk about this, I have already found the person, there are seven people in total, so many people, I thought about renting a place next to my ten acres of land. The house, let them live there, and it is convenient to take care of them."
"That's right, Shito, if you need help, you must tell your family, but don't tire yourself out." Tang Nian said distressedly.
Tang Shi nodded, "Brother, I know."
The life of the Tang family is getting better and better, and things are slowly getting back on track. When Tang Shi was lying on the bed at night, when he thought about his past life, he felt a little blurry. Those dark and bloody things were gradually passing away. Now he is in a peaceful and prosperous world, living his life leisurely and getting along with his family in harmony. Really happy.
There is also the commander who is far away in Kyoto, and I don't know if his life there will be difficult. He had already asked Hong Zhong to send the letter he wrote at noon, and Zhao Jin would receive it soon... After thinking about it, he slowly fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Shi routinely pulled the four children up for fitness exercises. Since Tang Shi replaced Zhao Jin to teach them martial arts yesterday, Tang Feng and the others were shocked and asked when Tang Shi learned martial arts.
Tang Shi was too lazy to make excuses, so he threw the pot to Zhao Jin, saying that Zhao Jin passed the martial arts to him, and he suddenly became a master.
Facing the obvious disbelief on the faces of the four, Tang Shi didn't have much, and taught them martial arts directly. In fact, Tang Shi was right. Zhao Jin did teach him some moves. After all, Tang Shi was a wild way, and if he used his true style, except for his abilities, Tang Shi was not Zhao Jin's opponent.
When the four of them saw that Tang Shi's moves were indeed the same as Zhao Jin's, they chose to believe him and learn martial arts from him obediently.
After exercising, several people went to have breakfast. Tang Ya was about to go back to her room to read and practice calligraphy, but was stopped by Tang Shi.
"Xiaoya, let me ask you, if there is an aunt who has no children and no source of life, would you be willing to take her in?"
Tang Ya blinked. Although she was puzzled, she replied, "I have to ask my family first. If they agree, I will help her."
Tang Ya's world is relatively simple. Tang Shi doesn't think simplicity is bad, but there are always bad people in this world. As a girl's family, Tang Shi, as an uncle, can't tell her that these people are sinister. Zhang Shu was different. After all, Zhang Shu was a bad guy in a big family, and she knew more or less something. It would be better for her to mention Tang Ya.
"Xiaoya, let's go, let's go ask your parents together."
Tang Feng and the others were curious and came along with them.
The two came to Tang Ji and Fang's courtyard. Fang was cleaning the yard. When they saw them, they smiled and said, "Why are you all here?"
Tang Shi said his intention, and Fang Shi immediately put down the broom in his hand, "It's not impossible to give a bite to eat, but I don't worry about this stranger following Xiaoya, this..."
Tang Shi motioned Mrs. Fang to follow him to the corner, and showed Mrs. Fang the prepared deed of prostitution. Mrs. Fang suddenly widened her eyes, "This, this..."
Tang Shi nodded, "Second sister-in-law, I know that you have seen the world, so I will tell you clearly, but it's better not to talk about it with my father, mother and second brother."
Mrs Fang nodded stunned, "Yes, yes, I went to a big family with my mother to sell fat powder before, and I saw the servants in the big family's house, dressed much better than our ordinary people, even talking and listening were comfortable. But I still want to see what that aunt looks like first."
"Okay, I'll bring her over later." After Tang Shi discussed it with her, he brought Zhang Shu over.
Fang Shi carefully looked at it for a while, and bit his ear at Tang Shi, "Uncle, I think this person is better than I have ever seen, and I don't know which noble family he worked in before."
"Then I'll keep her. Xiaoya is also a big girl after all. It's good to have someone around to take care of her. After all, we can't stay by her side all the time."
Fang Shi smiled happily, "It's still my uncle who is thoughtful."
Here the two were whispering, while Tang Ya looked at the aunt in front of her curiously. After watching for a while, she turned around and ran back to her room, holding a pack of oiled paper and handing it to Zhang Shu, "Auntie, eat it."
Zhang Shu looked at the little girl with pure and clear eyes in front of her, she was very worried, she took it with a smile, "Thank you, Miss."
Tang Ya blushed suddenly when she heard her calling him that.
