Chapter 69: Do You Think I'm Like a Fortune Teller?
A crooked reasoning came out of his mouth, as if it were also reasonable.
Song Yu lowered his head and held his face, but he didn't look at him. After eating a chopstick noodle, he said slowly: "Why bother to seek the near and far." ”
Tang Xu laughed at this time, leaned back in the chair, took a sip of the water in front of him, and said slowly: "It seems that Mrs. Tang has finally discovered my advantages." ”
Well, there's no one with a thick skin like this.
Song Yu didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Tang Xu looked very interested, leaned forward slightly, approached Song Yu, and said, "Teach others, I have to charge." But Mrs. Tang, it's free. ”
He propped up the back of the chair Song Yu was sitting on, leaned close to her ear, smiled lowly, and said, "Mrs. Tang, do you want to try it now?"
His tone was very ambiguous, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were shining. It's completely like a love boy.
I don't know why, Song Yu suddenly remembered that Miss Kong Si at this moment. The way he looks now, where can you see that he has a favorite person.
Song Yu's distraction at this moment could not be concealed from Tang Xu, he sat up straight, his slender and bony fingers knocked on the table, and asked with a smile: "What does Mrs. Tang think so obsessed with?"
His face became quite fast, and it was inexplicably creepy. Song Yu naturally didn't tell him what he thought, and said, "Shouldn't Mr. Tang think that I am fascinated by Mr. Tang's charm?"
Tang Xu laughed at this time, snorted, approached Song Yu, and said, "I have to remind Mrs. Tang that the nose of lying is going to get longer." ”
Song Yu didn't say a word at this time.
Tang Xu had had enough, and seeing that the noodles in the bowl were about to be mushy, he picked up the chopsticks again and ate the noodles.
Tonight's Tang Xu played his cards a little unreasonably, Song Yu went to the kitchen to pour water after washing, and he stopped him in the kitchen. Song was ashamed, but he couldn't control his reaction at all. In the end, I had to bite my lip to prevent myself from making a sound.
The weekend will come soon, although Tang Xu said it in advance. But on Saturday morning, a call came from the old house. Said it was for the two of them to go home for dinner.
They all called, Song Yu originally wanted to go over early. But Tang Xu was not in a hurry, ate breakfast slowly, and went to the study for a while, and then prepared to go out.
Weekends are not as congested as weekdays, and the two of them went out to avoid the peak hours of weekends, and the road was unimpeded.
Tang Xu hadn't spoken much since he got in the car, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When he was about to reach the old house, he suddenly pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.
Song Yu didn't know why he stopped the car, and looked at him suspiciously.
Tang Xu was a little careless, and said lightly: "Don't meddle in the affairs of the old mansion." ”
What he said was a little inexplicable, and Song Yu didn't know what he could meddle in.
There was a blank look on her face. I thought that Tang Xu would say anything more, but he didn't, and after he said this, he started the car again.
Song Yu looked sideways at him, but he obviously had no intention of saying more, and he didn't look at her again.
It didn't take long for the car to arrive at the door of the old house, which used to be empty, but now there is a car parked at the door. Tang Xu's second brother Tang Chengen was standing by the car.
His car was just in the way, as if he was waiting here.
The corners of Tang Xu's lips hooked, he stopped the car, opened the door and got out of the car, and said lazily: "It's a coincidence, the second brother just went out and came back?"
Tang Chengen's eyes swept into the car, and his face was a little gloomy. said lightly: "The car broke down here." ”
"Oh, is it?" Tang Xu stretched out his voice and said slowly: "Second brother is lucky, it just happened to be bad at the door." Otherwise, it's troublesome. ”
Tang Chengen nodded quietly and glanced into the car again. said lightly: "Won't my brother and sister get out of the car?"
Tang Xu patted his head and said, "Yes, I almost forgot." He said and returned to the car, and said to Song Yu in the car: "Go in first, the second brother's car is broken here." It won't get better for a while. ”
Although the two were just greetings, there was an undercurrent underneath.
Song Yu knew that this was to support himself, so he said hello, and then politely greeted Tang Chengen and went to the courtyard.
As long as Father Tang is there, the courtyard seems to be a little quieter than usual.
When Song Yu went in, Tang's father and Tang's mother were not there, and I didn't know if they were out or upstairs. However, Xue Zhaoying was coaxing the children in the living room, and Song Yu, the housekeeper, showed a smile on his face, and said affectionately: "Brother and sister are here." In the past few days, this kid has been talking about the little aunt a few times. ”
She nodded the little boy's head.
Song Yu smiled slightly, said a few polite words, and went to the kitchen to help as usual.
She had just entered the kitchen, and Xue Zhaoying, who had hardly entered the kitchen before, followed in. She skillfully took out a apron and put it on, and said with a smile: "There are many things to do with children, and you and your sister-in-law have always been busy with things in the kitchen." Both little ones are obedient today, and I will help too. ”
She was quite cold last time, but now she seems to have regained her enthusiasm again.
Song Yu smiled slightly and did not speak.
She obviously knew that Song Yu and Tang Xu came back together, but she didn't ask Tang Xu. Instead, he talked to Song Yu about coming to home.
It's just that most of the time she is talking, and Song Yu is listening.
After talking like that for a while, Xue Zhaoying suddenly said, "Are your younger brothers and sisters free?" How about shopping together tomorrow if you have time? ”
She actually wanted to go shopping with Song Yu, this sun simply came out in the west.
Song was a little surprised, and suddenly remembered Tang Xu's sentence not to meddle in the old mansion. Rao is no matter how sluggish she is, she also noticed that something was wrong with Tang Chengen's family today.
She smiled and said, "I've been busy all this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany my second sister-in-law." ”
Xue Zhaoying didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay when you have time." After a slight pause, she looked at Song Yu, and then said, "That kid in our family has been talking about going to find his uncle and aunt several times, and we haven't been to where my brother and sister live." When are my siblings free, let's go over and disturb?"
It's not good to refuse a second time if you've already rejected it once. Song Yu couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, so he had to say: "I've been busy lately, I'll call my second sister-in-law when I'm free." ”
Her words were just perfunctory, Xue Zhaoying didn't seem to hear it, smiled and responded, and said, "Then we'll wait for our younger siblings to disturb our younger siblings when they are free." ”
Where Song Yu is her opponent, she gave this matter in a simple sentence.
She didn't know what Xue Zhaoying wanted to do, so she smiled slightly.
Tang Xu and Tang Chengen didn't stay outside for long, and came in in about ten minutes. After Tang Xu came in, he leaned lazily on the sofa as if he had no bones, while Tang Chengen went upstairs.
Nothing could be seen on their faces, as if nothing had happened.
After Tang Chengen went upstairs, Xue Zhaoying was obviously a little absent-minded, stayed in the kitchen for a while, and found an excuse to go upstairs.
But she didn't go long, and soon came down. drove her aunt away and taught Song Yu to cook her specialty dishes. And from time to time, he will also mention Song Yu, what Tang's mother likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat, and she is so affectionate that Song Yu is like a sister.
Song couldn't bear such enthusiasm, and kept a smile and watched on the side. From time to time, I echoed a sentence or two.
I didn't see Wen Yi and Tang Yao this morning, and I don't know where they went. Song Yu wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't speak.
On this day, the atmosphere in the Tang family's old house was a little depressing, and after lunch, Tang's father didn't know what was picked up by the secretary.
He didn't say anything to go back, so Song Yu and Tang Xu naturally couldn't go back. So he stayed in the old house.
On this day, Tang's mother also rarely looked for Song Yu's stubble, and the old house was so quiet as if there was no one.
I don't know why, Song Yu always has a feeling that the wind and rain are coming.
After taking a lunch break at noon, when he returned to the room, Tang Xu was already staying inside. He didn't sleep, he just sat on the couch.
The room was quiet, and Song Yu gently closed the door. After a little hesitation, he told him what happened in the kitchen in the morning, and said: "The second sister-in-law suddenly asked me to go shopping today, and after I refused, she said that she had never been to our house, and said that she wanted to go over to have a look...... I couldn't refuse, so I said I had time to call her. ”
This seemed to be Tang Xu's expectation, and he was not surprised. took a sip of the tea he had just brewed in front of him, hooked the corners of his lips, and said lazily: "Go home, go to it." ”
Xue Zhaoying clearly has a plan.
But Tang Xu didn't seem to care. Song Yu was a little puzzled in his heart, he still didn't ask what he wanted to ask, nodded and said, "Then I'll call her when I'm free next weekend." ”
The corners of Tang Xu's lips hooked again, and he didn't express any opinions, saying, "You can do it yourself." ”
He looked unfathomable, and it was clear that there was something going on between him and Tang Chengen and his wife. But he refused to tell Song Yu.
Song Yu didn't ask, nodded and said yes.
The two had nothing to say for a while, he flipped through the magazine, but Song Yu had nothing to do. After sitting for a while, she finally asked, "Aren't the eldest brother and sister-in-law here today?"
In the past, Tang Yao and Wen Yi were almost there. Father Tang rarely came back once, and it stands to reason that the two of them should be here today.
Tang Xu didn't keep silent anymore, sighed, and said: "Sister-in-law's father is sick and hospitalized, and sister-in-law and eldest brother are at their house during this time. ”
So that's the case, Song Yu nodded. I wanted to ask if it was serious, but if I asked Tang Xu, he might not be able to answer, so he swallowed the words. I'm going to call Wen Yi later.
There was nothing to do, and the living room was very depressing. Song Yu didn't want to go down, so he stayed in the room with Tang Xu. She dozed off as she sat down, and curled up on the bed with an even breathing sound.
Tang Xu, who had been flipping through the magazine, glanced at the bed, stood up and stood on the edge of the bed, took out a cigarette and smoked it.
When Father Tang came back from outside, it was already evening, and the kitchen was busy. He didn't wait to eat, and after drinking a cup of tea in the living room, he said lightly to Tang Xu: "Come with me." ”
As he spoke, he got up and went to his study.
The corners of Tang Xu's mouth hooked imperceptibly, with a little bit of sarcasm. He quickly got up and followed him to the study.
As they left, the living room was much quieter. Tang Mu and Tang Chengen would glance in the direction of the study from time to time. Tang's mother was a little impetuous, while Tang Chengen was much calmer, as if she knew what would happen in the study.
In such a weird atmosphere, even the aunt who was busy in the kitchen unconsciously relaxed her hands and feet.
Father Tang and Tang Xu didn't know what they said in the study, and the dinner was not on the table for a long time. Tang's father has been accumulating power for a long time, and no one dares to knock on the door of the study.
Mother Tang's hand squeezed the Buddha beads in her hand tightly, glanced at Song Yu, and suddenly said lightly: "Go and send two cups of tea to Ah Xu." ”
As soon as she said this, Tang Chengen turned his head sideways and glanced at Song Yu.
Song Yu didn't have any reaction, and answered yes and went to pour tea.
Everyone knew that knocking on the door at this time would not be a good fruit, and the aunt's face showed some sympathy.
Song Yu didn't seem to notice it, and quickly brought tea and knocked on the door of the study.
Before his hand touched the door, there was a muffled sound inside.
The door to the study is so soundproofed that you can't hear anything other than a loud sound. Song Yu knew that there must be a dispute inside, so he didn't hesitate, reached out and knocked on the door.
There was no sound in the room, and it took a minute or two for the door to open from the inside. It was Tang Xu who came to open the door, he looked a little embarrassed, with tea splashed on his body, and half of his face was slightly swollen, and he knew at a glance that Tang's father had made a move.
Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned at this moment. Father Tang had already walked out of the study, he couldn't see anything on his face, and Song Yu was still kind, and said calmly: "Let Auntie come over and clean up the study." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked straight away.
The back of Tang Xu's hand was scratched by the smashed porcelain piece, and he was bleeding outside. Song Yu originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to find a medicine box, but before the words could be spoken, Tang Xu raised his chin and said, "Didn't you hear that you asked your aunt to clean up?"
He didn't care about Song Yu when he said it, and left directly.
Song Yu hurriedly brought the tea back and asked his aunt to clean it.
The aunt was not surprised at all, and soon went into the study to clean.
The Tang family was a little weird, and everyone was already sitting at the table when Song Yu went over. Tang Xu didn't bandage it, nor did he clean it up, so he sat so big.
Father Tang is still the same as before, and he can't see that he was angry just now.
This meal was the same as before, but because of the depressing atmosphere, no one could eat well except for Tang Chengen's good appetite.
Song Yu thought he was going to stay here for one night, but he didn't, and after eating, Tang Xu left with the car keys without even saying hello.
Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was not in a good mood. I smoked all the way and didn't say a word.
When he returned home, Song Yu went to find the medicine box and came out. Disinfect his wound that had been cut by the porcelain shard.
Tang Xu didn't react, closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa to let her play with it.
The wound was small, but it was deep. It looks like flesh and blood. Song Yu has never done such a thing, and his attack is a little light and heavy. I thought that Tang Xu would cry out for pain, but he didn't, he didn't even frown from beginning to end, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he closed his eyes.
Song Yu's movements were slow, and it took more than ten minutes for the wound to be cleaned. The opening was not large, and instead of using gauze, she took three band-aids and put them on.
It looked weird this way, but it would be even weirder if she was saved with gauze.
Tang Xu didn't open his eyes until she got it right, and he didn't open his eyes. Song Yu didn't rush to pack up the medicine box, but went to the refrigerator to get an ice pack and handed it to him, motioning for him to apply it to his face.
If his face is not enough, tomorrow will definitely be unacceptable.
Tang Xu himself obviously realized it, didn't speak, and took the ice pack and put it on his face. Then continue to close your eyes and fake sleep.
Song Yu didn't speak, and he didn't ask anything. After packing up the medicine box, I went to the kitchen. I'm going to make something to eat.
Although Tang Xu was very sloppy at the table, he didn't eat much. In that atmosphere, she tasted like chewing wax, and naturally she couldn't eat much.
Fortunately, she had just purchased it, and the fridge was still full. She took out the ingredients and began to make them.
Braised rice, simple three dishes and one soup. When he went out, Tang Xu didn't pretend to sleep anymore, but sat up, didn't know when he opened the red wine, and was drinking.
Song Yu put the rice on the table, and then said, "Let's eat." ”
Tang Xu didn't move, and walked over with a wine glass after a while.
He didn't eat much, and spent most of his time drinking. There was some anger in his eyes, but he was forced to suppress it.
Song Yu originally thought that he would drink this wine for a long time. But it didn't. By the time she had finished eating, she had put away the dishes and chopsticks, and he had already thrown the wine glass aside. The corners of his lips hooked, glanced at Song Yu, and asked, "Nothing you want to ask?"
He thought that Song Yu would ask when he came back, but he didn't expect her to be quite bearable. I didn't even ask a word.
Unexpectedly, he would suddenly say such a sentence, Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
Tang Xu seemed to have lost interest suddenly, and without waiting for Song Yu to say anything, he got up and went to the bedroom.
Song Yu couldn't fall asleep this night, silently thinking about what happened in the Tang family's old house. Although she didn't know what was going on between Tang Xu and Tang Chengen, she could guess that Tang Chengen probably couldn't please Tang Cheng under Tang Xu's hands, otherwise Tang's father would not have come forward.
None of these things were actually beyond her control, and she quickly suppressed them and forced herself to close her eyes.
The next day was Sunday, and she had to wake up later than usual. originally thought that Tang Xu was still asleep, but who knew that when he went out, he saw him standing on the balcony and making a phone call.
I don't know if it's a business or a private matter, his face is gloomy. Song Yu didn't say a word, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast lightly.
It's always been a milk bread sandwich, and now she's not in a hurry, so she'll make porridge. And began to mix noodles, planning to roll out the dumpling wrappers later and try to make dumplings.
Although Tang Xu's face had been covered with ice last night, there were still red marks on his face. Probably because of this, he didn't go out for a day today, and he stayed at home.
He rarely spends his time at home so idle, and he's mostly bored. After Song Yu finished wrapping the strange-shaped dumplings, he took out the chessboard and said lazily: "Come and play chess." ”
In the past, when Song Zhiyuan was there, whenever he was idle at home, Song Yu would play a few games with him. It's been a long time since I've touched it. Seeing Tang Xu take out the chessboard, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Tang Xu didn't notice that something was wrong with her, and took out the chess pieces.
Song Yu stood in place for a while, walked over, and sat down across from him.
Song Yu's chess skills are not very good, but they are not bad either. Tang Xu had the mentality of having a game at first, and after half of it, he cheered up, glanced at Song Yu with a smile, and said, "I can't see it, Mrs. Tang is not a stinky chess basket." ”
Song Yu didn't say a word, staring at the chessboard with a pair of dark and clear eyes.
I don't know if Tang Xu deliberately gave in or what, the two played this game of chess for an hour, and Song Yu didn't even know when it was raining outside.
Tang Xu was bored, and after a game of chess, he immediately started again.
Song Yu remembered that Xue Zhaoying was coming over, thought about it for a while, and still asked, "What happened yesterday?"
She shouldn't have asked about these things, but Xue Zhaoying wanted to come over, and it was not good. She had to know something more or less. She didn't want to get Tang Xu into trouble.
Tang Xu glanced up at her, and said with a smile: "I thought Mrs. Tang didn't have curiosity about this thing." ”
Song Yu originally wanted to say that he was not curious, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back and didn't say a word.
Tang Xu didn't remain silent any longer, paused slightly, and said casually: "The second child has suffered a big loss, so make up for it from me." ”
Although he said it lightly, Song Yu knew that this matter should be related to him. Otherwise, Father Tang would not have lost his temper so much.
She didn't say anything, and only asked after a while, "What do you want to do when the second sister-in-law comes here?"
Xue Zhaoying wants to come over, so naturally it won't be true that she just came over to take a look. It must have a purpose.
Tang Xu glanced at Song Yu with a smile and said, "Do you think I look like a fortune teller? ”
His tone was very casual, and he didn't know if he didn't take Xue Zhaoying to heart or Tang Chengen.
Song Yu nodded and didn't speak again.
The living room was quiet again, save for the crisp sound of chess pieces falling. After a while, Tang Xu suddenly opened his mouth again, and said lightly: "Don't tell your sister-in-law about yesterday." ”
Xue Zhaoying knows, which means that Tang Yao knows.
