Chapter 121: Sister 2
Wei Minwen looked at the two people who were hugging their heads and crying, and couldn't help touching their heads. Although he didn't know Zhang Tao yet, the two sisters looked a little similar, especially the eyes of the two, which were almost identical.
He also knew that Zhang Xing had a younger sister, and he vaguely guessed Zhang Tao's identity in his heart.
Zhang Xing stopped crying first, took Zhang Tao's hand, and said to Wei Minwen: "Big brother, this is my sister Zhang Tao. ”
Wei Minwen grinned and nodded. However, Zhang Tao was a little cold, glanced at Wei Minwen, didn't smile, and pulled Zhang Xing's face and said affectionately: "Sister, let's go over there and talk." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Xing sighed in her heart. Since Zhang Tao can find the Fu family's rice shop, she must have a clear understanding of the Wei family's situation, and she is really as she thought before, she is very fond of Ye Hexiang mustard, and she also dislikes the people of the Wei family.
Zhang Xing looked at Wei Minwen apologetically. Wei Minwen didn't wait for her to speak, so he nodded again and again, and said, "Xing'er, go talk to you, I'll go back and talk to my uncle and aunt first." ”
Wei Minwen is gone. Zhang Tao burst into tears and smiled, took Zhang Xing's hand, pointed to the Juyuan Pavilion Restaurant not far away, and said, "Sister, let's go, let's go over there and talk." ”
Zhang Xing was brought into the Juyuan Pavilion Restaurant by Zhang Tao, and Xiao Erfei of the restaurant also came over to greet her. Zhang Tao opened his mouth and asked, "There is no private room upstairs?"
Xiao Er's face turned into a flower, and he led Zhang Xingzhang Tao to a private room at the end of the south side, and pointed to the window and said: "Two girls, this is the best private room in our restaurant, it is clean, and you can see the scenery below when you open the window." ”
Zhang Xing followed Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to Juyuan Pavilion a few times, and he had sold small pot boys here before, so he was familiar with this place. Listen to Xiao Er's boasting. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay." We all know the way, let's put on a pot of good tea. ”
Xiao Er was about to leave. Zhang Tao stopped him again, asked about the signature dishes of Juyuan Pavilion, and ordered seven or eight dishes in a row.
Zhang Xing was heartbroken, the two of them couldn't eat these dishes, but thinking of the first time she and Zhang Tao had seen each other after a long absence, Zhang Taoxing's head was extremely high, so it was not easy to interrupt, so she only smiled and listened and watched.
Xiao Er took the menu and smiled. Zhang Tao turned around and looked at Zhang Xing's smiling face. The circles under his eyes were hot again, and he moved himself down on the stool closer, next to Zhang Xing, holding her hand, and shouting, "Sister......"
Zhang Xing was also very sentimental in her heart, but she had always been able to hide it, and she couldn't see anything on her face. wiped the tears on Zhang Tao's face, smiled and said, "They are all big girls, why are they still the same as when they were children." I cry my nose at every turn, and I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. ”
Zhang Tao squirmed next to Zhang Xing for a while, "I'm not afraid of other people's jokes, and besides, there are no outsiders here." Just my sister is there. She grabbed Zhang Xing's hand and didn't let go, looked up and down, choked up and asked, "Sister." How did you get back?
Zhang Xing felt a pain in her heart and lowered her eyes. said, "Your stone brother, he's gone." ”
Zhang Tao was stunned. Then he pulled Zhang Xing and cried again.
Zhang Xing's heart ached, she hid that memory very deeply, and she didn't pick it up easily. Now that Zhang Tao is crying, she is also crying.
"Brother Stone, how did Brother Stone go?" Zhang Tao asked with a sob, "Did you really encounter a mudslide?"
Zhang Xing was an extremely cautious person, and after listening to Zhang Tao's words in her grief, she chuckled in her heart, looked at Zhang Tao's eyes, and asked, "...... When you encounter a mudslide, how do you know about it?"
Zhang Tao wiped her tears and said, "It was the old lady of the Chengde Hou Mansion who helped me inquire." ”
"Chengde Hou Mansion?" Zhang Xing was sure that this was the first time he had heard this address.
Zhang Tao told her what she had done.
Zhang Xing heard that Zhang Tao fell into the water and escaped to find someone around, tears couldn't help but flow, touching Zhang Tao's head, "Silly girl, why are you stupid?" She was seven or eight years old at the time, she knew water since she was a child, she escaped by luck, and she didn't want to go home, but she wanted to come to Huaiyang to find her, although she said it easily in this process, but there must be countless hardships and dangers in it.
It can also be seen from this that Ye Hexiang, a mother, has hurt her child so much that she is not willing to go home for help when she reaches such a situation.
"Sister, what about you, how did you come back?" Zhang Tao took Zhang Xing's hand and asked.
Zhang Xing wiped her tears while weighing Zhang Tao's words in her heart.
Her experience was strange and dangerous, and if it was leaked, it would be a disaster. Thousands of swords and soldiers are hidden in the deep mountains, and there is no flag to sign, and the actions are strange.
Although she didn't know about the imperial army here, she also knew that it was not the border between the two countries, and since there was no military disaster, why did the team have to hide their whereabouts?
Therefore, she estimated that it was not the regular army of the imperial court, but a strong force hidden by a suspicious man who wanted to dominate the world.
Before it happens, how can they show their form first?
She carries this secret, that is, she carries a god of death who is still asleep, and if she is not careful, she will suffer a terrible disaster.
She didn't know why the old lady of the Chengde Hou Mansion said that she died in the mudslide with the stone, in order to make Zhang Tao die, or was she also one of them?
- Zhang Xing couldn't help but shudder.
The less Zhang Tao and the others know about the Tao, the greater the chance of surviving in the future.
Zhang Xing settled down, his face was not revealing at all, and said: "When I was taken to the northwest with your brother Shishi, I encountered a mudslide, and he ...... In order to save me, I was buried underneath. I crawled out and went home. I didn't have a penny on me, I was delayed on the road, and when I got home, my father had already gone, and you ...... It's not at home anymore. ”
"Didn't I get more than two taels of silver for selling my body? Why didn't she give my father medical treatment?" Zhang Tao cried out.
"Two taels of silver, it's not enough to pay off the family's debts, besides, our father, it's been delayed for too long......" Zhang Xing pulled Zhang Tao to argue for Ye Hexiang.
This is also the truth, Zhang Xing found Lang Zhong at that time, Zhang Shuisheng was indeed terminally ill and weak. Ye Hexiang has never been an impatient person, Zhang Shuisheng's two daughters were sold together, he already had a stomach full of complaints about Ye Hexiang in his heart, how could the two of them get along well in this realm? Zhang Shuisheng's desolate and hasty departure was also expected.
Zhang Tao shook his head with tears and said, "Sister, don't believe her words. She must have used the money I sold to buy good food and clothing, and my father was angry with her. Sister, you didn't go home with us, you don't know what to do. After I returned home with my father, she quarreled with my father every day, and when she quarreled, she slammed the door and went out, and she didn't return home for several days. There was nothing at home, and my father couldn't hold up the boat, so he carried cargo bags on the dock and worked part-time jobs, and this is how my father fell ill. Daddy was sick, she also said cool things, saying that Daddy was pretending, and Daddy was so angry that he vomited blood. Sister, Daddy was angry with her, don't believe her words. ”
Seeing that Zhang Tao was emotional, Zhang Xing sighed again in her heart, touched Zhang Tao's hand and comforted her: "Tao'er, I know what kind of person she is, but she is our mother in the end, no matter how bad she is, this blood relationship cannot be broken." ”
In fact, after she returned home, Ye Hexiang didn't know whether it was a loss or something else, and she never told her about Zhang Shuisheng's death.
Zhang Tao glanced at Zhang Xing in a daze, and subconsciously withdrew her hand, and when she noticed that Zhang Xing was looking at her hand, she immediately clenched Zhang Xing's hand, "Sister, Daddy was angry with her." ”
Zhang Xing's heart was sour, she had gone through the vicissitudes of the world, and it was not as simple as Zhang Tao. The formation of a tragedy is generally difficult to achieve on its own. Ye Hexiang is certainly wrong, but she has always been such a person, and at that time, Zhang Shuisheng was also full of complaints. His body was not good in the first place, and the superposition of various factors led to the development of things.
But these are indescribable to Zhang Tao at the moment, she is full of anger, and she is too young to hear it for a while.
Zhang Xing only comforted Zhang Tao and said, "I know the Tao." ”
Zhang Tao's face was gloomy, and she said: "She was angry with her father and remarried." Sister, I never want to see her. ”
Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao and felt that this topic could not be continued. It happened that Xiao Er sent vegetables in, a total of eight dishes, Zhang Taoquan asked Xiao Er to put them in front of her, and the mushroom pot boy was also among them.
It was the first time that Zhang Taoxu saw such a dish served with a pot, so he hurriedly sandwiched the dishes inside and piled them into Zhang Xing's bowl, and urged: "Sister, eat quickly." ”
"Sit down and have a taste, too. Zhang Xing said with a smile.
Zhang Tao took a bite and praised repeatedly: "It's delicious." He urged Zhang Xing to eat again.
Zhang Xing felt that the table full of dishes was full when she looked at it, but Zhang Tao still tried to pick up vegetables for her, piling all the brains she thought were delicious into her bowl.
Zhang Xing couldn't eat it, and touched her stomach to stop Zhang Tao, "I really can't eat it." ”
Zhang Tao let her go, and took out a brocade bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhang Xing's hand.
"What is this?" asked Zhang Xing as she opened it.
Zhang Tao only looked at her with a smile.
Zhang Xing opened it, and there were as many as three hundred taels of silver tickets inside, and there were also a few broken silver.
Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao closed Zhang Xing's hand, "Sister, this is what I saved, for you." ”
Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Taoshui's bright and clear eyes, her heart was full of softness, she touched Zhang Tao's head, and said softly: "Sister, life is not bad now, there is no shortage of food and clothing, what do you want silver? You better keep it yourself......
Zhang Tao's eyes turned red, and he pushed things over, "Where are you doing well? Do you think I don't know the way? No, you must take it, you have to keep it." ”
Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao in surprise, and when she looked at her patched cuffs with her red eyes, she couldn't help but smile, stretched out her hand and pulled Zhang Tao into her arms, and whispered, "Silly girl." ”
Zhang Tao burst into tears and laughed again, put the thing in Zhang Xing's hand and closed it, and said: "Sister, you have to put away all this silver when you go back, just buy what you want to eat, remember not to let her know the truth, you must hide it in a place that is not easy to be discovered." ”
Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Okay, sister listens to you." (To be continued......)
