Chapter 124: The First Confrontation

Zhang Xing looked at the back of Zhang Tao who turned to leave in surprise.

If the years are really ruthless, but after four or five years, many people will never be the same. In the past, Zhang Tao didn't say that she was obedient to her, but at least she would listen to her finish speaking. Turning around and leaving like this today was really unexpected for her again.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't have bothered. But Zhang Tao is her sister, and she hopes that she will live well in the future, so in this matter, she can't let her go on like this.

In this world, etiquette and filial piety are the first good, and if they want to live well, they have to obey this worldly ceremony. is not convinced, and he has to look bowed down on his face.

Although Ye Hexiang is not good, she should not be blamed in public by being a daughter.

"Peach. Zhang Xing took a few steps, took Zhang Tao's hand, and pulled her over.

Zhang Tao had tears on her face, lowering her eyes and not looking at her, especially in her stubbornness.

"Peach. Zhang Xing said softly, "Sister Zhilu said that you are sad in your heart, whoever puts such a mother on the stall will have hatred in your heart." But no matter how uncomfortable you are, you shouldn't embarrass her in person. If you fall on her face, will your face look good? No matter what, she is your mother, and others see us as a family. ”

Although Zhang Tao didn't speak, he stubbornly pinned his head to the side.

Zhang Xing wiped away her tears for Zhang Tao and coaxed and persuaded: "Okay, don't shed tears." You have suffered, and my sister knows it in her heart. It's just you making such a fuss, it's really a joke for others to see. ”

Zhang Xing pulled Zhang Tao to persuade for a long time, and then Zhang Tao opened his mouth. I told her about her for a long time. Zhang Xing listened carefully and persuaded them one by one. Zhang Tao finally nodded and promised not to argue with Ye Hexiang again.

Zhang Xing accepted it when he saw it. Immediately move on to another topic. Zhang Tao took out a bag of things from his arms and gave it to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing opened. I saw that it was a few hairpin rings commonly used in my daughter's house, and all of them were good.

Zhang Xing asked to see Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao picked up a gold-inlaid jade hairpin and inserted it into Zhang Xing's head. said: "Sister, these are all awarded to me by the old lady before." ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly took it off and wrapped it up, "You keep it for yourself." ”

Zhang Tao smiled and said, "I'm still useful, these are the ones I specially picked out for my sister." As he spoke, he inserted it into Zhang Xing's head again, "Sister, you look so good wearing it." ”

Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao, "Really give it to me?"

Zhang Tao nodded.

Zhang Xing thought of something else in her heart. Really wrapped up and carried into his arms. On the other hand, he asked: "Tao'er, is your deed of sale in the Chengde Marquis Mansion, or in the Huaiyang Palace?" If you want to find a way out for Zhang Tao, then these things she gave will always be used.

Zhang Tao was stunned. Zhang Xing chuckled in her heart, "When you said that you wanted to be an envoy to the old lady of the Chengde Hou Mansion, you didn't sign the deed of sale?"

Zhang Tao thought about it carefully, "I signed it, and then the old lady gave it to me before she passed away." I gave it to the eldest lady. ”

"Then did you sign a death contract?" Zhang Xing asked again.

Zhang Tao laughed, and affectionately took Zhang Xing's hand and arm, "Sister, why are you asking this? Do you want to redeem me? I have to figure it out, and the eldest lady will definitely return the deed of sale to me. ”

Zhang Xinghu looked at Zhang Tao suspiciously. Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about me. I'm really nice with the eldest lady. ”

Zhang Xing saw Zhang Tao like this, and her heart became more and more worried. He hesitated and said, "What if the eldest lady gets married?

Zhang Tao thought about it and nodded. Say, "yes, where else would I go?"

Zhang Xing almost said the words to let her follow her - she is not married yet, and with Ye Hexiang, Zhang Tao will never be with her. So these words only swirled in her heart, but she still didn't speak, but changed her mind and asked, "Is your eldest lady married?"

Zhang Tao nodded, "I have already set the second son of the Marquis of Liaoyuan's Zhongyong Mansion, and the wedding date is next year." ”

"Liaoyuan, isn't that the northwest side?" Zhang Xing said in surprise, "You have to go with such a far place?"

Zhang Tao still nodded, "I'm going, it's bitter cold in the northwest, I'm afraid few people are willing to go, and I'm going to go." ”

Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao and said with a smile: "If you go, it will not be easy for our sisters to meet again in the future." ”

Zhang Tao was stunned, and Baba looked at Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing took the opportunity to persuade her to stay. Zhang Tao was extremely stubborn, and he still shook his head. Zhang Xing sighed in her heart. It seems that the old lady of the Chengde Hou Mansion and the eldest lady of the Huaiyang Mansion have been deeply rooted in her heart. There was really no way to convince her for a while.

The two sisters talked about it for a while, Zhang Tao's previous unhappiness in her heart had gone for most of it, it was getting late, Zhang Tao didn't want to see Ye Hexiang, she wanted to go back, Zhang Xing was also worried that Uncle Ye couldn't persuade Ye Hexiang. Zhang Tao begged Zhang Xing to come here again tomorrow to meet, and Zhang Xing agreed. Zhang Tao just left.

When Zhang Xing went back, Ye Hexiang was still pulling Uncle Ye to complain, she saw Zhang Xing, and hurriedly stretched her neck to look outside, and then pulled Zhang Xing and asked, "Where is your sister?"

Zhang Xing said weakly: "She has returned to the palace." ”

Ye Hexiang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Why did you just let her go back like this? Ah, she entered the palace, can we still find her people?

Zhang Xing looked at Ye Hexiang coldly, and felt weak for a while, "Mother, what do you want to do? Just because you treated her like you did when you were a child, do you still expect her to be good to you and provide for you in old age?"

Ye Hexiang was stunned again, waved her hand and shouted: "Why can't I count on it? She crawled out of my belly, does she dare to treat me well? If she dares to do this, I will go to the yamen to sue her!"

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "Mother, if you think you can sue the Huaiyang Palace, you just have to sue, but before that, you should prepare a coffin for yourself first." ”

After Ye Hexiang listened to Zhang Xing's words, she was about to scold. It was Uncle Ye who grabbed her and persuaded: "Hexiang, don't mess around, the state of this Huaiyang Palace's palace is not so easy to tell! Don't be tired, the big guys will follow them to the prison." ”

Zhang Xing put the gold-inlaid hosta she had taken out in advance on the table, "Mother, this is what Zhang Tao gave me." Anyway, I can't use these, so you can use them. When she had finished speaking, she went into her room.

Ye Hexiang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly picked up the hairpin on the table and looked at it carefully. Uncle Ye was still persuading in a low voice: "Hexiang, don't make too much trouble with the child, now that she is still young, slowly persuade her, your mother and daughter will always have a day of reconciliation." Besides, don't you two have an apricot to build a bridge?"

Ye Hexiang listened to Uncle Ye while looking at the hairpin in his hand, and his heart quickly reversed. is also a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, this one in her hand is much better than Ye Yunqing's mother-in-law's head, and it must be worth a lot of money. With this hairpin, they didn't come to Huaiyang in vain.

As soon as that girl made a move, she gave her sister such a good thing, and there must be something better in her hand. Their uncle's words are right, they can't make too much trouble with that girl, this Huaiyang Mansion can't be provoked, so you have to take your time. That girl doesn't recognize her as a mother, but she can recognize her sister, as long as she is willing to give the eldest girl good things, that thing will not come to her hands.

- Big girl, that's a mallet, not to mention tossing good things like gold and silver jewelry, even wearing a refreshing point is like killing her.

The good things that come to her hands are not transferred to her own hands.

Ye Hexiang figured it out, so she didn't get angry, she put the hairpin in her arms and talked to Uncle Ye about visiting Huaiyang.

Huaiyang Palace, Qiuhua Courtyard

Narcissus lightly cut the wick, and after the light and darkness flickered, the book in Gu Xiruo's hand turned a page. Narcissus heard the sound of the pages turning, and immediately retracted.

Gu Xiruo asked lightly, "How is Little Pepper?"

Narcissus stopped and turned around. Gu Xiruo was still idle and crooked, the hand that fell on the thin blue brocade was as clean and warm as white jade, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see the slightest turmoil in the bright eyes of the autumn water.

Narcissus took a few steps forward very cautiously and replied in a low voice: "I'm still crying in the room, it's useless to eat dinner." ”

"Let Yulan talk to Steward Liu in the kitchen, cook a few more dishes with a slightly heavier taste, add a clear soup, and send it to the small pepper room. ”

Narcissus answered, and went out to spread the word to Bai Yu, who was waiting at the door. She turned back into the room, and Gu Xiruo had already put down the book and looked out in fascination. Narcissus was about to fetch water to wash Gu Xiruo's face, when she heard Gu Xiruo say again: "Sister Little Pepper, have you seen it today?"

"See. Narcissus remembered the girl who drank everyone in the Yunlai Inn, "It's rare to say, although the sister of Little Pepper grew up in a small place, she doesn't have a trace of a little family around her, and although she is not dressed properly, she looks not bad." ”

Gu Xiruo turned her head, "Since she is Little Pepper's sister, she will not be born badly." ”

"That's what Miss said. Narcissus smiled and said, "If it weren't for her, Pepper and her mother would have to make trouble." ”

"Little Pepper's sister should be fourteen or fifteen years old, right, I heard that she hasn't decided to marry yet?" Gu Xiruo asked again.

Narcissus was a little apprehensive in her heart, the eldest lady was several years older than Sister Little Pepper, and this family affair was still a little suspenseful. "Steward Hu inquired, it turned out that there was a decision, but I don't know why it didn't take long to retreat, and now I really haven't said goodbye. ”

Gu Xiruo didn't see the slightest indignation on his face, and said with a light smile: "I remember that the second son of the Hu Steward family hasn't said goodbye yet, and he is eighteen or nineteen years old this year." ”

"Miss remembers it accurately, the two sons of the Hu steward family have indeed not said kiss yet. Narcissus replied.

"You tell his mother-in-law to come over tomorrow. Gu Xiruo smiled and said, "If she asks you to find out, you can reveal it to her, and say that I want to tell her second son about family affairs." ”

Narcissus should do this, and he will serve Gu Xi if he fetches water and washes his hands and rests. After the work was over, Xia Lian, who was on duty at night, came. Narcissus came to their hospital, the light in the pepper room was still off, the window was ajar, and she looked through the crack. Pepper stopped crying, and was sitting at the table looking at her private treasures one by one. (To be continued......)
