Chapter 223
However, he said that Xiao Tang came to Su Wangfu, and talked to Zhao Shu for a long time, and Zhao Shu gave him a trick, and told him that he could not open it for the time being.
Xiao Tang couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what it is?" ”
Zhao Shu smiled: "It's just a little thought of mine, I really can't survive the destiny when the time comes, my brother will understand when he opens it and looks at it." ”
Xiao Tang pondered for a moment in his heart, and he was not reluctant, so he carefully put the bag in his arms, and finally persuaded him two more seriously, telling Zhao Shu not to always think about the bad in everything.
Zhao Shu also agreed one by one, and said: "Because of my illness, my sister is always sad, and I think about it...... In the past few years, she has not even gone back to the house for me...... Now that the Chinese New Year is over, since my brother is here, it is better to ask her to go back and relax, so as not to guard me and become sad and sick. ”
Xiao Tang hurriedly said: "If Min Li wants to go back, she will go back by herself, she is willing to stay in the house to accompany you, it is her love with you and your husband, why force it." ”
Zhao Shu's eyes were soft, and he said, "I naturally know that she feels sorry for me...... Therefore, I should feel more sorry for her and think about her......" When he said this, he smiled softly again.
Xiao Tang saw that Zhao Shu's face was slightly tired, so he said: "In that case, I'll go out and talk to Minli, just see what she means." You should rest well, but your body is like this, but you should rest and recuperate, and don't bother to work anymore. ”
Zhao Shu nodded: "Thank you, brother......"
Xiao Tang said goodbye to Zhao Shu and went outside, but saw Minli leaning on the couch, stunned.
When Min Li saw him come out, she hurriedly got up and stepped forward, saying, "Brother......"
Xiao Tang had mixed feelings in his heart, seeing that Minli's eyes were still red, and his face was difficult to hide, Xiao Tang wanted to speak and stopped, only comforted and said: "Don't be too sad, if he sees you like this, his heart will definitely become more and more uneasy...... Although his health is not good, it is not immediately healed, there are always repetitions, you don't have to be open, and you can just calm down. ”
Min Li glanced at the middle of the room, held Xiao Tang's hand, pulled him out two steps, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, tell me the truth, what did he call you in for?" ”
Where could Xiao Tang say anything else, he only said: "There is nothing else, it's just that the son of the world is a little reluctant to go because of his own illness, so he ...... Tell me to take you back to your house for two days. ”
Min Li was stunned, shook her head and said, "Brother, I won't go back." ”
Xiao Tang also knew her thoughts, and he didn't really plan to ask her to go back, but just took it out to prevaricate other internal information. Hearing this, Xiao Tang said: "I also understand that you are guarding the world with peace of mind, perhaps because of the change of time, so you have made the illness worse, but with you by his side, he can think about it in his heart, and the situation will be better." ”
When Min Li heard this, she felt a little relieved, so she said, "I listen to my brother's ...... My brother went back and told my mother that I couldn't leave for a while, so I couldn't go back......"
Xiao Tang said: "Mother also knows in her heart, you don't have to worry about this, not to mention that now that you have Huaizhen, you are not as lonely as before." ”
Min Li was also relieved and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost forgot, is it really good?" ”
Xiao Tang also smiled: "She's okay...... It's just that I think about you every time, and another day, I have to ask her to come over to accompany you. ”
Although Min Li also thinks about Huaizhen in her heart, she also knows the current situation...... Because said, "It's still not necessary...... I also know that my brother can't live without her. ”
When Xiao Tang heard this, he also laughed and said, "This girl, she laughed at me again." ”
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Tang saw that although Minli was smiling, there was still sentimentality in his eyes, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more on his face, so he stretched out his hand, hugged Minli gently in his arms, and said, "Good sister, you have suffered." ”
Xiao Tang's voice was whispered in Minli's ear.
Min Li heard it clearly, and suddenly the tears in her eyes welled up again, and she hurriedly held back, leaned on Xiao Tang's shoulder, and said, "Brother, don't say this...... This is what I am willing to do, and meeting him is the blessing I have cultivated in this life. ”
In a short sentence, he said it a hundred times and a thousand times, tears were like rain, and he was afraid that Xiao Tang would be worried, so he hurriedly wiped it away.
How did Don Jr. not know? But he only pretended not to know, and only let go of Minli after a while, and gently instructed: "When the prince is better, let's go back to the house together, let's sit together as a family, and have a good day." ”
Min Li also collected her sadness, and said with a smile: "Got it." I'm looking forward to that day. ”
The two siblings talked for a while, and Xiao Tang was about to leave, and Minli told again: "The incident last time was too dangerous, and my brother should pay more attention when he goes in and out in the future. ”
Xiao Tang said: "It's okay, they didn't come for me, and I will pay more attention in the future." After the two of them said goodbye, Xiao Tang said goodbye to Minli and got into the car out of the Su Palace.
At this time, the sun and shadow were slanting westward, and Xiao Tang knew that Huai Zhen would also return home, so he didn't go to Tang Yong's side, and went straight home.
Sure enough, Huai Zhen came back early, and was waiting for his news, when he saw that Xiao Tang was back, he hurriedly greeted him, and asked first: "Why did you run out without making a noise before, and you are okay?" ”
When Xiao Tang saw her ask herself first, his heart warmed, so he held his hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
Huaizhen said: "King Su's Mansion sent someone to ask you to come to the house immediately, because of the urgency...... I thought to myself that it was probably the son of the world, and I didn't dare to delay. But it just so happened that you weren't on the second brother's side, so I guessed that you must have been worried about Prince Xi and secretly went to King Xi's mansion, - did they find you? ”
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "What I met on the way back, you guessed right, and it is also the matter of the son." ”
Huaizhen frowned, and his eyes also showed worry, and asked, "Shizi...... What's going on? ”
Xiao Tang didn't want to hide it from her, so he sighed, and when Huaizhen saw this, his heart sank.
Xiao Tang thought for a while, then lowered his voice slightly, and said: "The situation of the prince is not very good, I am afraid of ......"
Although Huaizhen and Zhao Shu don't get along much, every time they meet, Zhao Shu gives people a sense of gentleness like a spring breeze, and Minli is very kind to him, they are really an impeccable couple, but now they are like this...... Huaizhen was silent.
Xiao Tang knew that she would be sad, so he persuaded: "Don't take it to heart, although you are not like the son of the world, but your body is also delicate and weak, adding more sadness is not good for yourself, you have the kung fu to be sad for him, and take good care of yourself, I don't have to worry about you." ”
Huai Zhen listened to Xiao Tang say this, so he suppressed his worries and said with a smile: "I've been a lot better recently, where do you worry?" ”
Xiao Tang hugged it, lowered his head and kissed it gently on his sideburns, and said, "How do you know what is in my heart?" I just don't dare to mention it to you. ”
When Huaizhen heard this, there seemed to be a reason, so he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What's in your heart?" ”
Xiao Tang lowered his eyes, looked at each other, and after a while, he said, "At first, when we got married, I will talk to you...... Because of your weakness, I dare not call you ......."
When Huaizhen heard this, he immediately understood, so he lowered his head and said for a while: "I wanted to tell you a ...... before."
Xiao Tang was surprised and asked, "You tell me this?" ”
Huaizhen's voice was like a mosquito, and his heart was beating very fast, because he pushed Xiao Tang away, turned around and walked two steps, thinking only in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak lightly.
Xiao Tang walked over and asked softly, "What are you going to tell me?" ”
Huai Zhen took a breath secretly, and finally whispered: "Before, I saw what Mrs. meant, although I didn't show it very much, but I was looking forward to it...... Recently, Princess Bixi has added a little princess, and Sister Yu has a puppy baby at home, and even Sister Ronglan is ......"
Xiao Tang was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "It turns out that even the big ingots are there?" ”
Huai Zhen saw what he said recklessly, so he also smiled, and then lowered his head again and said: "I went home the day before yesterday, and my mother also asked...... "Half sad and half happy, sighed faintly.
Xiao Tang saw that her face was mixed, and after talking for a long time, Xiao Tang folded his shoulders and asked softly, "What are you thinking in your heart?" ”
Huaizhen bowed his head, twisted his handkerchief and said, "I don't know reads();." ”
Xiao Tang couldn't help but kiss him lightly on the cheek again, and said, "How can you say that you don't know?" Do you also want a little Huaizhen? ”
Huai Zhen itched and shrunk his neck, because he turned his head to look at him, smiled and said, "How do you say that?" Why don't you say that you want a little ......" was shy in the end, his face turned red, and he immediately stopped talking and lowered his head.
Xiao Tang saw that her cheeks were red, so he said softly: "For me, as long as it is true with Huai...... Whether it's Xiao Huaizhen or Xiao Yi'er...... I like it all, but I don't know when I can have it? ”
After saying this, Huai Zhen's head shook, and there was a little joy rippling slightly, but he was too ashamed to speak, so he blushed, only snorted deliberately, and said: "Uncle Tang has always been smarter, and he is more knowledgeable than me, how can you ask me?" ”
Xiao Tang knew her temperament, and when he heard this sentence at the moment, he was already like "En's permission", and when he squeezed her into his arms, he said, "That being the case...... After that, the medicine will not be needed. ”
Huaizhen didn't speak, just hung his head.
Xiao Tang saw that her face was flushed, and even her earlobes to her neck were moist and pink-red...... He didn't know why he had long liked it in his heart, so he leaned over and kissed him gently.
On this day, Huaizhen messed with the incense in the house, and when he saw Jixiang coming in to add tea, Huaizhen remembered Xiao Tang's words and called Jixiang to stop.
Ji Xiang didn't know yet, so he smiled and asked, "What does the girl want to order?" ”
Before Huai Zhen could speak, he smiled first and whispered, "It's a good thing." Because she had never said such things to anyone, she was still a little uncomfortable.
Jixiang is used to serving her, and he understands her temper, and when he sees this, he understands three points, and he is a little uncomfortable for a while, so he lowered his head and asked, "What's the good thing?" ”
Huaizhen coughed, considered his words, and said a little about the marriage.
Ji Xiang blushed and was silent for a long time.
Huai Zhen saw that she was also shy, so he couldn't help but say softly: "The people of the Tang Mansion are capable, and they won't provoke bad insults to my sister...... But if you don't like it, find something else. ”
Jixiang hung his head for a long time, and Huaizhen saw that she was always silent, worried that she wouldn't like it, so he asked, "What's wrong?" How to always not talk? ”
Ji Xiang raised his head, looked at Huai Zhen and asked, "But because of my mouthy the day before yesterday, did you want to send me away?" ”
Huai Zhen said: "What do you say?" ”
Ji Xiang looked at Huaizhen's eyes, a little aggrieved, frowned and said: "Why did you never think about this thought, and suddenly mentioned it, it must be the third master's idea, to transfer me away from the girl?" ”
When Huai Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, don't I know that you are for my good?" I haven't said anything about this, how does the third master know? He is just careful, I feel that I shouldn't delay you, you also know that he is a person, and the people who follow him are definitely not far behind, if you are married, you are the housekeeper lady in this family, and you are still with me for a long time, why did you want to transfer away? ”
When Ji Xiang heard this, he was faintly relieved, but said silently: "I don't mean to talk too much, but when I was married before, the second grandmother and the second master told me in every possible way, so that I could take good care of the girl, although I also know that the third master is a great person, but after all, the girl is the master I have seen since I was a child, no matter how good the third master is...... I'm also on the girl's side, girl, don't think I'm troubled and bad-hearted. ”
Huaizhen was moved, so he took Jixiang's hand and said, "My sister has seen me from a small age, what kind of person is it, how can I not know?" Although the third master is sometimes in a hurry...... But after all, it's good for me, you naturally know, now that I have this destination, I can't delay you any longer, if you like it, let's settle this matter, okay? ”
Jixiang's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "After the horizontal vertical, I will still serve the girl." For the rest, let the girl and the third master call the shots for me, where do I dare to have two words. ”
Huaizhen also felt a little sad, but smiled again, and said: "It seems that I am going to sell you......" Jixiang heard this, and then sneered.
After Xiao Tang came back, Huai Zhen told him about the auspicious promise, and told Xiao Tang: "The person Uncle Tang said must be a good one, if it is inappropriate and mistaken auspicious, I only blame you." ”
Xiao Tang smiled: "What I adjusted/taught, it will never be someone who insults you, and she will be created in the future." ”
Huai Zhen didn't understand this very well, but when he saw what Xiao Tang said, he put his mind at ease for the time being.
Another day, Xiao Tang informed Mrs. Tang of the matter, and asked an old lady in the house to lead the auspicious and secretly went to take a look at the little girl......
Huaizhen didn't know how, but after seeing Jixiang come back, her face was just red, and when she asked her, she was also shy, with a faint look of joy in her eyes, Huaizhen knew that Jixiang must be liked, so she became more and more worried.
After a few days, the house simply operated the field, and gave the auspicious promise to the little guy called Tang Sheng, and then Huai Zhen saw that person once on the door, very decent and capable, if you change your clothes, I am afraid that you will think that it is the young master of which family, no wonder Jixiang fell in love at a glance.
Xiao Tang was afraid that Huaizhen would lack the best manpower around him, which would be inconvenient, because he went to Mrs. Pingjing's house in person, probably to tell him about the maid.
In this way, two days after the auspicious marriage, Mrs. Pingjing sent two maids over and put them beside Huaizhen to call, one called Xiaohe, and the other called Yexue, all of which Huaizhen recognized, the most clever and capable maid, Huaizhen also liked it.
At first, Mrs. Tang knew that she came over, and refused to work on her, but later after the New Year, Huaizhen's body was better again, so he let go of everything in the family to her.
Although there is Jixiang Bingju and others to help, but I can't help but be a little stumbling, not to mention that the Tang Mansion is a big family, and there are many ushers in the year, thanks to the fact that she had a close relationship with the Tang Mansion before, and the girls in the house also recognize it...... Everyone knew that Huaizhen was a person, so they didn't dare to be embarrassed, and they helped her in everything to support her.
But no matter what, in the end, it is bothering, Huaizhen can only cheer up, little by little, although she is smart, but after all, her body is weak, and it is difficult to work hard...... Now there are more Xiaohe and Yexue, both of whom are capable and shrewd, although they were not in this mansion before, but vaguely, they also know a lot of things in the mansion, and it is naturally easy to take over, for Huaizhen, it is suddenly like a left arm and right arm, which makes her shoulders suddenly a lot lighter.
Seeing that it was the thirteenth day of the first month, it was the day when the concubine should be smoked, Huaizhen was married, so she didn't have to go back, although she was worried about the smoke in her heart, and wanted to see her, but she thought of the many people in the Ying Mansion, not to mention what a big deal it was for the concubine to save her relatives, and she wanted to entertain those relatives who were afraid that they would have to work for a while, why did she rush to stab others at this moment? Therefore, Huaizhen never returned home.
After the tobacco province should be contained, it will soon be the Lantern Festival, and the Tang Mansion is even more colorful, and there is a lively atmosphere reads();.
On the fifteenth day, everyone was reunited in the Tang family's mansion, that is, the room of Tang Jian, the Marquis of Zhenhai, the eldest brother of the Tang family.
Tang Wei is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, there are many wives and concubines in the family, and there are naturally a lot of heirs, and Tang Yong's house has a lot of population.
Huaizhen is a bride, although she often came to the Tang Mansion before she got married, but at that time she knew less than a third of the Tang family, fortunately, she was very thoughtful, and when she came back, she recognized all kinds of relatives and concubines.
It's just that Tang Wei's eldest lady, that is, Huaizhen's sister-in-law, is also nearly fifty years old, and has always been noble and dignified, even Tang Yong's wife is also thirty years away, she is also from a big family, and her temperament is elegant and light, and the three of them accompanied the old lady of the Tang Mansion to sit with Mrs. Pingjing, Mrs. Tang and other elders.
Everyone is solemn in the same color, although they smile at each other, but every move, they are all graceful and compatible, all within the rules, they are not like those juniors who love to talk and laugh, and among this kind of people, they are really young and tender like a flower out of the water, but it seems that the favored little granddaughter is staying in front of the elders, and it is interesting to watch.
However, for Huaizhen, this is at ease...... Because of sitting with the ladies, everyone is proud of their identity, and rarely talks and laughs, occasionally only whispers a few words, gossip, but saves a lot of tongue.
Therefore, Huaizhen only sat indifferently for most of the time, watching the juniors laughing and playing, and his heart was quiet and serene.
Mrs. Pingjing knew that her temperament was different from that of other girls, so she didn't speak, she wanted to call her to make love with her, but because it was a family banquet, everyone sat in order, so Mrs. Pingjing didn't call her over, so as not to provoke everyone's criticism, so it was a little lighter than the old situation.
In the evening, a group of small dramas came up to practice and play, which aroused the likes of the wives and ladies, and they laughed and rewarded them with money.
Seeing that it was too late, there was the sound of firecrackers outside, and the servants and maids rushed in and brought rice balls to eat.
Huaizhen was not used to eating sweet, and he was not hungry, so he only ate two. Suddenly, I heard the sound of artillery fighting outside getting denser and denser, and it turned out that the fireworks were starting to be set off, at this moment, the younger girls in the house all ran out to see, Huaizhen also tilted his head to look out, only vaguely saw the shadow of the fireworks, because the ladies around him did not move, Huaizhen did not move.
After sitting like this for a while, seeing that it was not too early, Mrs. Pingjing returned to the house first, and then everyone dispersed.
Mrs. Tang also took Huaizhen's hand and went out to ride back home, and when Xiao Tang also went out, she rode home with her.
Mrs. Tang accompanied everyone for a long time, she was tired, and after returning to the house, she rested for a while, and went back to her room to sleep.
Xiao Tang accompanied Huai Zhen back to the room, and asked on the way: "Today, I see that you always sit with your aunt and grandmother, and you never even come out to watch the fireworks, are you boring?" ”
Huai Zhen said: "I don't feel bored,...... How do you know I didn't go out to see it? ”
Xiao Tang said: "I went to take a look...... I didn't see you, I just saw you sitting in the back room, obviously I wanted to see it, why didn't you come out? ”
Huai Zhen saw that he really understood it, so he smiled and said: "I'm not a child anymore, they haven't moved, what do I have to run out of first, doesn't it seem that I have no rules?" ”
Xiao Tang held her hand, smiled without saying a word, and the two returned to the courtyard, Xiao Tang was not busy entering the house, but said: "Wait a while reads();." ”
Huai Zhen didn't understand, but he saw a few people standing in front of the courtyard, and he didn't know what was being placed, so Huai Zhen said strangely: "What is this?" ”
Xiao Tang said: "I saw two excellent fireworks from my brother before, but you haven't seen them, isn't it a pity?" So I specially asked for two to come back, just to show you. ”
Huai Zhen was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "How can you be so hearty? ”
Xiao Tang lowered his head, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "Do you know now that I have a heart?" ”
At this time, the little guys were all placed, Xiao Tang waved his sleeves, and everyone lit fireworks, and in an instant, I saw the fireworks and silver flowers all over the yard, straight into the sky, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it was daytime, and tens of millions of fireworks rushed into the night sky, blooming with a bang, and like stars falling one after another......
Huaizhen looked up, happy and sighed, Xiao Tang was afraid that the night wind would be cold, so he unfolded the big air and wrapped her in his arms.
Huai Zhen let him hug him, only to look at the fireworks in the sky stupidly, and what Xiao Tang saw was that in her clear eyes, there were countless fireworks like sparks, shining brightly, and they were extinguished, which was even more beautiful.
The two of them were watching the fireworks rise up one after another, and suddenly Huaizhen's face was cold, and his long eyelashes blinked slightly, but he saw that in front of him, among the prosperous and gorgeous fireworks, a little white fell, and Huaizhen couldn't help but exclaim: "It's snow!" ”
Xiao Tang also felt a slight chill on his face, raised his eyes to see that it was indeed snowing, and said with a smile: "Good snow, could it be that you don't know what people want?" ”
In the past, when Xiao Tang came back from Shaluo Kingdom, in the Ying Mansion, he saw Huaizhen in the snow, and the two of them walked in the snow, walking and laughing, and the scene made him unforgettable for a long time.
The second time, but he returned with nine deaths, also in the snow, he hid behind the green pine, saw her alone, walked in the snow and walked to him, as if it was destined.
The two reunions that he remembered deeply were actually related to snow.
Now, it is another year of new snowfall, and he, finally in the arms of the jade man, got his wish......
At this moment, the fireworks sneered and sneered, and the fireworks and silver flowers sprayed higher and higher, as if to present all the splendid beauty to the eyes of the world, and the fireworks that burned out were accompanied by snowflakes fluttering and falling.
Huai Zhen leaned on Xiao Tang's chest and smiled fondly: "Today's fireworks are the best ...... I've ever seen."
Xiao Tang wrapped her tightly, and at this moment, it was as if he really put her on the tip of his heart, and asked with a smile: "Is it?" Glancing at the fireworks, but his eyes fell back on her face, Xiao Tang said, "Huaizhen...... But it's always the best-looking I've ever seen. ”
Huai Zhen was stunned, so he also looked away and looked at Xiao Tang's face...... At this moment, the brilliant fireworks were still desperately blooming on the side, but she couldn't take her eyes off Xiao Tang's face in the slightest.
In his ears was the sound of the night wind dancing in the snow, accompanied by the wanton sneer and burning sound of fireworks, but it seemed so quiet, and in an instant, all kinds of things since he met him were like floating clouds, flying in front of him, and finally the prosperity subsided, but he stood firmly and persistently in front of him, so clear and clear.
Huai Zhen said, "Uncle Tang...... I've seen it too...... The best thing is also in my heart...... Favorite. ”
Xiao Tang trembled slightly, looked at each other for a moment, then picked up Huai Zhen horizontally, turned around and walked back to the room.
After the Lantern Festival, it was only March, and there was news from Suwangfu. I don't know what the message is, and listen back to the breakdown.
