At the beginning of the year, in the backyard of Gao's house, Gao Lianlian sat in front of the dressing mirror with a green hair, tightly holding a rough peach hairpin in her hand, sulking there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Behind her, a maid dressed in green, after removing the hairpin ring for her, slowly grate her hair. She knew that her master was unhappy in the past two days, so she was careful in everything she did, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

It's no wonder that Tang Gongzi and Miss originally made an appointment to watch the lanterns and admire the moon together during the Lantern Festival, but the young lady waited for two hours, not only did not see a single figure, but there was not even a letter. Anyone who is released will be unhappy, let alone a person like Miss who "can only go against me, not against me"......

"Xiaoqing", there was a sudden call in his ears.

"Ahh Gao Lianlian's scalp hurt, and she was suddenly furious, and she slapped her in the face: ", is it itchy and wants to be beaten!"

"Miss spares her life, and the slave doesn't dare anymore. Xiaoqing knelt down with a plop, his forehead touched the ground, and begged for mercy.

"Hit yourself in the mouth. Gao Lianlian's anger did not subside.

"Bang, bang" Xiaoqing raised his hand and slapped himself twice, the voice was loud and sounded very hard.

Gao Lianlian was very satisfied, raised her hand slightly, and said slowly: "Get up, be careful in the future." ”

Xiaoqing kowtowed and said, "Yes, Miss." Then he stood up silently and stood to the side with his head bowed and his hands down.

"You go to the front yard and ask, is there really no news of Tang Gongzi today. Gao Lianlian commanded.

Xiaoqing hurriedly agreed, went out and called a girl named "Xiaohong" to come in and wait, and then went to the front yard.

Behind the gate of the high mansion, next to the pillar, leaned against a young man with a handsome face.

So sleepy, he covered his mouth and yawned, thinking that he would go back to the house after the shift change, and drink some wine to warm up before going to sleep.

"Brother Ping'an. Suddenly, a familiar and delicate call came from his ears.

It was Xiaoqing, he immediately came to his senses, stepped forward a few steps forward to hold the oncoming girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, why are you here, don't you have to serve Miss?"

Xiaoqing hurriedly withdrew his hand and said angrily: "What do you do, be careful of being seen by others, tell Mrs. and Miss, and the two of us will be finished." ”

"What are you afraid of, there is no one else here, no one will see it. Li Ping'an grinned and went to grab her hand again.

Xiaoqing looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he let him hold his hand with confidence.

Gently kneading his soft little hands, Li Ping'an's heart was full of tenderness: "Xiaoqing, I haven't seen you at both ends, are you okay?"

Xiaoqing lowered her head and didn't answer for a long time.

Li Ping'an was anxious, reached out to lift her chin, and carefully observed her face in the bright moonlight. But I saw that the girl's fair cheeks were a little red and swollen.

"That tigress hit you again?" said with anger and pity in her voice.

A teardrop rolled down from his eyes, burning Li Ping'an's heart. He carefully stretched out his fingers to gently wipe away the teardrop, and reached out to press her head into his arms: "It's all my fault, it's me who is useless." Xiaoqing, if you wait another year, I will definitely scrape together enough money for your redemption. The executive's family treated me very well, and I begged him to speak in front of the master for the two of us. When we are both redeemed, we will never stay in this cannibalistic place again. We either went out to do a small business, or went to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, and the two of us lived happily. Do you think it's okay?"

"Good, good. Brother Ping'an, you have to talk about it. My father and mother died early, and my brother and sister-in-law didn't treat me closely, so I have only one relative left in this world. Xiaoqing's voice choked up.

"Don't worry, I'll be the talker. Li Ping'an gently patted her shoulder and comforted.

The two were snuggling up to each other when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Li Ping'an hurriedly let go of Xiaoqing, asked her to hide it aside, and tidied up her clothes again before stepping forward to open the door.

I saw a middle-aged man standing outside the gate, holding a bag of things in his hand, and smiling kindly at himself: "This little brother, my name is Tang Dashan, I have something to ask to see your master, please report it." ”

Tang Dashan, who is it, I don't know.

Li Ping'an shook his head and said, "The master has already rested at this hour, you can come back tomorrow." "The door is about to close.

The person who came hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Little brother, you may not know me, I am Tang Yun's father, and I am your master's in-laws, I do have something important to find your master, please report it." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the 'in-laws' master. Master Tang, wait a minute, I'll report it right away. With that, he closed the door.

"The dog's eyes look at what is low on people. Tang Dashan saw that he didn't invite himself in, but closed the door and scolded in a hateful whisper.

Seeing the door closed, Xiaoqing hurriedly walked out and asked in a low voice, "How did I hear that person said that he was Tang Gongzi's father, and he had something important to find the master?"

"Exactly, coming here so late is probably a big deal. I have to go in and report, Xiaoqing, you go back first, and I'll look for you tomorrow. Li Ping'an said.

Xiaoqing hurriedly agreed, and hurried back to report the news to the young lady.

As soon as Gao Lianlian heard that Tang Yun's father was coming, she immediately got up and was about to go to the front yard to have a look.

"Miss, wait. Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped her, "It's not appropriate for you to go to the front yard at this hour, why don't Miss go to the woman's yard first and wait for the news." ”

When Gao Lianlian heard this, she felt that it made sense, and said anxiously: "Then we will go to our mother's yard and wait now." ”

"Miss, you haven't dressed up yet. Xiaoqing said helplessly.

"Then you don't hurry, it's rubbing, isn't the skin itchy again? Gao Lianlian said angrily.

Xiaoqing swallowed her anger, dressed her with her hands and feet, and then held the lantern in her left hand and supported her with her right hand, and walked quickly to Mrs. Gao's courtyard.

In the front yard, Tang Dashan, under the guidance of the executive's family, met Gao Renhe in the main hall, and after presenting the gift, he couldn't wait to explain his intention.

When Gao Renhe heard this, his face became grim. He attached great importance to this young man who was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, so he recruited him as his son-in-law. Thinking about cultivating him well, maybe he can earn a reputation and get an official position. He has no son, and his nephew is a gentleman who has achieved nothing, maybe the prosperity of the Gao family in the future will depend on this son-in-law.

Now that I heard that he was missing, I was also very anxious, and hurriedly ordered the executive's family to bring someone to find him.

Then he comforted Tang Dashan and said, "In-laws, don't worry. I'll send someone to look for it, but it's night, and we won't hear until tomorrow morning. Why don't I send someone to send you back first, and then send someone to inform you when I find it tomorrow. ”

Although Tang Dashan was in a hurry, he couldn't, so he had to agree.

Gao Renhe returned to the inner courtyard, only to find his daughter talking to his wife in the room.

"Daddy, you're back. Gao Lianlian hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to salute.

"Lianlian, why haven't you slept so late?" Gao Renhe sat down on the chair, took the tea handed over by the girl, took a sip, and asked.

"Dad, I'll come over to say hello to my mother. I heard that there are guests in front of you?" Gao Lianlian asked cautiously with a look on his face.

"Oh, yes. Gao Renhe said casually, but did not say anything more.

Gao Lianlian couldn't hold her breath, plucked up her courage and asked, "Dad, I heard that Uncle Tang is here, is there something wrong?"

Gao Renhe sank his face: "Who is chewing the root of the tongue in the ear of the young lady and slapping my mouth!"
