CHAPTER XIV

The front yard of King Qin's Mansion is very lively at the moment, and the nobles seem to be wearing masks that can only laugh, all of them are laughing and groaning, and every smile is in place, making people feel that they are really laughing.

The banquet began, and Tang Xiaoshi and Chu Ming's positions were arranged in the middle, which was very conspicuous, which made Tang Xiaoshi vigilant - there must be demons when things go wrong.

One is the unpopular prince, and the other is the abandoned daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can the two of them sit in the middle of the courtyard among the many noble merits? Don't guess, people are inviting you into the urn!

Chu Ming also frowned slightly, he could almost guess what Chu Sheng wanted to do for a while, but when he saw Tang Xiaoshi sitting down calmly, he also sat down.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Tang Xiaoshi has never been afraid of anyone, today she wants to see what tricks her sister can play.

Tang Xiaoshi saw the titular father of this body - Tang Huairen, he was sitting on the seat at the front of the courtyard, and the middle-aged lady next to him who looked graceful and luxurious, there was no need to guess that it should be Tang Xiaoshi's stepmother.

Regarding these two people, Tang Xiaoshi has also inquired a lot about them this year.

On the official road, Tang Huairen can be regarded as a success, all the way to opportunities, all the way to the top, and now he has reached the peak of his official position. But in terms of being a man, Tang Xiaoshi really looks down on this father.

When Tang Huairen was still a poor scholar, Tang Xiaoshi's mother married him. Although Tang Xiaoshi's mother, Zhang, is not a famous family, she is also the daughter of a rich and noble family in the county, who has read, is gentle and virtuous, and does not hesitate to break with her family in order to marry a poor scholar. After marrying Tang Huairen, in order to let him concentrate on the exam, Tang Xiaoshi's mother took care of all the hard work in the family, and the illness of physical cold fell at that time.

After three years of hard work, her husband finally won the title of the gold list, the top student in high school, and she cried with joy.

Who knew that it was rumored outside that when Tang Huairen tried the palace, the emperor asked him if he could have a wife at home, and he replied that there was no wife.

Tang Huairen's title on the gold list, and the candles in the cave room, really walked on the pinnacle of life, but he didn't know that there was a bitter woman waiting for him at home.

Zhang was already pregnant at this time, and when she heard the rumors, she couldn't believe that her husband would be that kind of person, and she was still waiting for her husband to come home to pick her up.

Who knows that the misfortune is not a single line, Zhang's childbirth was actually a difficult birth, and the mother's family scattered all the gold, and invited all the midwives and doctors in the county, after all, it is their own daughter, how can they not cherish it? It's a pity that Zhang desperately wanted to give birth to flesh and blood for her husband, exhausted her strength and hemorrhaged, and took a look at her infant daughter and went.

She muttered, "Huairen, Huairen...... I gave birth to a ...... for you" This hard-working woman endured all kinds of hardships for a Chen Shimei, gave birth to flesh and blood, and didn't know that she was really abandoned until she died......

And Tang Huairen, who returned from the scenery, swore an oath to the outside world that the Zhang family was just a maid in the family, and the reason for giving birth to a daughter was to drink a few more drinks with friends.

In order to help her husband save her reputation, and in order to reflect the righteousness of her scholarly family, she took the initiative to regard Zhang as the wife of the Tang family, and the Tang Xiaoshi she gave birth to is the daughter of the Tang family.

After all, she is a dead person, and there is no need for the Zhao family to fight with her.

As for the newborn Tang Xiaoshi, she was taken back to the Tang Mansion and raised by the Zhao family. To destroy a child, the best way is to turn her into a waste material, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhao family loves Tang Xiaoshi very much, but they don't know that they have always let a child act recklessly, which will make her a noble girl who only knows how to fly and dominate, and everyone spurns.

So before Tang Xiaoshi got married, her reputation in Chang'an City was very bad!

Tang Huairen regarded Tang Xiaoshi as a stain on his official journey, and Zhao's stepmother regarded Tang Xiaoshi as a thorn in her side, so the two waited until Tang Xiaoshi reached the age of marriage, and did not hesitate to play a trick and married Tang Xiaoshi to the abolished prince Chu Ming. At the same time, Tang Jiaojiao was promoted to the top and a very promising golden beetle son-in-law - Chu Sheng was recruited.

It's been more than ten years, and he finally threw away the burden of Tang Xiaoshi, so at the banquet, even though he had seen Tang Xiaoshi a long time ago, Tang Huairen chose to ignore it and not take a second look! This is a stain on his journey.

……

……

Tang Xiaoshi crossed over here, without any □□ for the people around him.

However, for such a disgusting "father", Tang Xiaoshi felt the need to seek some justice for her mother Zhang. Tang Xiaoshi admires a kind, simple and good woman like Zhang, if it weren't for the fact that she looked away, Tang Xiaoshi believed that such a woman would definitely become a good wife and a good mother.

Such a woman should be a treasure for men, not abandoned!

……

……

The banquet was getting better, King Qin Chusheng was holding the prince, followed by Princess Qin Tang Jiaojiao, and they finally came out.

They took the doll around in a big circle, laughing and congratulating everywhere they went.

Chu Ming and Tang Xiaoshi drank tea very calmly, and both of them knew in their hearts that Chu Sheng and Tang Jiaojiao would definitely come here in a while, poke the sore spots of the two of them in front of everyone, and make everyone laugh and spurn them.

Tang Xiaoshi wanted to laugh a little, if she wanted to play such a trick, it would be too pediatric.

Who is afraid of whom?

Finally, Chu Sheng and Tang Jiaojiao came over, and their laughter was very hypocritical and ugly, like two foxes who had just come back from stealing. However, when Chu Sheng saw Tang Xiaoshi, who was beautiful but not glamorous, like a fairy, he was still slightly shocked, Tang Xiaoshi saw a kind of greedy ** in Chu Sheng's eyes, and she could even guess what this vain man was thinking.

This kind of man is a visual animal, and their cranial nerves are directly connected to □□. Tang Xiaoshi swore that she would definitely find an opportunity to make Chu Sheng regret today's thoughts, and no one could blaspheme her Tang Xiaoshi!

The first is to send a congratulatory gift. Tang Xiaoshi saw that Tang Jiaojiao was followed by a large group of maids, holding the congratulatory gifts they had just received in their hands, what Ruyi, golden locks, South China Sea pearls...... Nothing is not a rarity.

On such occasions, gift-giving is a comparison.

Chu Ming naturally knew the situation of the academy, which was now very short of money. He secretly thought in his heart that it was not easy for Tang Xiaoshi to come up with such two sets of exquisite clothes, so he had already arranged for Uncle Fu to buy a congratulatory gift, and the Jingwang Mansion was not rich, so the congratulatory gifts prepared could not be compared with others, but it was better than nothing.

Chu Ming was about to ask Uncle Fu to send a congratulatory gift, but was stopped by Tang Xiaoshi, and Tang Dong'er presented a beautiful wooden box at this time. Tang Xiaoshi took the wooden box, handed it to Tang Jiaojiao, and pretended to smile: "My sister gave birth to a little son, my sister is really happy for my sister, prepare a little gift, don't dislike my sister." ”

Tang Jiaojiao also pretended to take the wooden box happily, but said to Chu Sheng: "When my sister was in the Tang Mansion, she loved me the most, and the gifts prepared for our family Hong'er must be great and rare, why don't we open our eyes with all the relatives and friends present!" ”

Chu Sheng nodded.

Tang Jiaojiao has already inquired, Tang Xiaoshi is now poor and can't afford to buy any congratulatory gifts, even if she buys it, it must be worthless rags, this slut actually deliberately used a box to contain congratulatory gifts, wanting to hide people's eyes, thinking that this way can fool the past? She must be in front of everyone today, let everyone see how poor Tang Xiaoshi is, so poor that she can't even afford a decent gift, and tomorrow, your Tang Xiaoshi's reputation for not plucking an iron rooster will spread throughout Chang'an.

Tang Xiaoshi's heart blossomed, such a stupid and cautious person really made her want to laugh. Open the box? I'm afraid that you won't open it. Since you're going to advertise my business again, I can't help it.

Let's just wait for the blind! I don't have Tang Xiaoshi gold, but this rare thing, my academy grabbed a lot of it.
