CHAPTER XLVI

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Feng naturally knew the eldest mother's thoughts, she hugged the eldest mother and coaxed: "Good girl, don't cry, if you have anything to say back to the house." ”

Now that the Zhang family has enough troubles, she doesn't want everyone to be distracted by her mother's affairs.

Two days ago, she told her eldest mother that now the Zhang family is an extraordinary period, and if there are any grievances, she must grit her teeth and swallow it.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, and it's no wonder that the aunt cried today.

Tang Xiaoshi didn't know why, and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

Feng Shixin didn't want to mention it, but he thought that Tang Xiaoshi and Chu Ming had the ability, and maybe they could have a perfect plan to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening to Feng's words, Tang Xiaoshi thought to herself, this Huang Yuan can be regarded as a young talent, and the eldest mother's "death" thoughts have become ill, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

But his father and mother are a little annoying.

It is also a good thing to promote a good marriage, so Tang Xiaoshi coaxed the eldest lady and said: "Don't cry, my cousin assures you that as long as Huang Yuan is sincere to you, he and the young lady in the neighboring county will not be able to get married, it should be the man of my family, and not a single hair will be missing." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, looked at Tang Xiaoshi with her eyes, and asked, "What idea does my cousin have?" ”

Tang Xiaoshi smiled mysteriously, did not answer directly, and said, "I'll leave this matter to my cousin." ”

Feng Shi saw that Tang Xiaoshi was confident, and understood that Tang Xiaoshi was capable, and he was also happy for his daughter, so he glanced at the eldest mother and said, "Don't take your cousin's gift soon, this is a dowry!" ”

Such beautiful jewelry as a dowry is already very face-saving, even when the Zhang family is the richest, they will definitely not be able to take such a valuable jewelry as a dowry, not to mention the fine jade and glass, the pure gold hairpin is expensive enough.

Tang Xiaoshi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, these are just small gifts, if the eldest mother really wants to get married, the dowry is more than that." ”

Feng Shi was dumbfounded, is this just a small gift? And that's not all the dowry? Although she had already learned from Chu Ming's words two days ago that Tang Xiaoshi already had her own academy and business in Chang'an at this time, she didn't expect Tang Xiaoshi to be so rich.

The old man and the old lady were also surprised.

Seeing that everyone had gifts, Xiao Budian pouted and said, "Everyone has gifts, but I don't have them." ”

Tang Xiaoshi laughed, pinched her mother's face, and said, "Cousin, I'm going to make pastries for you, okay?" ”

The young lady cheered with joy.

In such a remote temporary house, although the yard is not large, the old lady feels very happy, and the family is so happy more than anything else.

She believes that the Zhang family will not only rise again, but will also be stronger than ever.

……

……

In the underground cell of Wu Sange, a sturdy man was handquartered on a wooden frame, and his body looked a little bloody, but in fact, he only suffered some flesh and skin, and did not hurt his muscles and bones.

This is the messenger who was captured.

Third Brother Wu has not given the prisoner a heavy sentence, not because he can't bear it, but because the princess said that she will keep the prisoner for trial.

Third Brother Wu came out of the army, and he was very direct, he didn't understand why the princess dragged him and didn't let him be severely punished, what is the use of such a mother-in-law? He didn't know what shocking skills Tang Xiaoshi could have, the prince actually had great expectations for this woman.

Could it be that she is a pampered lady, and her skills can be compared to that of a man in the army?

He was faintly dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say it, because Tang Xiaoshi was the prince's woman.

There was a house on top of the cell, which was used for disguise and for the rest of the brothers who guarded the cell.

That night, Chu Ming came over with Tang Xiaoshi, and it happened that Third Brother Wu was also there.

Tang Xiaoshi sincerely thanked Third Brother Wu, after all, if it weren't for Third Brother Wu, the Zhang family might not have escaped this catastrophe.

Third Brother Wu said: "The princess is polite, the Zhang family is the princess's relatives, that is, the prince's relatives, this is what subordinates should do." ”

In the end, he only bought Chu Ming's account.

Tang Xiaoshi understood the meaning of Wu Sange, but she didn't care at all, she had also been in the army in her previous life, she knew that there was a type of person in the army, who did things straightforwardly, if she wanted him to be convinced, she had to show her skills.

Wu Sange should be this type.

Tang Xiaoshi didn't come empty-handed, she also brought a few side dishes made by herself, including fish and meat, all of which were freshly cooked.

She said to her brother in the room, "Let's all come and have some food to warm up." ”

Third Brother Wu saw that there were two big iron kettles on the table, which were used to warm wine on weekdays, because Third Brother Wu's dart game was crowded, and his iron kettle was naturally larger.

Third Brother Wu said: "Thank you for the kindness of the princess, this meal can be eaten, forget about this wine, take care of the cell, it is easy to make mistakes when drinking." ”

Tang Xiaoshi smiled and said: "Third Brother Wu, I understand the rules, this iron kettle is not filled with wine, it is the ginger water I boiled, the underground cell is very humid, drink some ginger water for the brothers to remove the moisture." ”

As soon as Tang Xiaoshi finished speaking, the brothers in the room were all warm in their hearts, and Third Brother Wu didn't feel that he glanced at Tang Xiaoshi.

The food cooked by Tang Xiaoshi is really delicious, the braised pork is sweet but not greasy, the pot meat is crispy and delicious, and the pot roasted carp has a sweet aftertaste...... Chu Ming, Third Brother Wu, and a few brothers swept away the food, and there was not even any vegetable juice left.

Those rough men also thought to themselves, when they go home, they must punish their mother-in-law well, they are all cooking, why can't they make this kind of taste?

After the meal, we finally talked about how to get the messenger to confess.

Third Brother Wu said: "I heard the prince say, princess, you want to interrogate the messenger in person, I don't know what the princess has planned?" ”

Without waiting for Tang Xiaoshi to answer, Wu San said again: "I, Wu San, have been in the army for many years, and now although I have to leave the army because I am missing a leg, my ability back then has declined at all. In my experience, this kind of lackey specially used to deliver important letters is the most difficult to force them to speak, after all, only the master trusts them enough to let them pass on the letters, especially the one in prison, who has neither a father nor a wife or children, does not eat soft and hard, and can withstand the beating, it seems that he is specially trained, and it may not be easy for him to open his mouth. In my opinion, it is better to be sentenced to a heavy sentence as soon as possible, because he will naturally be recruited if he can't stand it anymore. ”

Wu Sange said this to let Tang Xiaoshi understand the truth and retreat in the face of difficulties.

The cruelty in the cell was not something she could have imagined as a woman.

But Wu Sange thought about it, Tang Xiaoshi is not an ordinary woman, her methods are much more clever than the ancients.

Tang Xiaoshi shook his head and said, "If it is under a heavy sentence, this messenger dies without swallowing it in one breath, it will be difficult to find clues again, and you can't take such a risk." ”

Wu Sange couldn't refute it, because Tang Xiaoshi was right, such cases were not uncommon.

He asked, "What tricks does the princess have?" Despite Chu Ming's presence, there was still a hint of disdain in Third Brother Wu's tone.

He still didn't believe that Tang Xiaoshi could have any clever way to pry open the messenger's mouth.

Tang Xiaoshi said: "I do have a way. Brother Wu, have you ever heard that people who like to play with eagles have a way of training fierce falcons called boiling eagles? ”
