Chapter 40: The Grey Line of the Grass Snake (5)
Qu Ning went home all the way.
The result was beyond her expectations, Tang Shaoshuai went home early today, and this point was already waiting for her, the food on the table seemed to be hot and hot, although it looked hot, but those vegetables that should have been fresh and tender had lost the crispy color when they were freshly baked.
The hall was silent, and Baoqin and the others stood at the table, not daring to give her a look.
Qu Ning sighed in his heart, looked down at the men's clothes on his body that had not been changed off, and smiled at the man who was reading a book at the table with his head bowed: "Young marshal." β
Tang Shaoshuai seemed to have just seen her enter the door at this time, glanced at her lightly, nodded, and said "um".
He gently withheld the original document full of English in his hand: "Back?" Let's start the meal. β
Xu is because the room is too quiet, although it should have been eaten without sleeping, but always feel that this meal is tasteless, although Tang Shaoshuai has a calm face, but he didn't say much, only chopsticks flew on the table, Qu Ning couldn't figure out his thoughts, his heart was unwavering, at this time, he inexplicably felt that he didn't get up, and he was half-filled, she coughed and looked at the other party, breaking the embarrassing silence: "Jinzhi came back so early today?" β
Tang Shaoshuai has always eaten much faster than her, and at this time, he just took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, he put the bowl down, waved away the maid next to him, and said lightly: "I'm here to clean up the aftermath for you." β
"Huh?" Qu Ning was stunned, "Aftermath? β
Just stunned for a moment, she quickly understood.
"You mean, you know about my trip to Bada Hutong?" Her expression was frank and fearless, but that attitude made Tang Shaoshuai a little surprised.
He nodded and sat up straight: "Hmm." Looking at her unpanicked face, he paused slightly, "The people who know are not only me, but also my family and father." β
Seeing that she had almost eaten at this time, he let go of the chopsticks, and leaned over and asked, "Are you full?" β
"Hmm." Qu Ning nodded.
Tang Shaoshuai was very close at this time, she could smell the faint breath on him, he turned sideways and glanced at her clothes, and sighed: "Go and change it." β
Qu Ning nodded silently - naturally he couldn't dress like this to meet the feudal chief.
The two were silent until she finished changing her clothes, and then Tang Shaoshuai took her to the main house. In the cold autumn night, he always held her hand tightly all the way.
Stopping in front of the brightly lit main house, Tang Shaoshuai Zuihou only said one word to her: "Don't worry, everything has me." β
Qu Ning paused again, then shook his head and smiled, raised his feet and stepped up the steps: "Hmm." β
***
There was no surprise in the room, there was a three-hall trial pattern.
Almost everyone in the Tang family was there, and the atmosphere was so stagnant that it was almost a stomachache - a bunch of women who were originally gathered together and must have been intriguing and chattering all looked at them together, and the feeling was indeed like a thorn in the back. If she hadn't eaten before, she would have been uncomfortable if she calmed down now.
Qu Ning understood the reason why Tang Shaoshuai deliberately waited for her to eat before coming together, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm.
Seeing them walking in hand in hand, Tang Dashuai, who was sitting at the top, smiled, as if he was very pleased to see the love of this young couple, and put down the dry tobacco pouch in his hand: "Coming?" β
This is the second time Qu Ning has seen her father-in-law.
She bent down slightly: "My daughter-in-law has seen Da Shuai." β
At this time, the second aunt said in a somewhat weird manner behind Tang Dashuai: "We were waiting here several hours ago, the young marshal and noble people are busy, why, now that the officials are getting bigger and bigger, can't they even spare time to say goodbye to the elders?" β
Tang Dashuai frowned, slapped the table lightly, and the second aunt was immediately silent, but her face was still indignant and unhappy. Tang Dashuai glanced at her coldly, then turned his head and smiled at the pair of beautiful people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Although they are late, let's move a chair for Jinzhi and his daughter-in-law to sit on." β
The servants brought them two embroidered piers in responseβbut their seats were much more shabby than those in the hall with backrests and cushions under their buttocks.
Knowing that this was dismounting, Qu Ning smiled slightly, and pulled Tang Shaoshuai, who had never said a word and his face was like frost, to sit down, although the seat was uncomfortable enough, she still sat extremely straight and upright, and her posture looked extraordinarily straight.
"I'm looking for you today," Tang Dashuai watched them sit down, and then said with a smile, "One is to ask the daughter-in-law, these days in charge of the family, there are obstacles; Second, the Feng family mission is about to enter Beijing soon, and I also have to reiterate how our family should deal with it. β
Since he asked, Qu Ning owed: "Although I am shallow, I have been taken care of by my aunts and ladies these days, and the getting started is quite smooth, but my father-in-law is worried." β
"That's good." Tang Dashuai said with a smile, "If someone stumbles on you, just come and tell me that I will be the master for you." β
"My lady, I will naturally protect it." Tang Shaoshuai, who had always been silent, finally spoke coldly at this time, grabbed Qu Ning's hand, and shook her fingers in front of everyone, "Since she married me, she will be one husband and wife with me, if someone doesn't give her face, naturally they won't give me face." Those who don't give me face, I'll deal with it. He bit the two words very hard, and swept his eyes around, wherever his sharp eyes went, the second aunt, who had just spoken out in a hurry, hurriedly shrank her head, only to wait for the whole person to shrink behind Tang Dashuai.
Tang Dashuai, who was smiling slightly, slapped the dry tobacco bag in his hand on the table at this time.
"What did you say?" The eyes of him and Tang Shaoshuai seemed to meet in the air in an instant, as if countless sparks burst out of crackling.
Tang Dashuai looked at his son, who was already tall and handsome, and his beard trembled angrily: "In addition to your sisters, you are your elders, who are you threatening?" β
"It's not a threat." As he spoke, Young Marshal Tang had already pulled Qu Ning, who was still sitting upright, to stand up, and sneered, "Father, I'm not you, you can watch your wife die for the sake of the so-called great cause." The reason why I am standing here now is to give you an account. But there are some things that I don't want to say to you a second time. He no longer looked at Tang Dashuai, his sharp eyes just swept along the seat one by one, "In this family, my only relatives are the third sister and the woman next to me." If the rest of you are obedient and well-behaved, my Tang family will not worry about this stutter. But if you want something else, it's best to think about whether your backer is reliable or not! β
As far as he could see, the women lowered their heads one by one, and Miss Tang San's mouth opened wide in shock, almost fidgeting and twisting the hem of her shirt, her face turned pale with fright.
Miss Tang Er opened her mouth and shouted in a somewhat sluggish whisper: "Brother......"
Miss Tang Si's face was already bloodless, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head.
Tang Dashuai "snapped" and got up, with a lot of anger on his face: "Rebel, do you think your wings are stiff?" Those small actions you have made in the army recently, don't think that I, the old man, don't know! Lao Tzu turned a blind eye, but for the sake of your dead mother, don't think that you really have the heart of the army! Your second aunt said something wrong? Ji Si Chen ......" His gaze turned to Qu Ning's face, and his gaze was as cold as a blade at this time, "This kind of reputation, can you still lead the army?" β
Young Marshal Tang was cold, but he smiled proudly: "My reputation is evidenced by my own battlefield achievements, what does it have to do with my relationship with my wife?" β
Tang Dashuai's eyes became more and more cold, this pair of fathers and sons with very different appearances confronted, Qu Ning was sandwiched between them, seemingly at a loss, after listening to their words, he had already seen today's play in his heart: where is this trouble for her, it is clear that this is a father-son showdown, to say that he has seized power. Tang Dashuai seems to be attacking her, but in fact, he is clearly venting his dissatisfaction with his son!
Her affairs are just the fuse between them.
It's just that I don't know, what small actions did Young Marshal Tang make in the army, causing Tang Dashuai to be unable to bear it anymore?
Tang Shaoshuai looked back and sneered, didn't speak again, grabbed Qu Ning with his backhand, and left without hesitation.
***
His angry steps came out of the main hall and calmed down, although his steps were still heavy, but they were no longer angry.
In the cool air, Tang Shaoshuai raised his face and looked at the starry sky, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and looked at the bride beside him who could still smile at the corner of his lips: "If you have any questions to ask, just ask." β
"Third sister, don't you care?" Qu Ning glanced back at the main hall a little speechlessly, and then glanced at her tightly held hand.
"They won't touch the key." Young Marshal Tang pursed his lips and said.
"Key'er and I are both backhouse women," Qu Ning asked knowingly, "You dragged me out because you were afraid that I would be embarrassed?" That weishenme key is not the same as me? β
The smile on the corner of her lips was a little sly, but it made the hearts of those who watched itch.
Tang Shaoshuai stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of her upturned nose: "Because you don't want people to worry." β
...... "Why don't I make people worry."
Qu Ning instantly pouted and frowned.
Seeing her like this, Tang Shaoshuai smiled lowly: "Don't worry, it's okay." He reflexively turned his hands behind his back, "Father and I, each have a score." Now that I've made it clear, those ghosts won't stumble you over trivial matters anymore. In the affairs of the back house, you should spend less attention on it. That's the only environment I can create for you at this time. He sighed softly, "The Feng family is about to enter Beijing......"
