Chapter 35: Asking for a Visit

The people of the Tang Mansion have been in chaos these days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info two days ago, I was busy with the national ceremony to welcome guests and recruit relatives, and today I met Tang Yuanwai infected with illness in bed, and I couldn't afford to be sick. Since yesterday, Tang Yuanwai came back from a lost soul, he fell asleep in the study for a few hours, tossed and turned at night, and woke up several times. As a result, early in the morning, I lay in bed and couldn't get up.

Mrs. Tang knew that he was sick because he was in a hurry, so after calling the doctor to prescribe a few medicines, she stayed with the bed and waited diligently, not forgetting to say the way of relief to relieve the depression in Tang Yuan's outer chest.

"If your daughter recruits relatives, whether it is successful or not, why should you be angry and depressed? Isn't it because of a small loss of a big one? ”

"Madam, do you think I don't want to keep my daughter at home for a few more days?" Tang Yuanwai opened his eyes slightly, his lips were pale, his face was sallow, and he said weakly, "It's just that we can keep her for a while, but not for a lifetime, rather than consuming it like this, it's better to find a good family as soon as possible and get married." ”

Mrs. Tang was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said softly: "I know your thoughts, although it was a martial arts competition yesterday, none of you caught your eye. If you want to say the one that is most to your liking, I guess...... It's the people who stayed in the house yesterday, right? ”

I saw a frenzy in Tang Yuan's eyes, and then he regained his composure, coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Mrs. Tang, and said with a slight smile: "It's still Madame who knows what I think best......"

Mrs. Tang was not pleasant, but her face was even more cold, and she said: "But why don't you want to think about it, how kind of abyss is in the Hou Mansion, you really can't bear to push your daughter into the princely family?" With her kind of temperament, when she goes to a family with strict rules, isn't she simply looking for sin? ”

"Humph!" When Tang Yuanwai heard this, his face turned angry, and his paleness instantly turned purple, and he interrupted, "Since ancient times, only princely families have looked down on the children of commoners, how can we dislike others?" Not to mention the strict rules, if you hadn't spoiled Xi'er since childhood, how could she be addicted to fighting and killing all day long, and break the rules! ”

Although Mrs. Tang was still unconvinced, she lowered her head and kept silent when she saw that the old man was sick and angry. After a while, she called a few maids to stay by the old man's bedside, and went out to take care of the decoction herself.

Just as he was passing through the corridor and walking to the garden, he suddenly saw a small man hurrying over, walking to Mrs. Tang, and saying, "Madam, there are two people at the door who want to see you." ”

Mrs. Tang stopped and asked, "Two?" Who is it? ”

"I don't know the little ones, I haven't been to Fuzhong before, and they all look young, a man and a woman."

"Since I don't know each other, I'll send it away, there are more such people on weekdays, how can the master have so much heart to receive it?"

"But...... The two said that it was related to yesterday's Miss recruitment meeting, and they also said......"

"What else?"

"And I said, I must see you."

"See me?" Mrs. Tang frowned, "You really heard it right, it's not the master you want to see?" ”

The little girl shook his head and said definitely: "No, the two of them said in person, they want to see you, Mrs. ”

Mrs. Tang pondered for a moment, but she still couldn't remember that there were two relatives and friends coming, and she thought that it was her own family who came to defect, so she was a little worried, and after thinking about it again, she followed the little guy and walked towards the gate together, wanting to take a look.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun called Liu Wugang early in the morning to lead the way, and found the gate of the Tang Mansion, as soon as the three of them arrived, Liu Wugang looked for something to leave, of course, before escaping, Lin Xun took the opportunity to joke a few words, but since they knew the roots, the two of them no longer made more trouble, so they let him go back.

When they first arrived at the gate of the Tang Mansion, it was still dawn, and although the two of them had not slept all night, they were still in good spirits. The starry white moon could still be clearly seen from the sky, and now that the sky was bright, the Tang Mansion slowly pushed open the door, but saw a small guy running forward in a hurry, ignoring the two of them. grabbed him and asked, and the two learned that it was Tang Yuanwai who fell ill, and the man asked the doctor to go.

After another two hours, the two of them saw the doctor come out and gradually move away, and then they stood outside the gate of the Tang Mansion again, called a servant who was guarding the door, and asked him to talk.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw a noble lady come out from behind the door with a dignified figure, her steps were steady, not hurried or slow, her face was quiet, and when she did not speak, she had a majesty that surpassed that of Tang Yuanwai. The two curved eyebrows are flat and not wrinkled, the grease on the face is light and not greasy, and the gestures show the peace and prosperity of many years of life, and the broad-mindedness of my heart.

Lin Luo Lin Xun took a deep breath and glanced at each other, and after Mrs. Tang stood still in front of the two, they saluted deeply together, and Lin Luo spoke first: "The folk girl Lin Luo and her younger brother Lin Xun meet Mrs. Tang." After a pause, she added, "I didn't want to disturb Madame's peace, but we had no choice but to ...... My brother and I really had something important to discuss with my wife, so we took the liberty of coming to your mansion. I didn't want to run into a servant who went to ask for a doctor, so I thought, maybe someone in the house is sick, and the manpower will be busy. Therefore, my brother and I waited for a while before asking someone to inform Madame and ask her to forgive me. ”

Before she could carefully see the two people in front of her, she heard the words with a clear vein, and Mrs. Tang was secretly taken aback in her heart, but she still didn't move, and her face was still calm and majestic. When the two of them looked up, she took a closer look at the two of them.

After ruling out that it was her mother's relatives, she remembered that Fang Cai said that they were here for the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and after making up her mind, Mrs. Tang raised her voice and asked, "You two, what is the matter with me?" ”

When Lin Xun heard this, he smiled and said: "Yesterday was the day of the recruitment of the daughters of the house, and my wife didn't come to the scene, so naturally I didn't recognize the two of us." My sister and I had a competition with Miss Tang in the ring yesterday, and it was wonderful! Oh, and that Rong Gongzi ......"

"Xun'er." Lin Luo frowned slightly, and lowered his voice to stop him. Lin Xun only reacted, and for a while he felt that his words were a little reckless, so he stopped his mouth, scratched his head and laughed dryly.

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she didn't get angry at Lin Xun's abrupt attitude, but only then did she understand that the two masters that Xi'er said yesterday were the two young people in front of her. Thinking of this, she carefully took a look at the two of them, and looked at them with good faces, especially the person who called herself a sister, who did have a unique temperament, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, light and gentle, and decent words, so she was relieved.

"Mrs. Tang, the daughter and her younger brother do have important matters to discuss, so can you enter the mansion to talk?" Lin Luo asked again, gritted his teeth, and added, "This matter is about ...... Ms. Tang's Birthday and ...... The pendant on her neck......"

The last sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Mrs. Tang trembled, countless white lights flashed in her mind, and the sound of the ding dong spring at the foot of Mianshan Mountain nineteen years ago came into her ears like a gonghou song, and even the breeze of that early spring seemed to be blowing over the sword. She stood there in a daze, her handkerchief clutched again, her eyes flustered.

Seeing this, Lin Luo frowned, glanced at Lin Xun, and saw that he also changed his expression, looking at Mrs. Tang with a stern expression.

"Mrs. Tang?" Lin Luo called again.

"No, no, I don't know you! Fast...... Get them away, quick! I saw that Mrs. Tang was like a demon, pointing at the two of them with a pale face, as if she had changed into a different person, the peace and tranquility on her face had long since disappeared, and she retreated while calling the servants beside her to drive them away.

"Mrs. Tang!" Lin Luo hurriedly shouted, seeing her in such a state, he also understood in his heart that he had not guessed wrong, and he had not made a mistake when he came to Xun'er today.

"Mrs. Tang, why are you so excited? My sister and I are not bad people, we just want to ask you something, why are you so unkind, you have to drive me away? Lin Xun's hands and feet were agile, and he did not stand still like Lin Luo, but stepped up the steps and stood in front of Mrs. Tang.

"Can't you hear me? Hurry up and drive the two of them away, and what are you doing in a daze! Mrs. Tang continued to scream in horror for the others to drive them away. It's just that the little guys around can't understand the scene in front of them, and they haven't seen Mrs. so out of shape, so they are all stunned, and they don't know what to do.

"Mrs. Tang, I don't understand, why don't you even want to listen to us? What are you afraid of? My sister and I will never hurt ......."

"This son," Mrs. Tang tried her best to stabilize her breath, gritted her teeth and looked directly at the person in front of her, and the words in her mouth seemed to burst out of her chest directly, and she was quite imposing, "I can't invite you two into the mansion, and my daughter can't be seen by the two of you." Whoever you are and where you come from...... What is the purpose, from now on, you are not allowed to come to my Tang Mansion again! Close the door! ”

"Mrs. Tang!" I saw that Lin Luo's eyes were slightly red, and as soon as the words came out, he hurriedly ran to Mrs. Tang, stared at her, lowered his voice, and said word by word, "Madame, don't you understand, everything is the will of heaven, no matter what you experienced many years ago, you can't stop what should come and who should come." Now that fate is over, why should you deceive yourself? You can't hide from today's events...... My brother and I can't hide from ......."

The eyes were facing each other, and everything around them seemed to fall into a great silence, and there was no sound.

The corners of Mrs. Tang's mouth twitched slightly, her eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes overflowed her eyes, but she still endured it and didn't fall. She took a deep breath and stared at Lin Luo for a long time before she choked up and said, "Whether I can hide or not, ...... today I will never let you in. No matter how selfish I am, I am better than those who have abandoned her for so many years and ignored her...... It's so much better! What kind of face do you have to come to my house to talk about this? ”

"Not really! Mrs. Tang ......"

"It's useless to talk too much, you ...... Let's go! Mrs. Tang waved her sleeves, lowered her head and wiped her tears, turned around and left.

"Mrs. Tang!" As soon as Lin Luo spoke, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and when Lin Xun saw this, although he was surprised, he still knelt down. The two looked up at her, extremely earnest, Mrs. Tang hurriedly stopped, turned her head to stare at the two faces, moved her lips, and was speechless for a while.

"Mrs. Tang, the truth is not as you think. The person who hugged her at the beginning was really helpless to fall into this situation! You don't know why, you shouldn't be judged like that! Lin Luo paused, his eyes were like torches, shooting directly at Mrs. Tang's face, seeing that she didn't speak, he added, "Madame, you know, there are thousands of dollars in the house...... What is the identity? ”

Mrs. Tang hung her head, her eyes did not dare to look directly at them, and she seemed to have not heard Lin Luo's words, and was silent and silent.

Lin Xun hurriedly said: "Miss Tang is ......"

"That's it." Mrs. Tang raised her head suddenly, her face returned to her calm and dignified appearance, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "You two, come in with me." ”

Lin Luo almost cried with joy, turned his head and glanced at Lin Xun, the two of them hurriedly stood up, and after thanking Mrs. Tang, they followed her into the Tang Mansion.
