Chapter 34: Tang's Mother's Pain
I saw that Mrs. Tang didn't say a word and left tears first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Two lines of tears slid down the corners of her eyes, to the corners of her jaw, and then condensed into drops and fell to the ground. She didn't care about it, the handkerchief in her hand seemed to be completely gone, but she was clutched by a pair of her pale hands, and there was no blood in her hands.
"Madam, please don't blame Miss, Miss she is also forced to do so!" Although Yu Ming was panicked and frightened, she did not hesitate at this moment, and knelt heavily on the ground as soon as she bent her legs, crying bitterly, "Miss and those people have been fighting for several hours without stopping, Miss really won them!" By the way, there is also Rong Gongzi, Miss is not unwilling to compete with Rong Gongzi, nor does she intend to hurt Rong Gongzi's face, but she ......"
"Enough!" Mrs. Tang shouted hissed, closed her eyes tightly, and let the tears in the corners of her eyes slip away, and when her breath gradually stabilized, she slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze gradually moved up and fell on Tang Guxi's face.
"Mother, it's the daughter's fault......" Tang Guxi's voice was so light that it didn't exist, his anger was like a gossamer, and his face became pale and blank.
This sentence alone pierced Mrs. Tang's heart like a dagger, her body trembled, and seeing that tears were about to gush out of her eyes, Jin Xun's hands were sick, and she hurriedly helped her sit on the wooden bench. After Mrs. Tang sat down, she lowered her head slightly, and put one hand on the table, and the handkerchief in her hand was only slumped at this time, but it was already hideous.
Mrs. Tang took a deep breath, her eyes became soft and weak, she spat out the words in her mouth lightly, and said slowly: "Do you think that I am angry that I have not found my son-in-law?" Do you think I'm angry that I don't give Rong Gongzi face? Or do you think I'm mad at you for not listening to your father? ”
She shook her head heavily, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Neither...... I'm angry that you violated etiquette by inviting a woman to the stage in the ring, and you almost lost your life because of it! ”
Tang Guxi suddenly understood, and hurriedly explained to his mother: "Mother is too worried, that woman didn't hurt me a bit, and saved me in danger." ”
"Then what do you say, the sword that stabbed you?" Madame Tang raised her eyes and stared at her.
"Mother is really worried." Tang Guxi stepped forward and sat down beside his mother, and said with relief, "That sword is held by someone else, but each of us has a sword in our hands, and you should come and go to me, stabbing back and forth." No matter how sharp the sword is, no matter how swift and impermanent, it is just a competition, and the other party has a sense of proportion in his hand, and he will never hurt anyone! ”
Mrs. Tang listened carefully, her face was still slightly suspicious, but she was much calmer, and asked, "But I heard your father say that the sword body was fast at that time, and you were really a little bit away......
"Mother......" Tang Guxi smiled faintly, as if he had forgotten the pain on his face, "So people are masters, otherwise, why should I go to great lengths to invite the two of them to the stage?" Isn't it because they are quick and quick, but they have a good grasp of it? Mother is deep at home, but she doesn't understand the way of these martial artists. ”
Mrs. Tang's face was slightly embarrassed, and she couldn't help but feel a thousand remorse in her heart, thinking of the slap just now, she actually felt a slight pain in her palm, like a needle pricked in her finger. She lowered her gaze, and caught a glimpse of Yu Ming still kneeling beside her, and hurriedly bent down and stretched out her hand, "Child, get up." ”
Yuming sniffed, nodded hurriedly, and grabbed Mrs. Tang's sleeve as if flattered, and got up to stand up. Subconsciously looked at Jinxun standing next to him, and after the four eyes met, they all smiled slightly and returned to calm.
"Brocade." Madame Tang called softly.
"The slave is here."
"Go, go to my room and bring the cooling ointment, last time Miss fell and injured her hand, the one that Dr. Hua prescribed."
"The one that treats bruises, swelling and congestion?" As soon as Mrs. Tang opened her mouth, Jin Xun knew which medicine box it was, and asked this more at this time, completely for the young lady with red marks on her face in front of her.
Mrs. Tang sighed lightly: "It's that one." Go ahead. ”
"Yes."
Jin Xun agreed, and then retreated and went out, his steps as light as autumn leaves falling to the ground, and even the door was silent.
When she left, Mrs. Tang touched Tang Guxi's hands, and raised a hand to touch the cheek where she was beaten, and the moment her fingers touched her chin, her eyebrows were slightly locked, and a wisp of sorrow swept between her eyebrows, which could not be reduced.
"Mother, it's out of the way." Tang Guxi smiled and shook his head.
Mrs. Tang withdrew her hand, thought twice, and said earnestly: "Xi'er, you listen to me." According to my mother, my father is afraid that this time it is a delaying tactic, saying that he will no longer take the initiative to recruit relatives, and will only wait for people to come to the door to propose, but in fact, it is ...... Not really. ”
"What does Mother mean?" Tang Guxi couldn't help but be a little surprised and confused when he heard his mother suddenly change her words.
"Let me ask you, in the ring, why did Gongsun Mansion Family Rong Gongzi suddenly come to the stage and force down the previous strong man who was about to win, do you understand?"
Tang Guxi gritted his teeth lightly and asked, "Isn't that what Dad meant?" Dad admired the money and power of the Gongsun family, so he naturally paid tribute to that Rong Gongzi, and Rong Gongzi wanted to come to the stage to compete with me, so Dad naturally agreed. ”
Mrs. Tang nodded slightly and said, "You only said one right, not the second." ”
Tang Guxi couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart, and gradually became nervous, and glanced back at Yu Ming, only to see that Yu Ming was also listening with bated breath, and didn't know what the situation was. She had to turn her head again, stare at her mother, and shake her head slightly.
"Your father's recent passage of goods has been negotiated with the people on Hou Ye's side, whether it is the distribution of money or the operation of land and water, the help of the people on Hou Ye's side is indispensable. Naturally, half of the business he did was for the Hou Mansion, and the benefits he obtained were naturally half of the Hou Mansion. And, according to me...... In the next few years, our Tang Mansion will inevitably rely on the power of the Hou Mansion......"
"What do you mean by Mother's words?" Tang Guxi understood a little clue in his heart, but he still didn't understand what his mother said, "Why did my father want to win over the people of the Hou Mansion?" Why do you have to rely on the power of the Hou Mansion? ”
Mrs. Tang glanced at her, her face was calm, and she continued: "You don't have to know these reasons, and even if you do, you can't change your father's mind. It's just that I'm worried that he will take advantage of this to match you and Rong Gongzi......"
"What!" Tang Guxi was shocked, and after thinking about it, he felt that his mother was reasonable, and couldn't help muttering, "No wonder, today my father insisted on me competing with Rong Gongzi, I just thought he was afraid of the power of the Hou Mansion, but I didn't expect ......."
"Xi'er, originally, my mother thought that as long as you are a good person, no matter how powerful or rich, I don't have a second word. It's just that...... This Gongsun Hou is the most favored prince of the dynasty! The population of the family, wives and concubines and aunts are too many to count, not to mention the power and industry are large and the family rules are strict...... My mother is afraid of your temperament, if you really marry into the Hou Mansion, you can't cope with it at all! I have nothing else to ask for in this life, but to ask you to be safe and sound, and I don't want you to ......"
"Mother, don't say any more!" Tang Guxi stood up, "There won't be anything like this happening, even if it happens, I won't mess around with my father." I've always been free, and I don't want to be bound by rules and regulations, so what is the situation of the Hou Mansion...... I know it in my heart. Mother, you don't have to worry. ”
"If the time comes, then you will have to listen to your father. Remember, don't be willful anymore, your father has been in poor health lately, and he is getting old, so he just rested in his room for a long time before he recovered......"
Tang Guxi was a little anxious and asked worriedly, "Father...... You okay? ”
Mrs. Tang seemed to be tired, and shook her head gently, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Mrs. Tang rested for a while in the west wing, and after Jin Xun brought the cool ointment, she told Tang Guxi a few words, and then went back to the room with Jin Xun.
Just after the hustle and bustle of the day had all disappeared, the people in the Tang Mansion seemed to have exhausted their strength and were exhausted, and they all went to bed early. And in this moonlit night, there are only two places that have not been calm for a long time......
One place is the compartment on the second floor of the Juxian Inn, Liu Wugang told the two of them everything he knew about the Tang Mansion, especially Miss Tang, with the grace and power of the two of them, compared to what they said in the Huangjiang House last night, these things tonight can be described as reliable news. The other place is in Mr. Zou Li's house......
Chen Bingfeng sat on the mat facing the door in the house, from where he could just see the bamboo bushes in the yard and the acacia flowers in the corner, and there was a pot of bamboo leaf green wine on the table. After a while, Fang Yue walked in from outside, holding a large pot of snow flowers in his hand.
"Childe, the snow has been replaced with a new one, what do you think?"
The three or four pots of snow flowers in the courtyard withered completely in one day's time, for some reason. The snow was sent by the people of the Tang Mansion three years ago, and it has been placed on the west side of the courtyard since it came, and it can be seen from before Bingfeng's bed.
"These don't seem to be as fragrant as before, and the color is much worse......"
"Childe, this is already the best, in terms of color and variety, it is naturally not as good as Miss Tang's ......"
As soon as Fang Yue said those three words, he heard Chen Bingfeng cough violently, clutching his chest and shaking violently.
Fang Yue hurriedly put down the snow blossom in his hand, ran to Chen Bingfeng, and stroked his back, only then did he catch a glimpse of the bamboo leaf green wine on the table, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Why did Childe drink the wine?" The doctor once said that wine is a strong ......"
"There are clouds in the poem: three spring bamboo leaf wine, a song of Kun chicken strings. This bamboo leaf green wine is mild, and even in summer, it is just right for me, you ...... Don't worry. After Chen Bingfeng calmed down, he said intermittently, still holding Fang Yue's sleeve tightly with one hand, but his face was trying his best to show the lightness.
"Fang Yue knows that his son is sad, but his body is still the most important! Childe, don't hurt your body because of the sadness in your heart, not to mention today's incident is a great blessing......"
"What's the good fortune about?" Chen Bingfeng took the hand that was on his arm, sat up slightly, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and slowly turned to the position at the door, "Do you think that if she makes a dashing mess and becomes the final winner of the competition, Uncle Tang will spare her?" Today's events seem to be fortunate for her, but in fact they are a great sorrow......"
Fang Yue couldn't understand what Chen Gongzi was talking about, he only knew that he was sad in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The two sat quietly for a long time, until the evening breeze at the door blew the fragrance of the snow flowers, Chen Bingfeng glanced at the flowers next to him, stared for a moment, and said, "It's not early, you take this flower out and put it away, and go and rest yourself." ”
Fang Yue sat there motionless as if he hadn't heard it, just looking at him with a bitter face.
"You...... Anything else? ”
Fang Yue still had a sad face, his gaze moved to the ground gloomily, and he slowly shook his head.
Seeing him like this, Chen Bingfeng felt like a ray of warm sun shining into his heart, a shallow smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and slowly put it on the shoulder of this poor young man, and his tone was extremely soft: "Okay, let's go to sleep if there's nothing to do, I'm really fine." ”
Fang Yue raised his head again, looked at Chen Gongzi's smiling face, and nodded heavily.
