Chapter 35 is a foregone conclusion
At night, Tang Shaohe sat anxiously in the house waiting for his younger brother to return, Xia Tian and Qiu He were more anxious than her, and ran directly outside the courtyard gate to wait.
About half an hour passed, and she saw Xia Tian running in with a happy smile, "Miss, the young master is back—"
As soon as the words fell, Jinghua's small figure appeared outside the door of the house, her eyes were filled with tears, and she quietly watched her brother rush into her arms.
All the anxiety and uneasiness of that moment was fleeting, and in exchange for a joyful sense of pleasure, her dearest and beloved brother finally came back unharmed, which was better than having everything in the world.
"Sister, I brought you a roast chicken." Tang Jinghua put the roast chicken in his hand in front of her, with an innocent and lovely smile on his face, "It's delicious, you can taste it." ”
"Jinghua is so well-behaved, I think of my sister everywhere." Tang Shaohe quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, showed a pleased look, took the roast chicken in his brother's hand and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Well, it's so fragrant!" Who gave it to you? ”
"The prince praised me for practicing seriously, and the master asked me to bring back the roast chicken for my sister to eat." Tang Jinghua raised his head and smiled happily, his thin little finger pointed at Xia Tian and Qiu He, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is it okay to let them eat together?" ”
"Good! Jinghua is really sensible, my sister likes it! Tang Shaohe didn't think much about it, nodded, and smiled at the two girls: "You go down and cut this chicken into small pieces, and you will come over to eat it together." ”
"Yes, slave thank you, miss! Thank you, little master! The two girls were grateful, and happily took the roast chicken down, and soon presented it.
After the four of them finished eating the roast chicken, they sat on the chairs and chatted for a while, and after Tang Jinghua finished tidying up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
During these days, Tang Shaohe rarely went out of the house, except for sending his younger brother to school, the rest of the time was in the Tang Mansion waiting for the news of Cuihong.
Since the incident in the palace, she no longer goes to the small courtyard in the alley of Jiuxiang of East Street, thinking of the disappointed and suspicious eyes of the prince at that time, her whole person is wilted, and she can't do anything. Although she didn't do anything wrong, in the final analysis, this matter is still related to her, who made her refuse the kindness of his nurse, and made her old man angry, how could Prince Qi, who respected the nurse the most, not blame her?
Forget it, there are some things that she doesn't want, and she is not reluctant, in short, it is best to take a detour when we meet in the future, so as not to provoke him and cause more misunderstandings and troubles.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the eighth day of the third month, and Mrs. An's birthday had passed two months.
It stands to reason that the matter between Hou Ye Xu and the fourth sister should be concluded, why hasn't there been a result yet?
Just as she was wondering in the middle of the courtyard, a woman wearing a dark blue maid's dress outside the courtyard gate mysteriously flashed in.
When she saw that the person who came was Cui Hong, her heart suddenly beat rapidly, could it be that there was news?
"Cuihong, have the four aunts determined the auspicious date for the fourth sister's marriage?" Tang Shaohe asked excitedly, after waiting for so long, it should be time for the dust to settle.
"Third Miss, let's go inside and talk." Cui Hong looked out of the courtyard door, and without waiting for her to get up, she went into the house first.
Tang Shaohe, who arrived later, asked Xia Tian and Qiu He to stay outside the door, telling them to report if they had anything, and to see if there were anyone nearby who was walking around or monitoring their every move.
Seeing her solemn expression, the two girls realized that what they were talking about must be of great importance, so they both nodded prominently, closed the door with their hands, and stood guard at the gate of the courtyard.
"What the hell is going on? Is there a result? Tang Shaohe raised his head, his big apricot eyes stared at her red face without blinking, not wanting to miss the complicated emotions on her face, so as to judge the truth of her words.
Cui Hong pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Third Miss, the slave maid has heard that the date is set for March 28, and in two days, the Hou Mansion will make a decision to the fourth wife, and the eldest lady will also go over to help." ”
In other words, the eldest aunt will always follow up on the progress of this matter, and it may be that she has full authority to plan and operate!
If things really go the way she imagined, then how can she carry out the escape plan under the nose of the eldest aunt who is not looking?
The day was decided, Cuihong couldn't get the news she wanted, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, she looked at Cuihong with a soft face, and smiled: "So, that's great!" I have enough time to prepare some needlework and give it to my fourth sister when she gets married. ”
Cui Hong grinned, stood aside and said softly: "Then the third lady has to prepare in advance, maybe the eldest lady will take the eldest lady and you to give a gift to the fourth lady." ”
These words reminded Tang Shaohe, according to this view, she would never be able to escape in advance, and maybe she would be busy until the end, and the person who was pushed into the sedan chair would always be her!
Tang Shaohe's willow eyebrows frowned, and he thought for a while before he spoke: "That's right, I should have prepared early." ”
Seeing Cui Hong smiling at her, the pestle didn't speak in place and didn't plan to leave, as if she was waiting for her to appreciate a red envelope.
Tang Shaohe reacted at this time, got off the kang and entered the inner room, took out a purple box in the drawer of the dresser, and took out a silver hairpin with a beautiful pattern from it.
Walking out of the back room, she stuffed the silver hairpin into Cui Hong's hand, and said softly: "This is the treasure I found when I was a child with my mother in the market, and I am giving it to you." It's not worth a few bucks, but it's still pretty good,"
Cui Hong saw that she seemed to be a little reluctant, so she pushed it back, and saw that the silver hairpin was really good-looking, and she couldn't help but be greedy again, so she quickly grabbed the silver hairpin she was about to take back, and said with a smile: "Since the third miss is sincerely gifted, then the slave maid should accept it, thank you Third Miss!" ”
"Well, if you like it." The corners of Tang Shaohe's mouth pulled out a faint shallow arc, and he sighed secretly, let her go.
"The slave is still busy, so let's step back for the time being." Cui Hong put the silver hairpin in her sleeve pocket, blessed her, and withdrew from the house with her nod.
Tang Shaohe walked out of the door in annoyance, came to the big locust tree in the corner of the courtyard, lay on the bamboo collapse, looked at the few white clouds floating in the sky, and let the chaotic thoughts drift away with the floating clouds.
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, why did she choose March 28? Twenty-eighth concubine, did Mrs. An set it for Hou Ye Xu to make it convenient for him to remember this special day?
Master Xu, Lord Xu, how many concubines does he want to accept in this life to be satisfied? kept telling her that the person she loved was the lobby sister, but why couldn't she wait to welcome the lobby sister into the door after accepting thirty-eight concubines, and became the steproom after he promised?
Tang Shaohe came back to his senses, let out a long sigh, and said secretly: This may be where Xu Shi'an is ruthless enough, right?
