Chapter Seventy-Four: Hidden Danger
Tang Shaohe returned to the courtyard of the North Wing, took a small bamboo stool and sat under the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade, thinking about leaving the Tang Mansion in his heart.
I wonder if my uncle will agree to her leaving? She hoped to get some silver taels from her eldest uncle, so that she could go out and earn a living.
The only thing that worries her is that if this matter is known by the eldest uncle, I am afraid that she will not even be able to get a paulownia board, but it will attract other calculations of the eldest aunt, which will outweigh the losses.
Just as they were about to get into their minds, Xia Tian and Qiu He walked in with two large buckets, which were filled with washed clothes.
Seeing her come back, the two of them walked quickly to her with a big bucket, their eyes instantly turned red, and they shouted happily: "Miss, you are finally back......
Tang Shaohe smiled and nodded, looked at the two buckets full of clothes, frowned deeply, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are these clothes?" ”
Qiu He pointed to the clothes in the bucket and replied loudly: "Miss, these are all the people's changes of clothes in the house, and the eldest lady instructed the slaves and maids to finish this work every day before they can eat." ”
"How old are you, you actually let you wash the clothes of all the people in the house, it's really too deceitful!" Tang Shaohe's face was so angry that his face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and he couldn't wait to punch the lobby sister in the face to relieve his hatred. She looked at the thin and weak bodies of the two girls, her eyes were on fire, and she said angrily: "Then you haven't eaten anything yet?" ”
Seeing her so angry, the two girls couldn't help but nod a little scared, and whispered, "Miss, it's okay." Slaves and maids can get through it. ”
"Yes, Miss! Behold, both the slaves and maids have washed their clothes! Xia Tian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her. With a touch of timidity, he said softly: "Moreover, the slaves and maids can still rush to eat." ”
Listening to the positive words of the two girls, Tang Shaohe's heart ached indescribably, he stretched out his hand to hold the two girls in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's dry the clothes together, and I'll take you out for a walk later." ”
The two girls heard this. Dancing with joy. For them, leaving the house is a very happy thing.
Tang Shaohe helped them hang their clothes on bamboo poles, and then went back to the house to wash their faces. I rummaged through all the cages in the house, and finally found the only two remaining Tong coins in one of the cages.
Okay, let's take these two Tong coins and go to the market on East Street for the time being, and then go to the academy to visit my brother. so that he can learn art with peace of mind.
The three of them had lunch. In order to prevent the lobby sister from catching the two girls and refusing to let them go, Tang Shaohe took the two girls and sneaked out of the corner door in the backyard.
In the hall of the main courtyard of the Tang Mansion, Li Guiru's mother and daughter had just finished eating and sitting at the kang table drinking tea, and Mama Zhao outside the door walked in with a strange expression.
Under Li Guiru's nod, Mama Zhao said: "Big lady, the third lady and the two girls beside her have just left the mansion and are heading in the direction of Dongdajie, do you want to do it now?" ”
Tang Shaoying, who was sitting on the side, smiled like a fairy. squeamishly conspired and planned: "Mother, I think it's safer to wait for them to come back before doing it." If you are outside, if you are seen......"
Li Guiru said 'um', pondered for a moment before speaking: "Mama Zhao, just do what the eldest lady says." Send someone to follow them for the time being, but don't lose them again. ”
"Yes, the old slave will go down and make arrangements." Mama Zhao replied expressionlessly, and then exited the hall with a wave of Li Guiru's hand.
Tang Shaoying's red lips curled into a good-looking shallow arc, took a sip of jasmine tea gently, and smiled slowly: "Mother, while Daddy doesn't know that she's back." Let's get rid of her tonight, the more I look at her, the more unpleasant it becomes. actually dared to kill the fourth sister to marry into the Marquis of Anning's mansion, but she herself secretly ran away...... That's right! Mother, who is the concubine who married in her place? How did they meet? ”
"Humph! The twenty-eighth concubine who married on her behalf is now favored by Marquis Xu! Where else can I ask for some clues? Li Guiru snorted coldly, slammed the teacup on the table sullenly, and said angrily: "That stinky girl doesn't know which dignitary in the court she has befriended, and she can escape from the hands of the old lady, count her skills!" But even so, even if she escaped the first year of junior high school, she couldn't escape fifteen! Let her take a good look tonight! ”
"Mother, you better stay by Daddy's side. Be careful that your father finds out the clues, it will be difficult to do. Tang Shaoying smiled and pressed the back of her mother's hand, and said in a low voice: "I'll leave this matter to my daughter, I promise not to disappoint you!" ”
Li Guiru nodded, responded with a 'yes', and then said with a smile: "Well, you are sensible." But you must not do it, lest it stain your hands. ”
"But—" Tang Shaoying looked at her mother's resolute expression, and stopped talking.
"Well, let me think about it again. You go back to the house to rest first, isn't there still a gentleman's class in the afternoon, hurry up and get ready. Li Guiru urged her with a gentle smile.
Tang Shaoying knew that once her mother made a decision, no one could change it. had no choice but to give up and walked out of the hall with the emerald red beside him.
"Cuihong, you will go over to help your mother tonight, and report to me immediately if there is anything." Tang Shaoying commanded with some unease.
Cui Hong was terrified when she heard this, although she had seen many such cases, but they were all punishments from her master's subordinates. There has never been a case like now, where the third lady, who is still half a master, was poisoned, and she was asked to witness the whole thing happening with her own eyes...... It's scary to think about, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
Cui Hong bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said to Tang Shaoying in a trembling voice: "Yes, eldest miss, the slave maid knows." ”
In the market on East Street, Tang Shaohe shuttled through the market with two girls, and bought two pieces of white sugar cake with a tong coin, as well as three strings of rock sugar gourds.
The three of them came to the tea shed on the side of the street to rest, and the proprietress saw the three of them arrive and greeted them very warmly.
Tang Shaohe was forced to ask for a pot of tea and a small plate of peanuts, and spent the last piece of tung money on his body.
The two girls were moved to cry, which made Tang Shaohe feel even more uncomfortable, there was really no money to kill a poor man with a bamboo pole.
Tang Shaohe divided the white sugar cake and rock sugar gourd in his hand into the hands of the two, looked at the cheerful smiling faces of the two girls, and sighed faintly, I must get the silver taels from the eldest uncle tomorrow.
If she leaves the Tang Mansion, she will have to take the two girls with her, lest they be bullied by the lobby sister in the Tang Mansion. But how will she make ends meet when she gets out?
"Yo! Brother Meng, guess who I saw? Hou Ye Xu shook a paper fan, looked back at General Meng who was walking casually behind him, and said with a thief smile on his face: "Brother Meng, you look at the broken tea shed...... The little girl in white sitting in the middle, do you know who she is? ”
"Have you seen her?" General Meng frowned and asked suspiciously.
"Well, yes! This girl still owes me a promise! Xu Houye smiled proudly, but he was thinking in his heart that she dared to release his pigeon that time, and it was strange to see that he didn't clean her up.
General Meng sighed, stared at Tang Shaohe not far away with a complicated mood, and said secretly: Why are you so careless? was actually bumped into by Brother Xu! (To be continued......)
