Chapter 15: The Tang Mansion (2)
Tang Bu's carriage stopped outside the bamboo forest, which was very luxurious. The cart was drawn by four white horses of the same size, each fat and healthy, with shiny coats. The carriage is very large and can accommodate six people at the same time. The interior of the car is exquisitely furnished, with thick and soft cushions covering the seats and interior walls. There is also a small table in the car for tea and snacks.
After getting into the car, Tang Buxi sat face-to-face with Stealing Jade, but did not talk. But the four servants did not ride with them, but each rode a horse, and guarded the left and right. In such a comfortable environment, Stealing Jade only felt a little sleepy. She couldn't help but stretch her hand wide, but she didn't want to pull the wound on her shoulder again, and she grinned in pain. However, she didn't want Tang Bu to be surprised to hear and make fun of her, so she held back and didn't scream, but her expression was painful and hideous.
Tang Bujing, who was on the other side, was closing his eyes and recuperating, his thick eyelashes hanging down, like two delicate fans, casting shadows on his white jade-like face. The corners of his lips were raised, and he said in a lazy tone, "If it hurts, call it out." β
Stealing Jade's eyes widened in shock! He obviously closed his eyes, how could he know that he was pulling the wound and it hurt badly? So she couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know I'm in pain now?" β
Tang Bu chuckled, still closing his eyes: "I just heard the sound of your yawning and the sound of your clothes 'rustling', I knew that you must be stretching." And you've got a wound on your shoulder, and it's only been ten days now, so it's certainly not healing much better. Such a drastic stretching action must be involved. β
Stealing Yu couldn't help but sigh that this fox was indeed smart, and his observation was really nuanced. So she pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and leaned on the inner wall of the carriage as if Tang was not surprised, intending to take a nap. But after a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he lifted the curtain used to block the light, looked at the scenery outside the window, and exclaimed loudly: "Hey, Tang Bufu, where are you going to take me?" This is clearly not the way back to Haoying Mountain! β
"Who said I'm going to send you back to the Lodge?" Tang Bujing slowly opened his eyes, which were full of playful smiles, "The residual poison in your body has not been cleared, this is not a good thing." My Tang family started by using poison, and naturally I am also an expert in detoxification, so I decided to bring you back to the house to help you completely remove the remaining poison. β
"But, didn't you say that Master and Sister are very worried about me? I should have rushed back as soon as possible to put them at ease. Stealing Jade was a little anxious, and her voice was raised.
But Tang was not surprised, but he still looked lazy. He raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. They are relieved that you are with me. What's more, I have already asked Ling Xiushu to send a letter to the owner of the village, telling her that you are recuperating from my injuries. β
Hearing him say this, Stealing Yu had no choice but to accept his fate: "Okay, I'll go back with you." Anyway, your Tang family has a big business, and the most important thing you lack is money. When I go to your house, I will eat more ginseng, deer antler velvet, bird's nest, and Ganoderma lucidum, so that you can know what it means to 'please God is easy to send God'! β
Tang Bu looked at the stealing jade with a smile and said; "As long as Yu'er likes it, she can eat as much as she wants, and she can live as long as she wants, it doesn't matter."
Stealing Yu looked at him as an indifferent scoundrel, and couldn't help but tremble: "Why did you start calling me 'Yu'er'?" It's like I know you very well. Only Master and Sister call me that. β
"Oh?" Tang Bu was surprised to hear this, and smiled more and more brightly, "Don't you like it when I call you like this, Yu'er?" β
He deliberately said those two words slowly and heavily, making it clear that I was happy to call them that. Stealing jade suddenly felt a little frustrated, so he had to wave his hand and said; "Forget it, it's up to you."
A hint of pride flashed on Tang Bu's face, and then he closed his eyes and rested.
The carriage went all the way, and after about an hour, it came to the Tang Mansion mansion.
The Tang family is worthy of being a big family that rivals the wealth, and just one faΓ§ade is decorated with extraordinary momentum. The jade thief got out of the carriage with the shadow in his arms, and was immediately shocked by the magnificent momentum. Although she has known Tang Bujing for many years, because she rarely goes down the mountain, Tang Mansion has never been here. Now take a closer look at this mansion, the materials here are all excellent and hard-to-find materials, but they are definitely different from the "nouveau riche" image of the Wangyuanwai Mansion in Anping Town, and the Tang Mansion is definitely noble, generous, and magnificent. The jade thief followed Tang Bu up the stairs and passed through the towering gate. The two people dressed as family members immediately bowed and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi and Jade Girl." β
Tang Bu was surprised to steal the jade and walked all the way inside. Stealing jade looked around, admiring the beautiful scenery of Suzhou garden. The gallery is heavy, the grass is green, and the birdsong is tactful, it is really an excellent house, and it seems that the people of the Tang family are born to know how to enjoy. Stealing Yu followed Tang Bujing into an extremely spacious and bright hall, where many people were sitting, old and young, men and women. Seeing the two of them enter, a woman dressed in goose yellow clothes immediately came. The woman was extraordinarily beautiful, with a smile and a touching charm between her eyebrows. Take a closer look, she looks five points similar to Tang Bujing. The woman in yellow intimately took the hand of the jade thief and asked Tang Bu surprised: "Don't be surprised, this is the jade stealing girl." β
"Yes, second sister." Tang Bu replied with a smile, and then introduced to Stealing Jade, "Yu'er, this is my second sister, Tang Huaning." β
Hearing this, Stealing Jade hurriedly saluted: "Stealing Jade has seen the second lady." β
"Oh, good sister, what are you doing with this false courtesy?" Tang Hua was disgusted, and hurriedly helped the stealing jade. She is still smiling, and she can see that her personality is very cheerful and easy-going. Tang Huaning looked at the stealing jade up and down, left and right, and couldn't help but praise in his mouth: "Tut-tut, my sister is really delicate and lovely." Not to mention a man, even a woman of mine can't help but be tempted when she sees it. β
Being praised like this, Rao is used to stealing jade on weekdays, and now his face is crimson, and he has a kind of beauty of "stealing is not shy". She lowered her red face and said a little embarrassedly: "Second Miss......"
Tang Hua Ning blushed when he saw that the jade was stealing, and he was even more excited. She reached out and pinched the stolen jade's smooth face, and said with a smile: "Oh, my sister is so cute." β
Tang Buxing on the side always had a smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. He pulled the stealing jade to his side and said with a smile: "Okay, second sister, Yu'er is thin-skinned, but she can't stand such a joke from you." As he spoke, he turned to stealing jade, "Come, I'll introduce you to the rest of my family." β
After that, Stealing Yu met Master Tang, Mrs. Tang, and Tang Xiangrong, the third lady of the Tang family. When Mr. Tang was young, he was also a handsome and extraordinary man, and he had been in the limelight for many years. Now that most of the Tang family's business has been handed over to Tang Bujing, the old man is happy to be idle, and his body has begun to grow slightly. Mrs. Tang looks very young, her skin is well-maintained, and she looks noble and elegant. Just looking at the appearance of the Tang family's sisters and brothers, I also know that she must have been smiling and captivating back then. Tang Xiangrong is different from Tang Huaning, she is very gentle and quiet, and when she saw the stealing jade, she just smiled gently, giving people indescribable comfort. The eldest lady of the Tang family married Saibei far away and did not return to Ning, so she didn't see the jade. Although Tang Huaning has also married, her husband's family is in the capital, not far from the Tang Mansion. And according to Tang Bu's words, Tang Huaning is the best at detoxification. Inviting her back this time is also to completely remove the residual poison from the jade stealing body.
Stealing jade was arranged to live in the small building of the Tang Mansion. This small courtyard is very elegant, and it is adjacent to the artificial lake "Ningbi Lake" in the house, the scenery is beautiful, and it is used by the Tang Mansion to entertain distinguished guests. Moreover, the small building of Jiyin is also the closest to Tang Bujing's residence "Shaofeng Water Pavilion".
The jade thief was taken to the small building where he was lushly planted with many precious flowers and plants. Although it has entered autumn, it does not show the color of decay at all, and it is the best among flowers and plants. The courtyard is divided into two wings, east and west, the east wing is the master bedroom and equipped with a study; The west wing is a warm pavilion, which is used for entertainment and enjoyment. If you walk along the corridor in front of the door, you can go all the way to the "Moon Reflecting Pavilion" in the middle of the lake. Two maidservants, dressed as maidservants, were already waiting there. The girl in white clothes and with a slender figure knew that she was the bamboo girl among the four maids who followed Tang Bujing; There is also a round-faced maid in a pink shirt, with a smile on her face, and she is very cute. When the two saw the jade stealing, they asked for peace one after another: "The maid has seen the jade girl." β
