Chapter 49: I want to apprentice
"Brother, eat this cake quickly, I made it myself." Tang hurriedly changed the subject.
Tang Xiu knew that the Tang clan was still hesitating now, so he didn't say anything more, and ate with peace of mind, because he knew that his sister had always thought far and was very assertive, and she would definitely be able to think about it.
Dong Mingxuan naturally knows the rules here, but he stands in the position of being a stepfather, and it is not easy to say much, it is wrong to say too much, and it is wrong to say too little, it is better to pretend that he does not understand.
What he values more is what Bai Jiaojiao thinks, whether he also imagines having been to the capital, after all, in the capital. There is no need to worry about food, drink, and clothing.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't understand what they were saying, but he felt that this uncle was not as good an uncle as he seemed. I always felt that this man had some calculations.
Everyone has something on their minds, but it's very quiet.
"How long is my brother here?" Tang asked.
"It's not going to be a few days, it's just that my mother asked me to come and ask you, see how you are doing, I will go back in a few days, there are still many things waiting for me to do in the capital." Tang Xiu said, there are indeed not many days
When Tang heard Tang Xiu say this, she didn't say anything more, she still thought about it with peace of mind these days.
"Then brother, you can live in peace. There aren't many empty houses in the family, so you can live with Qingfeng. Tang said.
"This is Qingfeng, he is really a good boy, he looks very wet and gentle, and he is not much better in the capital." Tang Xiu praised.
"Uncle is polite, you are really ashamed to say this." Qingfeng said embarrassedly.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's really good." Tang Xiu said seriously.
Because it was evening, Tang Xiu came in a panic and looked at the dust, so the Tang family asked them to go to sleep quickly, and if there was anything, they would talk about it the next day.
At night, Dong Mingxuan asked when he saw Tang's tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? ”
Tang was startled by the sudden voice, and then thought that it was Dong Mingxuan who said, so he put his head on Dong Mingxuan's shoulder and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know if I should send Yiyi to the capital and let her live with her uncle." ”
When Dong Mingxuan heard Tang say this, he knew that Tang really regarded him as his own talent.
"What do you think? What do you want Yiyi to do? ”
"I don't know that my heart is very messy, I want Yiyi to live a better life, and I don't need to worry about food and clothing, but I can't give her this, especially in recent years, she is getting older, and she is about to say goodbye, but in this mountain, there are only a few people in Sili and Eight Villages, and none of them are worthy of her. I can't bear to waste my whole life in this village, but I don't know what to do. Tang said distressedly.
"You. Thinking like this now, have you ever asked Yiyi's opinion? Dong Mingxuan hugged Tang hard, and then asked.
"I asked her before, she never wanted to go, but I really don't want to delay her life, this is a big thing for a lifetime, in this village in the future, it won't take long for her to become old and ignorant, because although this place is more comfortable, it is really not suitable for her, Yiyi is so smart, only outside can she live better, this mountain hinders her."
Tang continued, now very entangled, because she really hopes that her daughter will get better and better, not like her, she is willing to stay here when she meets a really good person, but the meaning is different, she meets a good person in this mountain.
Dong Mingxuan won't say much about this kind of thing, as a stepfather, it's really hard for him to say anything, if Bai Jiaojiao stays here, he will raise it, if Bai Jiaojiao leaves, then he will let her go.
"Sleep, let's ask Yiyi tomorrow." Dong Mingxuan said.
"How do I sleep? But I think my brother should have some difficulty in speaking this time, so he needs a girl. ”
Downe said, "How is this good? Let's ask Yiyi's opinion, wait for him to speak. It's not too late for me to do it, anyway, my brother will live here these days, so let's talk about it then. ”
Saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, turned his back to Dong Mingxuan, and stopped talking.
Dong Mingxuan didn't speak anymore, but he didn't fall asleep.
The next day, in the early morning, the Tang family got up early, cleaned up and started to make breakfast, Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng, they also got up one after another. Tang Shi was not resting very well because he was thinking about things all night, and when he saw Bai Jiaojiao's comfortable appearance, he looked at Bai Jiaojiao several times without saying anything.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you always look at me? Bai Jiaojiao asked suspiciously.
Bai Jiaojiao felt very strange, she didn't know what happened to her mother today, she kept looking at her, could it be that she was very strange today?
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel like my daughter has grown up." Tang quickly retracted his gaze and said.
Seeing that Tang Xiu also came out, he hurriedly condoled.
"How was my brother's rest yesterday?" Tang raised his head and asked Tang Xiu.
"Very good, very good, sure enough, the village is more comfortable, there are not so many noisy sounds." Tang Xiu said with a smile.
"Then wash your hands and have breakfast." Tang said.
Although Bai Jiaojiao is a little afraid of his uncle, it is really that this uncle gives her too terrifying feeling, her strength is so great, she is extremely scary, she can get started at every turn, and her subordinates are not merciful.
The family sat peacefully at the table and ate, and this meal was especially quiet.
Tang didn't speak, Bai Jiaojiao also ate quietly, Qingfeng and Dong Mingxuan have always been not talkative. It felt extraordinarily quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own business.
Tang Xiudao didn't think so, after all, those who came out of a big family like them have always been silent and silent.
It's over!
Sister-in-law Da Lin and Holly looked inside through the door: "Sister Jiaojiao, Brother Qingfeng." It's time for us to go up the mountain, it's a good day. We can go early and come back early. ”
Bai Jiaojiao heard the noise, got up from the stool, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked out of the door to greet her.
Holly saw that there was a stranger she didn't know sitting in the room, so she asked casually: "Sister Jiaojiao, you have a guest at home." ”
"Well, that's my uncle from the capital." Bai Jiaojiao said indifferently.
"Ah, you're from the capital, isn't that an official master." Holly said in fuss.
In Holly, in addition to the people in the town, other people seem to them, especially if they heard that they are from the capital, they must be the official master, anyway, they can't afford to mess with the big family.
"Not at all, come in and wait for me." Bai Jiaojiao doesn't think so, in the eyes of modern people, life is equal, and no one is much noble, "When my brother finishes eating, we will go up the mountain together." ”
"Okay, let's not go in, we'll just wait outside." Holly looked up at the people inside and felt that it was better to stay outside.
In Holly's eyes, there is still some fear, after all, they have never stayed in the capital, and in a place like the capital, there are royal relatives everywhere, and a small five-grade is really nothing.
A family like Uncle Bai Jiaojiao is not a big official, just a small official of the fifth grade, who is fortunate to serve in the capital, and the family is also there, so it is not worth mentioning.
However, although these five-grade petty officials are nothing in the capital, they are all dignitaries and nobles, so this is incomparable. But in this town, it's really the sky.
The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't explain anymore, so she turned her head and entered the house, and continued to eat with a sigh. I want to hurry up and leave after eating, but I don't know why this meal is very depressing.
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao was in such a hurry, Tang said, "Your uncle is here today, otherwise you won't go to the mountain." ”
"Mother, the weather has been good in the past two days, and the medicinal herbs on the body don't wait for anyone, and after two days, they may be eaten by some animal, or they will be wilted, and they won't be able to sell at a good price." Bai Jiaojiao is naturally unwilling, this uncle looks intimate, and it is indeed weird.
Bai Jiaojiao refused and said, if she was to face this uncle at home, she would want to go out to the mountains to find medicinal herbs, and come more relaxed.
Tang wanted to stop it, but he felt that it was inappropriate and didn't know how to speak.
"Sister Jiao wants to go, you just let her go." Tang Xiu said to Tang Shi, his eyes were full of smiles, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his heart.
looks like a silly, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful character. Bai Jiaojiao changed Tang Xiu's boundaries in her heart.
When Tang heard his brother say this, he didn't say much, "Go, pay attention to safety, and come back early." ”
"Okay mother, uncle, rest more. I'll go to the mountains first. Bai Jiaojiao said that she didn't have a good impression of this uncle, and she always felt that there was a strangeness that couldn't be said.
"Brother, is there something wrong with you coming this time?" When Bai Jiaojiao left, Tang asked.
"Why do you ask that?" Tang Xiu looked up at the Tang family, he always knew that his sister was a very smart girl, and she still was.
"It's just weird. Is there something going on at home? Tang continued to ask.
"There's something that needs a girl." Tang Xiu said in vain.
As soon as Tang heard her brother say this, her heart instantly fell to the bottom, and she felt that her brother's visit this time must be imperative.
"That... Do you have to be attached to it? She's still young. "Tang's heart is a little like ashes.
"I don't want to do this either, you two are lonely, but I can't help it, there is really no suitable child for me at home. The eldest girl and the second girl in my family have already said that they are married, they are all good families, they really can't be pushed away, and those children who are born are really not worthy of those families. I really can't send a child out there, right? Although he is a concubine, after all, the child is a main room..."Tang Xiu sat on the stool next to him and said his difficulties.
"I, I... I just can't bear it, that's not the best. Tang covered her stomach with her hands, some of her breathlessness was a little heavy, she knew that she was too excited, so she quickly took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Don't worry, I won't treat Yiyi badly. I, who is an uncle, although I don't love her very much, can be down-to-earth to her. I have my own dead heart, but it's also for the sake of good. Tang Xiu sat down on the stool, took the water glass in his hand and said.
Tang was stunned for a while, she really didn't know what to do, she knew that her brother would not come in vain.
"Whose child is that? What is the child's character? "Tang gave up the struggle and did not have to worry about food and clothing, which is indeed a very good condition.
"It's just to hit the child next door to your mother-in-law's house. The children in Lord Feng's family are very promising, and others look at them as hanging, this is a person with great ability, and he is a good child. Tang Xiu was relieved when he saw that his sister was relieved.
"That's? That Feng Rui? The school-age child in Lord Feng's family should only be Feng Rui's child. When Tang heard that it was Feng Rui's child, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was indeed a good child.
