It wasn't until many years later that Tan Wenshi gradually grew up, was born with a good appearance and a clever mind, and relied on his relationship with the patriarch of the Ning clan to work under Master Ning San, working hard every step of the way, and the family gradually regained its former vitality.

This Tan's mother has suffered for most of her life, and in the past, among her relatives, she didn't even have the confidence to speak loudly, but now she has finally worked hard, and she doesn't know how to deal with herself after she has money and status.

In addition, Mother Tan's anger that she has been holding back for so many years is finally smooth, and she has to show off her son everywhere, treat herself as an old lady from a rich family, and put on music everywhere.

Tan's mother didn't know that her son could marry Xue Qianqian, Xue Qianqian's father ate the emperor's grain, Tan Wenshi married Xue Qianqian home, and he must have a good voice. Mother Tan understands this reason, but because this reason is not conducive to Mother Tan, Mother Tan naturally doesn't want to admit it.

So, Tan's mother talked about filial piety and filial piety all day long, and said that the Tan family pays the most attention to three obedience and four virtues, since the daughter-in-law married into the Tan family, she is a member of the Tan family, she has to abide by the rules of the Tan family, take her husband as the sky, and serve her mother-in-law and husband wholeheartedly, which makes Xue Qianqian very annoying.

In short, Mother Tan not only wants to touch the light of this high-ranking daughter-in-law, but also hopes that Xue Qianqian can be a little low in front of her like a daughter-in-law from a small family. In fact, Mother Tan is not an extremely difficult kind of person, if her daughter-in-law is more respectful and obedient, Mother Tan can also be sent away. But where is Xue Qianqian a sweet-mouthed person?

Xue Qianqian has not been married for a long time, so she has not really had any conflicts with Tan's mother, but she never said a soft word to Tan's mother, which made Tan's mother sulk.

When Xue Qianqian was about to walk to Tan's mother's house, she happened to glance at the moon in the sky, and saw the sky in the middle of the moon.

Xue Qianqian asked what time it was, and then asked if the master hadn't come back yet, and then her face became more and more ugly, and after walking into the room, her tone was naturally a little stiff: "What's wrong with the old lady?" Is it okay to eat without eating? In front of her mother-in-law, although Xue Qianqian's tone was not domineering, it was by no means the kind of little low that Tan's mother wanted.

Mother Tan, whose face was already swollen and white, was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, and exhaled for a long time before she said unhappily: "Are you embarrassed to ask?" You're going to give me something to eat? I think you want to kill your mother-in-law! ”

Xue Qianqian replied angrily: "I was negligent for a while and forgot that the old lady couldn't eat hair, it was my fault." But how could the old lady herself forget? Did you really eat it? ”

"You...... You still dare to talk back to me......" Mother Tan was so angry that she coughed straight, lying on the drowning basin and spitting several times, and Mrs. Zhu, who was holding the drowning basin, suddenly "sighed", suddenly picked up the drowning basin, and exclaimed: "Look, madam, you made the old lady so angry that she coughed up blood!" Zhu Pozi almost threw the pestle on Xue Qianqian's face.

The evil anger in the drowning basin surged, Xue Qianqian almost didn't vomit, and rudely waved her hand to push Zhu Pozi away, and the drowning basin was almost knocked over! Xue Qianqian was so disgusted that she closed her eyes, and said to Tan's mother a little coldly: "I was just negligent for a while, I didn't mean to hurt the old lady, don't be angry, the old lady is already in bad health, so as not to be angry with herself again." ”

Xue Qianqian added: "If you are still not feeling well, I will find a doctor to show you, anyway, I will pay the money." ”

Mother Tan was so angry that she threw something at Xue Qianqian's feet: "You...... Your daughter-in-law is also wicked! How dare you hurt your mother-in-law, and dare to talk to me with such an attitude! You're great when you have silver, aren't you? ”

Mother Tan brought out the words that she most often said in front of her daughter-in-law: "Do you still understand filial piety, do you understand the three obedience and four virtues, and do you understand that the husband is the sky?" Since you married into the Tan family, you are a member of the Tan family, you have to abide by the rules of the Tan family, and this is how you serve your mother-in-law? ”

Mother Tan was so angry that she shouted at Xue Qianqian: "You call me the aragonite!" Let him come over to see the good daughter-in-law he married, and let him see how his daughter-in-law his own mother! ”

Hearing Tan's mother mention Tan Wenshi, Xue Qianqian's only remaining good temper was gone, and she whispered unhappily: "I want to call him over too, but who knows where he is fooling around at this time!" ”

Mother Tan pointed at Xue Qianqian's nose in disbelief and scolded: "You, you...... How dare you say that about your husband! You're a daughter-in-law, you don't even know where your husband is, are you embarrassed to say?! Wenshi just vomited a few days ago, you don't follow him to serve, if he is unwell again, what face do you have to live! ”

Xue Qianqian sneered, and the laughter sounded extremely sarcastic: "If he is honest, I will naturally take care of his body with my heart, but if he has to die by himself, can he blame me?" ”

"Y-What are you talking about......?"

"Since the old lady is unwell, take a good rest, I won't disturb your rest."

Xue Qianqian left after speaking, Tan's mother was so angry that she couldn't stop panting, Tan's mother's loud exhalation and hazing sound spread throughout the courtyard, and at this moment, the maid next to the old lady came to report, saying that Tan Wenshi was just back.

Mother Tan didn't think about it, and immediately wailed loudly, and Mrs. Zhu also reacted instantly, howling and persuading on the side: "Old lady, old lady, don't think about it...... For the sake of the master, you can bear with it......"

Sure enough, Tan Wenshi immediately rushed in in a hurry, only to see that Mrs. Tan's face was swollen and white, and she was about to find death and life, and Mrs. Zhu was crying and persuading beside her, Tan Wenshi immediately rushed to Mrs. Tan's bedside and asked anxiously: "Mother, what's wrong, what's wrong......

Mrs. Tan didn't speak, she just cried, and Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears and said, "Master, don't ask...... The old lady doesn't want you to be upset...... Don't ask......"

Tan Wenshi was anxious and reprimanded: "Mrs. Zhu, say it quickly, you can't hide anything from me!" ”

Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears again and said, "Since the master asked me to say it, I said it...... The old lady has a bad spleen and stomach recently, and the doctor said that she can't eat hair, and the wife also knows, but the wife actually let the old lady eat the shrimp and crab sent by the wife's mother's family for dinner, and the wife's mother's family is powerful, and the old lady didn't dare to disobey the wife's wishes, so she had to eat ......"

"What? Mother ate hair? Tan Wenshi's face was extremely ugly, and he sat on the edge of Mrs. Tan's bed and patted Mrs. Tan's back while worrying: "Mother, are you uncomfortable?" Is it better now? ”

Mrs. Tan just cried, and Mrs. Zhu said next to her: "The old lady vomited for a while before stopping, but the old lady came over again and said a lot of unpleasant things, which made the old lady so angry that she didn't want to live......

Tan Wenshi's brows furrowed tightly: "Unpleasant? What's so unpleasant? ”

Mrs. Zhu said: "I heard my wife say with my own ears, if the lord didn't have her, she wouldn't even be a fart, and if the old lady didn't have her, she would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago, and scolded the old lady for being old and immortal!" How can a daughter-in-law be like this, not only to harm her mother-in-law's life, but also to dare to insult like this...... The old lady has endured it for a long time for her lord......"

Mrs. Tan took Tan Wenshi's hand and said earnestly: "Son, it doesn't matter if my mother is uncomfortable or not, no matter how she scolds my mother, my mother shouldn't have heard it, even if she wants to kill her mother, as long as she is good to you, my mother can not care......"

Tan Wenshi immediately interrupted: "Mother, don't say that. ”

Mrs. Tan said endlessly: "But she actually ...... I dare to scold you in front of my mother! Mother feels sorry for you...... The son is the mother's flesh and blood, how can the mother watch the child be wronged? Even in the most difficult time of our family, my mother didn't allow you to suffer the slightest grievance, how can I watch you be angry with your daughter-in-law now? ”

Tan Wenshi sighed and said gloomily: "My mother has worked hard to raise me all these years, and we finally have today's day, my mother must live well, let me serve you for a few years to live a good life, and repay your kindness for raising me." Don't worry, I will never let others hurt my mother. ”

Old Madam Tan immediately waved her hand: "No...... No...... Wenshi, don't care about me, you can live well yourself, even if your mother is killed, as long as your mother sees that you are living comfortably, your mother can also look at you......"

"No, old lady, you can't think like this......" Mrs. Zhu immediately howled and pounced on Mrs. Tan, turned her head to Tan Wenshi and said, "Master, the old lady is afraid that you will be embarrassed, but you can't really ignore the old lady!" The old lady is your mother! Now that you are cornered by your wife's bullying, you must make the decision for the old lady! ”

"Don't worry." Tan Wenshi whispered: "My mother is my closest person, and I will not abandon my mother no matter what." After speaking, Tan Wenshi strode out and went to Xue Qianqian's room.

At this time, Xue Qianqian was sitting in the room, and under her feet was Tan Wenshi's favorite ancient porcelain, which had become fragments at the moment.

After returning from Mrs. Tan, Xue Qianqian, who had already endured it to the point of going crazy, smashed Tan Wenshi's favorite gadgets clean without thinking about it. The maid said that she would clean it up before Tan Wenshi saw it, and Xue Qianqian didn't let her, Xue Qianqian just wanted Tan Wenshi to see it, and she wanted to give Tan Wenshi a threat.

Just now, the ghost on Mrs. Tan's side cried wolf, and Xue Qianqian heard it all.

Xue Qianqian just sat motionless, waiting for Tan Wenshi to come over.

"Whoa", Tan Wenshi suddenly pushed open the door, his face extremely uncertain.

Tan Wenshi entered the house, the maids all lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe, but Xue Qianqian didn't seem to see Tan Wenshi at all, and picked up the female worker next to her, as if she had been concentrating on embroidery, but she didn't forget to stretch out her foot and deliberately kicked the pieces under her feet.

The shards collided with a crisp clanging sound, Tan Wenshi waved his hand, and the maids immediately fled here happily, Xue Qianqian still ignored Tan Wenshi, her expression was extremely arrogant.

Tan Wenshi put something on the table next to Xue Qianqian, and didn't speak, and Xue Qianqian didn't speak. Xue Qianqian is very confident, after all, whether it is a quarrel or a cold war, Xue Qianqian has never been afraid of anyone since she was a child, anyway, Tan Wenshi didn't dare to beat her, even if Tan Wenshi really dared, Xue Fu would not let Tan Wenshi go!

Xue Qianqian was waiting to fight at any time, but Tan Wenshi lowered his body and went to pick up the fragments of the soles of Xue Qianqian's feet.

Xue Qianqian sneered, didn't she just settle accounts, Xue Qianqian didn't mind adding more fire to Tan Wenshi, and deliberately stepped on Tan Wenshi's hand when she stretched out her foot.

She just deliberately wanted to block Tan Wenshi, but Tan Wenshi didn't hide, when Xue Qianqian realized that she had stepped on Tan Wenshi, she couldn't help but retract her strength, Tan Wenshi couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and there were already blood stains dripping on the broken porcelain pieces.

Xue Qianqian really didn't expect it, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked coldly and eagerly: "Why don't you hide?" ”

"I didn't expect you to actually step on it." Tan Wenshi's voice sounded a little pitiful, Xue Qianqian couldn't get angry all of a sudden, pulled Tan Wenshi's hand up, looked at the wound, and saw that he had cut a half-inch-long wound, and the wound was bubbling out.

Looking at the endless stream of blood, Xue Qianqian even had some remorse on her face, and hurriedly went to get the gauze and plaster in the cabinet. Tan Wenshi didn't let her apply medicine to herself, just wiped the blood and then wrapped the wound, grinned and said, "I'm a rough person, it's okay to get a little injured, as long as you can dissipate your anger." ”

"Fool ......" Xue Qianqian's face suddenly became aggrieved, and she was really angry now, staring at Tan Wenshi, not wanting to talk to Tan Wenshi.

Tan Wenshi took the thing he had just put on the table, carefully opened it, and said: "There was a beauty in the ancient Shen Kingdom, called Yao Ji, who was deeply favored by King Shen. It took me a lot of effort to find this Shen Fei incense that is rumored to be used by Yao Ji, do you like it? ”

Xue Qianqian looked over in surprise, and saw that they were a few small spices that could be placed directly in the sachet, which were very round, even from such a distance, Xue Qianqian could smell the rich fragrance.

Tan Wenshi said softly and considerately: "Didn't you say a few days ago that when you went to your eldest sister's house, you smelled your eldest sister's sachet very good." I asked the boss of Wanxianglou to find a good fragrance for me, it is not enough to be superior, it must be worthy of you, so the boss will recommend this Shenfei fragrance to me. ”

Speaking of this, Tan Wenshi sighed and said, "In order to mix this incense, the boss dragged me for three hours!" This is made of peonies, roses, patchouli, and plum blossoms, I don't know how to smell it, you can taste it. The boss said, the taste of patchouli may be a bit strong, if you don't like it, I'll go to him tomorrow to adjust it. ”

Xue Qianqian looked at Tan Wenshi in a daze, she didn't care about tasting the fragrance at all, frowned and muttered, "You were going to ......"

Tan Wenshi smiled and apologized: "Actually, I was going to send someone back to tell you not to wait for me to have dinner, but I wanted to surprise you again, so I didn't tell you." ”

Xue Qianqian turned her face away, snorted, and asked sullenly: "You didn't come back with me today, it turned out that you were going to Wanxianglou?" ”

"Hmm." Tan Wenshi nodded and said, "However, before going to Wanxiang Building, I also went to the third master. In order to help the third master push the pear and fall satin, I chased Yao Sanxing for a long time, and Yao Sanxing agreed to enter hundreds of horses, alas...... This is too much different from what I and the third master expected, and the third master called me and lost his temper with me. ”

Xue Qianqian's eyes couldn't help but show a distressed look, only to hear Tan Wenshi say again: "Wanxianglou, who came out of the third master's place, has stayed until now, and has not even eaten dinner, and is so hungry that her chest is close to her back, and she originally planned to come back to eat something." Tan Wenshi smirked a few times and whispered, "As a result, I was called by my mother to be trained again." ”

"I ......" Xue Qianqian couldn't even take care of her grievances, she just wanted to feel distressed and explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Tan Wenshi grabbed her lips and kissed her gently, Tan Wenshi let go of her, frowned and comforted: "I know that you have been wronged, my mother is old, and she suffered too much in the early years, and her temperament is not very good, which makes you angry." ”

Xue Qianqian was almost about to cry, desperately holding back her tears, Tan Wenshi held her whole person in his arms, in such an early winter weather, the couple hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's temperature, Tan Wenshi said gently: "I know, before marrying me, you have never suffered such a grievance." I'm a useless man, and I've made you suffer a lot of grievances by following me. ”

"Don't say that......" Xue Qianqian interrupted with a sniffle.

Tan Wenshi became more and more emotional: "In the final analysis, I am just a subordinate who runs errands for the Ning family, and the people in the Ning family don't look down on me at all." And Ning's is a merchant, no matter how rich he is, he can't compare with your father. Therefore, I was fortunate to be able to marry you for three lifetimes, but I really wronged you. ”

"Don't talk about it...... Xue Qianqian sobbed and buried her head in Tan Wenshi's arms, and finally cried aggrievedly.

Tan Wenshi also sobbed a few times, and whispered: "I don't know that if you marry me, those sisters and sisters in your family all look down on you because of me, and your father doesn't pay attention to you because of this...... Seriously, I hate myself for not being able to bring you happiness and hurt you like this. ”

Tan Wenshi said again: "Qianqian, alas...... Do you know? I wish I could be the kind of rich kid with fine clothes and fine food, so that you can live a good life with me. But I'm not, so I can only risk my life to climb up, only if I do well under the third master, can I get ahead and let you regain face in front of the Xue family. ”

Xue Qianqian cried and said, "Wenshi...... We are husband and wife, no matter ...... No matter the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will follow you, and I will never complain......"

Tan Wenshi hugged Xue Qianqian emotionally, Xue Qianqian struggled to get up from his embrace, stroked Tan Wenshi's tired face, and said earnestly: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to my father tomorrow and ask my father to intercede with you in front of Yao Sanxing, don't be afraid...... As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you......"

Tan Wenshi kissed Xue Qianqian a few times, and couldn't help but shed tears, sighing: "Alas...... Seriously, it's really tiring to work outside, but luckily I have you at home, and when I think of you, I feel that everything I have paid for is worth it. ”

Xue Qianqian hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of your family's affairs for you, so you are so busy outside, but you have to be distracted for the sake of your family." Don't worry, from tomorrow, I will definitely serve my mother more attentively, and this kind of thing will never happen again today......"

Tan Wenshi touched Xue Qianqian's hair, suddenly smiled with a crying face, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, I'm almost starving." ”

Xue Qianqian also laughed out loud and said, "I've been waiting for you to come home, and I haven't eaten yet...... Wait, I'll call the kitchen to cook. ”

Tan Wenshi responded gently, nodded with a smile, and sent Xue Qianqian out of the door with infinite tenderness, then turned his head, under the candlelight, next to Concubine Shen's incense, there was only a face full of calculation and indifference, which made people feel cold after seeing it.

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Wenshi called Du Zhengshuo over.

While talking about the things in the shop, the two walked to the side, and walked to a place to avoid others, Tan Wenshi said in a low voice: "I thought about it last night, Du Qiutong's passing through the door, in fact, you might as well do it at another time." ”

"This ......" Du Zhengshuo's eyes rolled, and he asked cautiously: "Tan Ye said before, wait for the summer Qiutong and Lu to do things, but now Tan Ye wants to change the time, is it to push back?" ”

Tan Wenshi said: "No, it's just that I think about it, I'm very busy next summer, and I may not be able to find time." Besides, she's not far from Jilu anyway, and it doesn't matter if it's a few months away. ”

Du Zhengshuo, who understood, smiled: "I see, I see...... Then it's better to do it as soon as possible! I'm going to talk to my sister and tell her to get ready now! ”

Tan Wenshi said kindly: "It's not so urgent, just a little earlier, spring." Also, you arrange, I'm going to meet her and have a few words with her. ”

"Done! I'll send my sister to Tan Ye! Du Zhengshuo nodded and said with a smile.

In the morning, Dong Zizhen and Cuiyu went to find Master Liu, and sure enough, as Ning Ningqing said, as soon as they got there, they saw that Gu Xuesong was already there.

Master Liu is a woman who studied under the famous florist Lin Hanhai since she was a child, and later married Lin Hanhai's nephew Lin Jingguo.

Lin Jingguo served as the emperor's teacher in his early years, but later resigned, and now teaches in the Gu Academy, which is also the reason why Gu Xuesong is familiar with Master Liu.

He was taught by a famous craftsman and had an emperor's husband, so Master Liu has been respected as a master and enjoyed a good reputation since he became an independent portal.

Master Liu took a look at Dong Zizhen and Cuiyu, as well as the "merit consummation" brought by these two people, and couldn't help asking: "What about Ning Dangjia?" Why didn't you come? ”

Cuiyu replied respectfully: "My girl originally planned to come directly after coming out of the Xue Mansion yesterday, but she didn't expect to catch the cold, so she fell ill directly, and she is still lying in bed now." ”

Master Liu couldn't help frowning, nodded with some regret, Cuiyu took out Ningxia Qing's letter from her sleeve, handed it to Master Liu with both hands, and said, "This is a handwritten letter from my girl, let me present it to Master Liu on my behalf." ”
