77. Meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law
After Bai Zhiru came to the door like this, Tang Mingqi obviously lost his patience. Originally, I wanted to raise my noble hand, so that I could leave a little thin noodles for Lord Bai in the court. Now that I see it, he has done this more and is merciful.
simply put aside his scruples, and directly drove Ling Shaotang back to Kyoto, and he personally presented the evidence to the court.
Half of the Huan Xiang, plus the corners of the clothes that are no more than an inch long and finger wide, as well as the testimony of the guys in Baicuilou, the physical witnesses are justified and well-founded, and it is easy to return this black pot to its original owner.
King Yu had a black face, looked at Tang Mingying, the concubine who was escorted to the court, and scolded: "You evil obstacle! Dare...... How dare you do such a wicked thing behind the back of this king! Don't go and ask Lord Bai for guilt! ”
Tang Mingying is just a fool, where has he seen this battle, he hurriedly got up and arched his hand towards the white adult: "It's Mingying's bastard, who has ruined Miss Bai's innocence, and Mingying is willing to include Miss Bai in the mansion!" ”
That's right, he's talking about Na! The concubine's acceptance!
Speaking of which, in fact, he can't be blamed for being uninteresting. because he has a wife in this house. The wife is still the youngest daughter of King Huainan, Xi Yu, although she is not the daughter of the Eight Classics, but she is also a county lord. Obviously, this Bai Zhiru cannot be on an equal footing with her.
When Lord Bai heard this, his beard trembled with anger: "You! You hurt my daughter like this, and you hurt my old man...... Hurt the old man......" Before he could say this, he saw him gasp sharply and suddenly fall to the ground.
"Quick! Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! The chief eunuch beside the saint was sharp-eyed, and he hurriedly commanded in his voice.
After making such a fuss, this saint naturally has no intention of discussing the court. He only frowned, waved his hand, and scattered the matter. Before leaving, he specially instructed this King Yu to appease this white lord with a good life.
Although this honorary king bows his head and says yes, he hates it in his heart! Obviously, today's incident was counted on the head of the saint, thinking that the saint was beating him like this.
In any case, this absurd farce has finally come to an end.
And Su Luan seemed to have lost her memory, and didn't say a word about the absurd farce a few days ago, Tang Mingqi had the heart to tell her, but she didn't have a chance to speak.
Two days later, Tang Mingqi received a letter from home. There is only one line on the letter, and the pen is vigorous and powerful, "The rumors have been dispersed, and they can be returned." ”
Is it homely? But now he doesn't want to return.
Putting down the letter, he looked out of the window into the courtyard, where his little lady was holding broken bean cakes and scattering them at her feet, and a flock of ducklings were fed around her, and one by one fluttering her wings followed her and looked down for food, and quacked at her from time to time.
He took out an empty scroll from the vase next to the desk, unfolded it, dipped the pen in ink, lightly traced it, and with a few strokes, a beautiful Danqing jumped on the paper.
After a while, he put down his pen and smiled self-deprecatingly.
The women of this ordinary family are all married and obeyed their husbands. And this one in his family seems to be doing everything from the heart. In the end, it's shocking, a little girl, but she doesn't want to kick him away all the time, as if he is in the way of her freedom.
Alas......
Just as he sighed, Su Luan leaned to the window with a smile: "Husband, do you think it's okay for us to hang a swing under that pergola?" ”
Her husband's name has become more and more pleasant recently, especially when she has something to ask for.
Tang Mingqi looked at her sparkling eyes, and glanced at the vine trellis twice: "Madame thinks it's good, it's natural." ”
He responded to this matter, so he naturally had to do it quickly. He first went up to the foot of the hill and found a piece of wood, and then he carefully polished the thorns from the corners, and then cut holes in the ends of the wood, and threaded a hemp rope the thickness of a thumb. He shook the end of the rope and hung it on the thickest and most stable wooden beam on the top of the pergola. tied a string of knots, and tugged hard, and then called out the little girl who was busy in the stove.
Su Luan came out to take a look and said in surprise: "It's done so quickly!" ”
"It's not easy for Madame to ask for something, so it's natural for a husband to move faster." Tang Mingqi replied.
Su Luan looked around the swing and looked at it, tiptoed, and sat down steadily.
Tang Mingqi pushed it playfully, and when he saw her swinging, he asked casually, "Why do you want to sit on the swing?" ”
Su Luan swayed gently, her pointed chin was slightly tilted, and there was a light smile on her lips, and she responded: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed that when I was a child, my grandmother accompanied me on the swing, and I laughed while swinging, and I woke up laughing......"
The corners of Tang Mingqi's mouth hooked slightly, he was really a fool who was easily satisfied, but it was such a small matter, and it was worth her to wake up with a smile.
"Since you miss your grandmother, why don't you go back?" Tang Mingqi's eyes were a little complicated and incomprehensible.
"Go back?" Su Luan smiled bitterly, "I can't go back...... Even if I go back, my grandmother is gone......"
The swing was swinging too fast, he couldn't see her face clearly, and he obviously heard her laughing, but that smile inexplicably made people feel distressed......
Huachuan Town, Cao's house.
Lin Yingying resignedly followed behind a mother-in-law and was taken all the way to Cao Yunmeng's boudoir from the back door.
Cao Yunmeng sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the maid behind her held an ivory comb in her hand, combing her long hair one by one.
Seeing people enter the house, Cao Yunmeng glanced at her from the bronze mirror: "I said Lin Yingying, you are really a waste." So you can't do the slightest thing, and you still have the face to come to me? ”
"Miss Cao, it's not that Yingying is useless, it's that cheap hooves...... She ......" Lin Yingying's face was flushed, and when she thought of the events of that day, she was speechless for a while.
Cao Yunmeng turned around, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
She ...... She ruined the life of my stupid husband with one kick! Now I'm hiding it from my in-laws, but how can I hide this! After a long time, I'm afraid that I will be the one who suffers! Miss Cao, at the beginning...... You gave me the idea, but now you've got to give me a hand! Lin Yingying snorted and cried, crying Cao Yunmeng for a while.
"I'll pull you?! How do I pull you? Cao Yunmeng glanced at her, and said with disgust, "I said Yingying, I didn't say you, this fool will be abolished, is it possible that you really plan to pass on the lineage for a fool?" ”
"You...... What do you mean by that? Lin Yingying was stunned when she heard this, and even forgot her tears.
"Heh, this fool can't do it, someone else can. I still need to talk about this kind of thing! Cao Yunmeng's eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled contemptuously, "Come on, for your hard work, I can't lose you, let people take you down to receive ten taels of silver, let's count it as two taels of silver." ”
Lin Yingying obviously didn't expect that this Miss Cao would ask her to steal ...... Stealing ......
She looked at the beautiful face in front of her in a daze, and her heart was slightly cold. She was so stupid that she would think of making a skin with a tiger. This Miss Cao family is obviously a snake and scorpion, and when she sees that she is useless, she will abandon her like a broken shoe. She even thought that this man would pull her......
"What's the matter, ten taels of silver, you're still not satisfied?" Lin Yingying ran out of patience, got up and walked to her step by step, and said to her ear, "Yingying, this person, you have to know the current affairs, and you can only live a long time if you see it, don't you say?" ”
Lin Yingying was excited, looked at her cold eyes, and hung her head busily: "What Miss Cao said is that I am stupid, I will leave, this will ......."
Cao Yunmeng glanced at her departing back and snorted: "It's really inappropriate to use waste!" ”
Her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes darkened, and she didn't know what to think about in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, April, the spring rain continued, and the period of Ai Ai was a few days, and it did not stop until Qingming.
On the day of Qingming, Su Luan got up early in the morning, prepared the paper money for wine and food with red eyes, carried the basket, and prepared to go up the mountain alone to pay respects.
As soon as he came out of the stove room, he saw Tang Mingqi waiting under the eaves with an oil-paper umbrella.
Su Luan was stunned: "You...... It's ......"
"Naturally, I went up the mountain with you, and I should also go to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, after all, it was thanks to them back then." Tang Mingqi said very sincerely, so sincerely that she couldn't refuse.
The two walked up the mountain road one after the other. Walking to a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, Su Luan stopped, his eyes fell on the two loess bags overgrown with weeds not far away, his eyes were sad, but he smiled: "They are there!" You see, how pitiful, it was obviously an accident, but it was unlucky, and he was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, and he refused to even give the stone tablet and wooden plaque to ......"
Tang Mingqi held the handle of the umbrella tightly, looked at the little girl beside her, stubbornly red eyes, and sniffed one by one, but she was so angry that she didn't shed a single tear.
She put the basket on the ground, first cleared all the grass around the grave bag with her bare hands, then wiped her hands clean, and laid the rice and fish in the basket on the bluestone in front of the earthen bag.
Regardless of the rain and muddy, she lit incense, knelt on the muddy ground, let the mud stain her clothes, and did not frown, and kowtowed three times before getting up. She squatted in front of the grave, where there was a stone burning pit, and she looked like it had been a few years, and she took out a handful of hay from the basket, and lit a fire, and added paper money one by one.
While burning, he muttered in a low voice: "Daddy, mother, Luan'er has come to see you." Luan'er is not filial, and I can't do my filial piety for the second elder of the Lin family for you. However, they are afraid that I am not uncommon for this little filial piety. Don't blame Luan'er...... By the way, mother, Luan'er is married. Surprised, wasn't it, I was shocked myself! If you are here, you will definitely make a wedding dress for Luan'er yourself, maybe on the day Luan'er gets married, you will still shrink in your father's arms and cry your nose, but it's a pity that ......"
Seeing that the last piece of paper money was quickly rolled away by the tongue of fire, she said softly: "But don't worry, you and your father, your husband will treat me...... Very good......"
The last sentence was very light, so light that it was hard to hear.
Tang Mingqi handed her the umbrella, lifted her robe and just wanted to kneel, but she grabbed her, she shook her head at him: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's rainy, it's too dirty, you don't have to be so ...... for me"
She couldn't bear it, she was afraid that if he really knelt down, she couldn't convince herself anymore that this person was just playing with her.
In her complicated eyes, Tang Mingqi couldn't kneel down after all. In the end, he just bowed deeply to the tomb bag three times: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, son-in-law Tang Mingqi, I will protect Luan'er for the second elder in the future......"
Lifetime.
