Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mercy is willing to be a concubine!
The woman's arms were tightly wrapped around the man's waist, and Tang Que was slightly stunned and understood that what she said should be about buying slaves that day.
"Sister Lan has never been out, I'm afraid that she won't have a good eye and buy the wrong person, so I told her to ask you first. Although this house is not big, there must be a few subordinates to take care of it", the poisonous widow snuggled in Tang Que's arms and explained in a low voice: "I really don't mean to force you."
Supporting a huge family business alone as a woman, the poisonous widow has always had a hard temperament in her bones, Tang Que knew about it for a long time, if she didn't really care about herself now, why would she explain it like this.
Since the crossing, in addition to Tang Zhang's two families, Tang Que has the most contact with the poisonous widow and Sister Lan, and these two people are very good to him, Tang Que is not Mu Shi, and he has long had feelings for them, although until now it is difficult for him to clearly distinguish which kind of relationship has the most ingredients, but it is undeniable that the importance of these two people to him is second only to his parents.
"It's over, so why do you bother with it?" , Tang Que comforted and stretched out his hand to gently pat the woman's back, but he didn't want to talk about it anymore, but changed the topic and said: "It's not that you will come after the spring planting is busy, why delay until this time?" ”。
"I ...... I am busy collecting the land in the village, and I will live in the city for a long time."
What he said made Tang Que puzzled, "Oh? ”,
"The fields in the village are not my property, I have always helped Uncle Siniang to manage them", with the woman's eloquent explanation, Tang Que realized that although the fields around Zhuangzi were in the name of the poisonous widow, in fact, the real owner was Zhao County Lieutenant, "Uncle Siniang's family is not good at economic livelihood, plus my uncle is an official, my grandmother's family was originally a poor family, speaking of which, these fields and properties were purchased by my uncle after entering the yamen, so that people know that it is always bad." Because of this, it is entrusted to me in my name. ”
This statement is clear, those lands were purchased by Zhao County Lieutenant with "gray income", and he didn't want to be too eye-catching, and his niece was also good at making a living economically, so he thought of such a way to cover it up.
While saying this, the woman hiding in Tang Que's arms kept paying attention to his face with the corner of her eye, and seeing that he didn't speak, the poisonous widow's heart suddenly sank, how could he be like this? Didn't you hear that my fortune had been greatly reduced......
Tang Que was distracted for a moment because of what happened to County Lieutenant Zhao, and after waking up, he didn't see the poisonous widow speak, and then looked down at her face with a heavy face and flickering eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood that her mind was used in a crooked place again, "Are you thinking nonsense again?" ”。
"Huh?".
Tang Que pushed the woman's body in his arms away, put his hands on her shoulders, stared at her eyes with a serious face and said: "How many properties do you have, how to deal with these properties is your own business, I won't ask, you don't have to tell me", Tang Que stopped the poisonous widow who was anxious to speak after the sudden change in her face, "We have been together for almost a year, you know a little bit about what I am, if I marry you, it must be because of feelings, and this relationship has nothing to do with how much property you have."
At this point, Tang Que smiled indifferently, and suddenly added a little confidence in his words, "Although I am poor now, I am confident that I will not be poor again in the future, you don't have to calculate the furniture every day, the two of them should get along together, if you think about these things every day, what else does it mean?" ”。
The woman's face turned red when she said this, which was not only embarrassed, but more than the embarrassment was surprise, so much so that she didn't even bother to explain, "Ah Cheng...... You...... Have you ever thought about marrying me? ”。
"It's time for me to get married, the second elder in the family doesn't think about it, especially my mother is about to get sick!"
Since beating Tang Que to the county school, the poisonous widow has been thinking about this matter every day, the previous temptation made Tang Que angry, she also thought that she was destined to be with this man in this life, at this time, listening to Tang Que's affirmation, her face became more and more red under the surprise, but she didn't know what to say, so she simply plunged into the man's arms again, and muttered a few vague words, "Ah Cheng, you are so good...... It's so nice".
The woman had been bumpy for half her life, Tang Que could understand her thoughts, and he didn't speak anymore at the moment, only hugged her tightly, and the two embraced each other silently.
After a long time, the woman who had calmed down from the surprise came out of Tang Que's arms, "Ah Cheng...... I'm so much older than you, not to mention my reputation...... The second elder in the family can ...... Promised? ”。
For the traverser Tang Que, the age of the poisonous widow is really not a problem, and in later generations, plus a year of living in the Tang Dynasty, his actual age is about the same as that of the poisonous widow. But thinking of the Tang and Zhang families, he was also embarrassed, if he wanted them to agree to marry a poisonous widow, it was really not easy.
"I'm afraid this matter is a little embarrassing", Tang Que didn't think about hiding it from the woman, after all, this is a matter for the two of them, and they also need to face it together, "But there is always a way to do everything, my father and mother feel sorry for me very much, and I told them that there may not be no chance."
"En", the poisonous widow unexpectedly calmed down, "Since I decided to live in the county for a long time, I have already made up my mind, if you don't marry me, I will be your 'other house wife' for the rest of my life, although I think like this in my heart, I will inevitably have some grievances, I am very happy to hear your words today!" If I can really marry you, it will be a blessing that God can't bear to see me too bitter, and will be rewarded. After all, you are a county bachelor, a person with face, I don't dare to ask for the main room, if the second elder can allow me to enter the Tang family as a concubine, I will be grateful. Ah Cheng, if you go back and say this in front of the second elder, maybe they will agree if they are soft-hearted."
Although the woman's tone was joyful, there was always a faint bitter taste in this joy, Tang Que stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said softly: "You don't have to think too much, wait for me to get busy with this while, and I will go home when I am more relaxed." No matter what, I will always let you enter the door of the Tang family with dignity."
"En", the woman in her arms agreed very lightly, and slowly Tang Que felt a hot wetness coming from his chest, and I don't know when, the woman was already in tears......
The atmosphere of the meal at noon that day was very good, and the interest of both the poisonous widow and Sister Lan was very high, so the banquet was very lively, and Tang Que had already made up his mind to marry the poisonous widow into the door, so he let Sister Lan and them change their names during the banquet. The two girls newly bought by the poisonous widow were still unfamiliar with Tang Que, but after contact, they saw that he had a kind temperament, and slowly put their minds at ease, "Young Master, Young Master" was extremely pleasant.
At noon, he gave the poisonous widow a wind, and the interest was high, Tang Que inevitably drank a few cups, and when he arrived at the county government in the afternoon, he was a little later than usual with a pillar of incense, he just walked into the hall, but unexpectedly saw that Zhang Xianling was also inside, and was accompanied by Yao Qingguo to inspect the progress, and it was reasonable that Yao, who should also follow the accompanying Yao, was not there.
I haven't seen him for more than two months, and Zhang Xianling is obviously thinner than when he went down to inspect last time, and his face is not as hearty as last time, and there is a layer of melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes.
Zhang Xianling turned his head when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw that it was Tang Que coming in, a smile appeared on his originally solemn face, "Have you gone to the county to study?" ”。
Hearing this, Tang Que sighed in his heart, although Yao Qingguo's eyes suddenly shrank although it was small, it was also clearly seen by him, it seemed that he was destined to offend him this time.
Since he learned about Zhang and Yao's disagreement after calling the county government to help, Tang Que was faintly worried about such a scene. After all, the county government has limited space, and what they are doing is such an important thing, Zhang County Ling will come over to take a look. It's inevitable to look at the face.
Although he is worried, the initiative for something like this is not in his hands, so there is nothing he can do. After today's matter was really provoked, Tang Que was relieved and calm, and he could be regarded as having solved a problem, "It's been more than two months since I went to the county school."
"Okay, I can be drawn here by Lin Xuezheng to help, it seems that he is very satisfied with your performance in the county school! You should be busy first, and then come to the back office to talk to me after the evening shift."
