Chapter 187: A Different Him 11
Tong Guan followed Liu Shengsheng's method, painted his face with ginger, two months flashed by, and there was no change in his lips, he suspected that she was playing with him, Liu Shengsheng was also puzzled, but she thought that eunuchs were different from ordinary people, so she persuaded: "Don't be in a hurry in everything!" You can afford ginger anyway. ”
But Tong Guan is worried about ginger being expensive? He was worried that this was a bad idea, he wiped his face with ginger every day, it was hot, he thought several times that he would have a bad face, if this recipe didn't work, then wouldn't his bitterness be in vain?
He was silent for a long time and said, "In another half a month, Master and I will go to the front line, and the family will rely on you a lot." ”
"I'll clean up some ginger for you." Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "It's just, when you come back, don't let me see a big man with a stubble on his face!" ”
He silently replied in his heart: "Full of stubble? That's exactly what I wanted. ”
The day of going to the northwest front soon came, Liu Shengsheng really stuffed a lot of ginger into his package, followed the old lady of the Tong family, and hugged Tong Qian to the city gate to bid them off.
After Tong Guan left, the family had no financial resources, so Liu Shengsheng returned to his old business, making needlework for people to make a living, and the living expenses of Niang San were not large, and the money was more than enough.
It's just that seeing that the situation at home has improved a lot, Liu Shengsheng's stepmother, Liu Xu, began to stumble.
Hearing that the little eunuch Tong Guan went to the front line, and the day of his return was far away, Liu Xu's family heard the news and inquired about their address, she looked down on Tong's old lady who was old and healthy, so she did not avoid her, swaggered to the door, and even persuaded Liu Shengsheng to remarry in their house.
Bah! Bloodsucker! Old Witch! Liu Shengsheng directly carried a broom to drive people away, and Liu Xu yelled at the door of their house, saying that Liu Shengsheng was blind and blind, and he was married to Jinshan Yinshan but wanted to come to this old man to urinate, Liu Shengsheng was angry, poured a basin of sewage on her, and told Tong's mother to take her grandson at home and not go out casually.
She knew that Liu Xu's heart was bad, and she could use any tricks, and she was worried that she would attack her family, so she sought the protection of Liu Ji, and Liu Ji was obliged to take up this task, and went to their house for three days.
Liu Xu was silent, but the gossip on the streets and alleys became more fierce, and Liu Ji stopped coming.
A year later, Tong Guan came back, Liu Shengsheng was shopping in the market at that time, Tong's mother was afraid that he would blame Liu Shengsheng after hearing the rumors, so she grabbed Tong Guan and said all kinds of things that had happened in the family in the past six months, and said: "My daughter-in-law is in front of me, can I not know anything about her?" These words are just from those red-eyed villains, and they just can't see you. ”
"Does my brother come often?"
"I used to come almost every day, but then I heard them talking nonsense, so I didn't come."
Tong Guan had a bottom in his heart, nodded, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't believe their nonsense." ”
In the middle of the night, Liu Shengsheng went home with Tong Qian on his back, and when he saw the man in front of him who looked like black charcoal, he was so angry that he almost fainted, pointing to his fingers and shouting: "You! How did you become like this? ”
The year before last, he was still a white and clean son, and now he is a tall and strong man in the black and autumn, did he put ink on his face? How did you become like this?
Liu Shengsheng wanted to cry without tears, Tong Guan saw his wife and children, he was happy, rushed up, hugged both of them and turned around, haha smiled: "I'm back, are you happy?" ”
Liu Shengsheng said in his heart: "If you were still the little fresh meat back then, I would be very happy, but now...... Can't be happier! ”
His skin was tanned, looking healthy and powerful, Liu Shengsheng pinched the flesh on his arm, but he couldn't pinch it, like touching an iron block, Tong Guan said proudly: "Everyone in the army is not as good as me, I can knock them down with one punch!" ”
Seeing that she sighed and was displeased, he put it in front of her face, pulled her beard, and said, "Your recipe is very effective, look at my beard." Then he took her hand and put it on his face.
Liu Shengsheng raised his head, saw his facial features closely, and didn't feel ugly, his facial features were extremely good-looking, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were bright, very resolute and masculine, coupled with a well-repaired thick beard, the whole person looked majestic and extraordinary.
She pinched his beard, a little prickly, then put down his hand, Tong Qian on his back was moving, Liu Shengsheng untied the harness, as soon as he landed, he jumped into Tong Guan's arms, Tong Guan smiled very happily, but it didn't take a few seconds to laugh, this stinky boy was pulling his beard.
"Ahh Let go! ”
Tong Qian's hand was so strong that his mouth was torn out of shape, Liu Shengsheng applauded and smiled: "Xiao Qian, if you pull it all out, you won't prick your hand." ”
Tong Qian was encouraged to work harder, but his father slapped him so hard that his eyes were full of stars.
"Wow!" Tong Qian cried loudly.
"Don't cry!" Tong Guan said.
Liu Shengsheng raised his forehead and said, "He is not yet five years old, what should you do if you slap someone in the past and make someone stupid?" She hugged Tong Qian back to comfort her, Tong Guan was weak-hearted, sat aside and asked, "What's the good dish tonight?" ”
"You are blessed, I brought jade plate fresh from Fan Lou."
"Fan Lou? How do you get rich? Tong Guan blurted out.
After he followed Li Xian to the front line, although he saved money to send money to his family, he also knew that the money could only maintain a basic livelihood, Fanlou was the largest restaurant in the capital, and there were a lot of delicacies in it, but the price was extremely high, and the jade plate was fresh, how could she have such living conditions?
"The daughter-in-law went to the Guogong Mansion to work as a needleman." The old lady of the Tong family came over.
"Which country?" He asked.
"It's Wang Banshan, who has visited the prime minister many times." Liu Shengsheng laughed.
He knows Wang Banshan, Wang Banshan is Wang Anshi, he is very valued by the officials, brilliant in writing, tough in heart, and is a very rare talent.
Tong Guan nodded and opened the chatterbox.
After such a long time, Liu Shengsheng felt that this person's personality was more resolute and domineering, and she said in her heart: "If this domineering is decisively used in the military, he may become a good general, but if he is majestic at home, it will be bad." ”
However, after a night, he didn't give her a prestige, and Tong Qian was not so lucky, he was given special care from his old father who had just returned from the battlefield, and he cried a few rounds after only half a day.
Liu Shengsheng's advice, Tong Guan didn't listen, she could only silently watch Tong Guan's special education, Tong Qian cried so much, her eyes were swollen, Liu Shengsheng thought to himself: "I have to spend ice cubes again, it's bad." ”
But Tong Qian was determined to be a witty little cabbage, late at night, when Tong Guan and Liu Shengsheng were playing in the quilt, he howled all night outside the door, but the price of this death was painful, he was tied by Tong Guan's hands and feet, gagged, and thrown into the firewood room.
