Chapter 23: Confession
As soon as Lu Zhenghua saw her, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked unceremoniously, until he saw the aggrieved look on Jiang Tong's face, he hurriedly added:
"Next time, if you can't come in time, talk to me first, or I'll be worried."
Seeing that he spoke out because he was worried about himself, the aggrieved look on Jiang Tong's face turned into emotion, and he looked at Lu Zhenghua and said, "I, there was just a delay at home in the morning, and I won't do this next time." ”
"Well, it's actually irrelevant, I'm just worried about you, as long as you're okay."
Lu Zhenghua said and looked her up and down again, as if to see if there was a place on her body to hide something: "That group of people came to my house again today to ask for debts, saying that if they don't pay back today, they will break my legs." ”
After speaking, his face showed a sad look, Jiang Tong remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly took out the two silver tickets of five hundred taels from his underwear and gave it to him: "This is what I secretly took from my father's treasury, and I will ...... next time It's not going so well, Brother Zhenghua, you're still ...... Gamble less. ”
She carefully persuaded him, and at the same time carefully looked at his face, for fear that he would be annoyed and angry and ignore herself, but if he didn't say this, it wouldn't work, if he came to him every once in a while to ask for a thousand taels of silver, then he wouldn't want her life? Even if she put her life on the line, she wouldn't be able to get so much silver.
"Okay, I'll listen to you in the future, I didn't gamble before, that is, since I saw you last time, I thought that you would not marry in this life, but your family is so good, and you have grown up with fine clothes and fine food since you were a child, I am afraid that you will not be used to it after you arrive at my house, so I secretly took money from home and wanted to fight, so that you can live a good life after passing the door, who knows, you lost a fine light."
Lu Zhenghua lowered his head guiltily as he spoke, which was tantamount to a promise to her: he would marry her in the future, and he had already begun to prepare for her good life in the future.
He took the silver ticket, and his words were extremely smooth, plus a little embarrassed, which had already made Jiang Tong shy and happy to believe everything.
It turned out that he did it all for himself, but he blamed him in turn, Jiang Tong felt so guilty when he thought about it like this.
Because he still had something to worry about in his heart, Jiang Tong didn't care about being tired with Lu Zhenghua this time, and gave him the silver ticket and came out after a few more words.
It seems that for the sake of the future of himself and Brother Zhenghua, he has to recognize his uncle as a father no matter what, Jiang Tong thought as he walked.
And now in Brother Zhenghua's heart, she is the eldest lady of the Li Mansion, in case he knows that she deceived him in the future, and feels that he has been deceived and deceived, and he is just marrying a poor man who is so poor that he can't even eat, then what can she do?
There was no way back for her.
When eating, Jiang Tong looked at the three or four dishes on the table and felt a burst of anger in his heart, these cooks made her some of this kind of ordinary pork, fish, duck meat and various melon dishes every day, and even refused to let her eat something more expensive, and when she became the second lady in this house, see if they dare to treat her like this, hum!
Jiang Tong took two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, stuffed a piece of braised pork knuckle into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and chewed hard.
With such a dish and something on her mind, she just ate a little casually and couldn't eat it.
In the end, he couldn't eat it, so he threw the bowl and stood up to find Li Han, and called Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, but the two were not very reluctant, Bai Shao asked, "Where are you going?" The slaves and maids haven't eaten yet. ”
Jiang Tong stopped after listening to Bai Shao's words, thought about it and walked back, what she said made sense, Li Han must be eating at this time, right? She might have annoyed her by going so early, so let's wait for her to eat before going.
After eating, Jiang Tong made tea again and drank it slowly for a while, until it was estimated that Li Han should also finish eating, so he took the two girls and walked to her yard.
"Miss, Miss Cousin is coming this way." In Li Han's yard, she had just finished eating and set up a small table under the tree to drink tea, and May came over and whispered in her ear.
"Oh? Here it comes? Okay, Suyu, come here, you'll be ...... in a moment So and so on. ”
Li Han nodded to May, and called Su Yu over to whisper, Su Yu covered her mouth and smiled while listening: "Yes, Miss, I know." ”
"Well," Li Han saw that everything that should be explained was explained, so he sat down on the chair and continued to drink tea, and teased Xiao Cui on his shoulder.
When Jiang Tong came to the gate of Qingling Courtyard, she told Bai Shao Bai Zhi to stand at the gate of the courtyard and wait for her, so that she didn't have to go in, and then she stood at the door in a regular manner and waited for the little girl who was guarding the door to inform her, and when the little girl went in and came back politely and said that Miss invited her in, she followed the other little girl who led the way inside.
"Cousin, are you drinking tea?"
She stood in front of Li Han, looked at Li Han who was elegantly holding a cup of tea and preparing to drink, and carefully looked at her face as she spoke.
"Well, cousin, you're here? Sit down and have a drink together? ”
Li Han seemed to be very happy to see her coming, Jiang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, his intuition was really right, and he was right to find his cousin if he had something.
“…… Yes, cousin. Jiang Tong agreed to sit down, although he was successfully stayed, but his expression looked somewhat lonely.
"What's wrong with my cousin? Is there something on your mind? ”
Li Han glanced at her and asked with concern, which made Jiang Tong's heart moved, her cousin still cared about herself, otherwise she couldn't even see this thing on her mind.
"Cousin, originally this is our Jiang family's family matter, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, but I have no one to say about these troubles except my cousin, alas."
"Oh, it's a family matter, huh? If it's too much, it's better for my cousin to think about it first, after all, this matter can be big or small, and it's ......"
Li Han drank tea and said slowly, Jiang Tong listened to her words and couldn't take it for a while, this cousin usually seems to be very smart, why didn't he hear that he came to her here to say this?
"Miss, you're really, Miss Renbiao said so, isn't that what I'm going to tell you? You still say that, what should you do with Miss Watch? ”
Su Yu, who was standing aside pouring tea and waiting, didn't seem to be able to stand it, and couldn't help but say a few words to Miss, which made Jiang Tong a little moved, I didn't expect that Li Mansion usually managed so strictly, and this Su Yu dared to come out to help him speak, it was really rare.
Jiang Tong, who was moved, kept nodding her head with Su Yu's words, and by the time Su Yu finished speaking, she had already nodded several times.
"Oh, that's right, I'm really stupid, cousin, what's going on in your house? It makes you feel like this. ”
"Chirp tweet", Xiao Cui on Li Han's shoulder spoke: It's not that I'm calculating to do my father's daughter's business.
