Chapter 50: I Am an Outsider (V)
The car stopped at the door of Zhuangzi, and the girl who followed Mrs. Tang out did not see the soft sedan chair that came to pick up Mrs. Tang on weekdays. Not only that, but the people who came out from the porter to help with things didn't even show up on weekdays. Instead, I saw that a few people were busy going in and out and picking up things, and they didn't have anything to do to greet them. These mothers-in-law have been by her side since Mrs. Tang married from Dongting Bo Mansion, and they are used to being arrogant by Mrs. Tang's side on weekdays, and the people in the Tang Sect never care about them because of the old lady's restraint. Today, they were frightened in the Wu Mansion and were not in good spirits, and when they came back, no one took care of them, so they were annoyed. Among them, Mama Li followed Mrs. Tang out all the year round, first jumped out of the car, and complained loudly while walking towards the porter: "Where is this person dead?" When the wife comes back, you don't come out, and then the porter is dead? Why don't you call a soft sedan yet? ”
The people who were doing the work turned their heads to her angrily, and they all went about their business, and no one paid any attention to her. She also suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and just wanted to open her mouth to continue scolding, when a person who was looking at the bluestone slab with his head down straightened up, The Li family knew that this was the head of the guard on the other side of the old man's study in the front yard, and looked at the Li family coldly, and the Li family only felt a thrill and quickly closed his mouth. The guard saw that she was honest, but he opened his mouth patiently: "Mama hurry up and send my wife back to the room to rest." Mama was right, there are dead people here today, and the brothers in the porter are all injured, and everyone is busy at this time, and they are not empty-handed. ”
Mrs. Tang heard it in the car, and then remembered that she heard Wu You say in Wu's Mansion today that she had sent someone to Tangzhuang, thinking about the situation at noon, I was afraid that there were many people who came to Tangzhuang. How to say that this is also her own in-law's house, she hurriedly opened the curtain to look around, only to see things messy, but there were no dead or injured people, but I was afraid that it had been cleaned up. She hurriedly got out of the car by herself and walked towards the Zhuangzi with her mother-in-law. Along the way, she saw a lot of things scattered on the bluestone slab, looking like weapons or something, but she didn't understand, there were still several blood stains on the ground. Looking at that battle, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of casualties here today.
She was strange when she married into the Tang family. Whether it is the Tang Mansion in Beijing, the old mansion in Xianyang or the Tang Village, there are many incomplete people in the front yard of the gatehouse. Later, I learned that most of the people in the gatehouse here were people who had mixed in the rivers and lakes, some of them were heads, or people who had followed the masters of the Tang family in the army. Most of these people were injured and were not suitable for work, so the Tang family took them in and found some easy jobs for them to live. Most of these people have a strong friendship with their comrades, or pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and they are both prosperous and lossy, and the words of the Li family just now obviously offended everyone here, so she had to leave quickly. If you slow down, maybe a rough person will look at her unpleasantly and do something out of the ordinary, and she will be wronged. She now has some resentment towards her father in her heart, it was not good to pick someone for her in the first place, she had to choose such a person from the army, which of his subordinates had treated her as a serious housewife for so many years, it was just a pretense on the surface.
Mrs. Tang went back to the yard and changed her clothes and lay there lazily, but it was the Liu family who came to remind her that she should go and inform the old lady that such a big thing happened, and she had to report her safety when she came back, so it was her mother-in-law. Li Shi reluctantly got up and prepared to go over.
On the other side, Mrs. Tang had already received a letter from Li Shi to return safely. Seeing that people don't come to report safety, she doesn't care, this daughter-in-law has been like that for decades. An eldest lady of the Earl's Court, who is protected and pampered in her mother's house. When she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, she was always tolerant as a mother-in-law, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to set rules, and Tang Lan didn't have so many concubines and women to block her, and her life was comfortable, so when she was old, she didn't grow up in dealing with people and things, and she never had the habit of thinking about others. It was also self-inflicted when she went out today to be frightened, Tang Lan told her not to go out recently before she went out, and it was the Tang family who was the daughter-in-law who was so free, and she didn't have to say hello to her mother-in-law when she went out to the banquet and left by herself. By the time she knew, Li Shi had already gone out. Then Xinjie sent a letter to her to prevent someone from sneaking up on Tangzhuang and the banquet of the Wu Mansion in Xianyang City. The old lady originally wanted to send someone to chase Li back, but she was afraid of disrupting Xinjie's plan. Later, I thought about it, since Xinjie had planned to save those officials, there would not be many more of his aunts. Maybe his aunt's relationship with him can be eased a little better. It is also necessary for Li Shi to go through some things, so that she can understand that it is not easy for the children and grandchildren in the family to maintain this huge family business. Otherwise, she is too well cared for and will not grow up for the rest of her life.
Originally, because the Li family married from the Earl's Court, a delicate and weak daughter, they didn't want to criticize her, so a lot of blood and bloody wind did not let her face it. Now that her grandchildren are adults, and she herself is over the age of six, it is time for Li Shi to understand something. Even if she doesn't expect her to really assist Lan'er in controlling the Tang Sect in the future, at least she can't cause chaos to the juniors. The Tang family's family business needs children and grandchildren who have made achievements, and they also need a daughter-in-law who can support this family business. She'd found one she'd be happy with, but she didn't know what the new sky was going to look like. Thinking of Lian'er, the old lady felt very warm in her heart.
Today is also the first actual battle that this child has experienced since he arrived at Tangmen in three years. Originally, I didn't want the woman in the back house to rush out, the strength of the Tang Sect Jingwei and the steward Zhuang Ding in the village is extraordinary, and even if the Zhuang Gate is broken, the news of the organ in the Zhuangzi is not something that outsiders can break at will. However, it is always better not to let people in in the Zhuangzi to snoop, and not to take that step until the end.
However, there were more killers than they originally thought, and there were many hidden weapons prepared. In the first round, the guards of several gates in the Zhuangzi were all injured, and even the three major guards in the front yard were seriously injured. Lian'er was very smart, and when the guards in Zhuangzi sent a signal to Jingwei arranged on the outskirts of the Wabao Village to let them join the outside world, Lian'er asked people to throw a cloth bag of herbs with sprayed water to the east gate of the downwind, and at the moment when they were blinded, a burst of bows and arrows shot over, and the other party suffered a lot of damage. He also drove out a large number of cattle raised in the west of Zhuangzi, angered the cattle from behind, and let the people in Zhuangzi who would drive the cattle drive the cattle to the west to assemble the killers, and trampled a lot of the killers who had not yet reacted, and the enemy's position over there was suddenly chaotic, and the Jingwei outside attacked from the periphery of the Wabao Village, and the two sides quickly disintegrated the enemy in the west. The pressure on the other places was immediately relieved, and everyone was given a chance to breathe, and before the enemy had a chance to step into half a step, General Du Chong's reinforcements arrived. The regular army, which was outnumbered and well-organized, quickly broke down the killers. Some of those killers escaped through the net, and the rest were all captured by General Du Chong.
Lian'er accompanied Mrs. Tang out to thank General Du Chong, and it was all appropriate to greet him. The general was busy with military affairs, and he hurried to the next place when he was done. After Lian'er sent the old lady back to the room, she did not go back to rest, but carried the medicine to see the injured people in the village. Chen Biyan sent Mama to see it a few times, whether it was from the front or quietly from the side, and when she came back, she said that the white girl was sincerely healing the wounded in the Zhuangzi, and the guards in the Zhuangzi felt that the white girl was really kind to them. It's not for show. Chen Biyan was worried that Lian'er was born in a Jiangnan family and grew up in the palace, and she was afraid that she would be unaccustomed to dealing with these Jianghu people like the Li family. Now I am finally relieved, even if I am gone, this Tang Sect has a housewife who can hold on. It's hard to say it's hard to dominate these warriors, it's easy to say it's easy to say, the key is to get them to agree, to make them feel that you are worthy of their convincing. Today's decision to kill during the war, and the sincere rescue of subordinates after the war, are the best ways to win these people.
