257 The time has not yet come
The carriage of the Tang family passed through Ping'an Town leisurely, and when the carriage arrived in Yaocheng, the sun had already set, and the two children fell asleep on Tang Anqing's body. The horses galloped all day, but they didn't show a trace of fatigue, and they were still galloping.
Fortunately, the city gate was not closed, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were handed over dozens of dollars, and their carriages passed through the city gate smoothly. When restaurants and inns are really lively, you can still hear the sound of gags coming from inside when you pass by. Tang Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and woke up in a daze, and when she woke up, her voice was still a little confused, sweet and glutinous. "Mother, where are we?"
"Yu'er woke up, let's go to Yaocheng. Well, Dad is looking for an inn, and he will be able to sleep well in a while. "She's a little tired from a day in the carriage, let alone two little ones." Well, tired or not? We're not going to drive tomorrow, so let's have fun. ”
Puyu snorted and asked Tang Anqing to wipe his little face. Baozi had already gone to the space, even with the little fox and Ash Ash. The little snake has been wrapped around Erbao's wrist, and it looks very comfortable. Tang Anqing thought that it was probably the reason for the overflow of the aura on Erbao's body, firstly, Erbao had aura, and secondly, the green gourd was not ordinary, and it was hanging on Erbao's body at this time, so this little snake chose Erbao as its owner.
The carriage drove in the night, and after a while stopped in front of a three-story inn, Tang Anqing looked up and saw that 'there is an inn' turned out to be an inn opened by Brother Jin.
It would be more comfortable to live in, but the family was tired, and simply ate some light meals, and the two children had already run to the bed to talk. Tang Anqing smiled, "The two little ones are tired, Ah Yu will go wash first." I'll fetch some water for Yu'er and Erbao to wipe their bodies. ”
Tang Baiyu snorted and took out the clothes of the two children from the luggage, but he had to wash off the mask on Tang Xiaoyu's face with a special potion first, and the mask with delicate workmanship like a cicada's wings was hung in front of the dresser. Tang Anqing also washed off the mask he was wearing by the way, and there was no sense of disobedience with the mask, and he didn't feel anything after a long time, and sighed again about the wisdom of the ancient working people.
The two children scrubbed their bodies with the warm spring water in the space, revealing the tender puff body that was wheezing, and poked and left a pit out. When Tang Baiyu came out, he saw his own lady poking her son and playing happily, and this scene under the candlelight was the most warm.
Tang Anqing bathed out, changed to a placket with a white background sprinkled with a faint lilac, pink inlaid with broken lilacs, and tied with a pink-purple floor-to-ceiling finely pleated skirt, the tulle was as soft as smoke and as light as fog. Most of the tiredness on his body is gone, and there is more energy between his eyebrows.
Seeing her come out, Tang Baiyu gave her the letter in his hand, "Situ sent it, you can take a look." ”
"Huh? How did Brother Jin send the letter? Tang Anqing raised his eyebrows, his apricot face was warm under the yellow light, and his peach cheeks were pink, which added a bit of tactfulness. Tang Baiyu looked at her fixedly, and his cold face softened, who would have thought that the originally cold moment would have such a soft expression, only sighed that he had found the right beloved.
Tang Anqing sat on the side and looked carefully, Tang Baiyu was holding a warm and dry towel in the back to wipe her green hair, the two did not speak, but the warmth lingered around the two.
Tang Anqing exhaled, his nose was sour, there is roughly such a relative in the world, helping you pave the road ahead, stepping on the thorns in front, when you are wronged, you can seek comfort and seek a firm and warm embrace, whenever you do something, you will always remember that he is behind you to be your strongest backing. Don't be afraid, everything has a brother. Don't say 'why are you so good to me' hypocritical, blood is thicker than water. Maybe he is the best brother in the world.
Thinking of this, his mood brightened in an instant, and he turned around with a smile and hugged Tang Baiyu's waist, warm and powerful. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, and he winked at Tang Baiyu, "Brother Jin is right, why don't we do it?" Right? ”
"Hmm." Firm and powerful.
Zhang Zhai
The Zhang family is one of the largest households in Yaocheng, and it has faintly become the richest man in Yaocheng for most of the year, and even the business has done a lot in Jizhou. Now that the money is obtained, few people come to flatter. It's a pity that there are no heirs, only a few concubines. At a banquet before Zhang Deli returned from Jizhou, a timber business man surnamed Xing in Jizhou City made the decision to allow his sister-in-law to make him a second room. After returning to Yaocheng, he also took in a few beautiful concubines.
His wife, Xu, is only thirty years old, although she is well maintained and has a good appearance, she looks less than thirty. After all, it is no better than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, young and invincible, and it is when a flower has just bloomed. Even if she and Zhang Deli have been married for many years, how beautiful their looks are every day, they don't feel it, and because of the child, Zhang Deli has long been dissatisfied with the Xu family. This Xu is also a tolerant person, looking at the coquettish appearance of several newcomers in front of him, gritted his teeth and listened to the advice of the nurse Zhu Mama, and then opened the face of a plump and neat maid who looked good and raised to become an aunt.
She has been married to the Zhang family for more than ten years, she has no children, I don't know how many doctors she has seen, how many gods and Buddhas she has begged, and how many wishes she has made.
Unexpectedly, the child didn't look forward to coming, but a few charming beauties came, so they had to beat the blood and swallow it.
"Mama, you said that I was too stupid at the time, if the Song girl's child was born, I told the master how good it is to raise it in my name, this Song girl has nothing to rely on, and the person is easy to control, and she can't be sure. The new aunts and merchants who are now born are all innocent maiden women, and they are all noble concubines. If you give birth to a boy, I'm afraid that the mother will be more expensive than the child, and the latter will come first! Xu waved away a few maids, leaving only her nurse Zhu Mama to speak, looking at Xu at this time, haggard and tired.
"At that time, it wasn't Aunt Jia's slut who was entrusted to her, and I didn't look at her own identity. Hey, Miss, it's useless for you to think about it now, it's just that Aunt Jia didn't know what to do and deceived Miss, otherwise she wouldn't have been cold. "This is talking about driving Song Ni out, speaking of which, when Song Ni was there, she was kind to anyone, and Mama Zhu didn't hate her.
"I don't know how Song girl is now? It was also selfish at the time, and now that I think about it, it was mostly my fault. made the master's only heir an idiot. Mama didn't know that I had been to see the child when it was born, and it was chubby and cute. Looks more like Song girl, hey! It's probably fate, whose yard is the old man staying in tonight? "The Xu family has no children, and several concubines are not raised in her name, and they are not close to her. I only sigh that my stomach is not angry, and now my mother's family is showing a little, and I can't rely on it. If it weren't for the fact that several aunts didn't give birth to sons, she would still be able to keep her position as a wife.
Mama Zhu saw that she was a little haggard, so she persuaded her to rest. Then he said: "The old man is staying in the coriander room, Miss should rest early." I heard from the shopkeeper of the Jade Village that there were a few brightly colored brocades in the shop, and Mrs. Ming went to take a look so that she could make some new clothes. There are also a few good pieces of jewelry in that Cuizhuang, and Mrs. looks even better with it. ”
"Mama Mo said and laughed, just like me, what kind of bright colors do I wear. It's okay to rest in her yard, but the coriander Lao Tzu Niang has it? "Coriander is the maid next to the Xu family, it seems that people are honest and can give birth to children, and the color is good, so they opened their faces and stuffed them to the master.
Mama Zhu sighed and said, "If Coriander is pregnant, it will be according to what we agreed before, let her be born and be in the name of Mrs. The deed of sale of coriander was in the hands of Mrs., and she couldn't get annoyed. Besides, her old son and mother also took it, and Madame asked her to go east, she didn't dare to go west, and she wouldn't do anything to be sorry for Madame. You can't afford to cheapen a few over there, and it's not going to be so rampant. It's like Aunt Jia's slut, if she hadn't followed the master for the longest time and gave birth to the master's first child, how could she be so rampant in the house. If she hadn't driven the Song girl out, she would have stepped on the lady's head at this time. Besides, if these new aunts really let them give birth to sons, the mother is more precious than the son, and the lord will definitely go over there at that time, and there will be a day when the wife is wronged. According to Mama, coriander is easy to give birth to, and she will definitely be able to conceive a boy. "Mama Zhu is Xu's nurse, please have the same mother and daughter, she dares to say this. Mama Zhu sighed, and continued: "Madame, don't worry, even if they can get pregnant, it's hard to say whether they will be born or not." It's that Mrs. Coriander is not at ease, and when the child is born, she will go to the mother and keep the child, and the horizontal and vertical is just a girl bought for a few taels of silver, and she must not be compared with Mrs. ”
Xu didn't say anything again, "Grandma Ming will follow me to the temple to ask for a signature, and ask for a good sign to bless you to conceive a boy as soon as possible." ”
Mama Zhu nodded, and when Xu fell asleep, she turned off the lights, and there were maids guarding outside.
At dawn the next day, Tang Anqing was in a good mood, so he got up early, got some pastries that Tang Xiaoyu liked to eat in the space, and boiled beef bone soup in the space. Fortunately, it was only a few hours of work outside, and it was very easy.
I went to bed early yesterday, and now the two little ones woke up, and the two brothers were rubbing around on the bed. Puyu recognized that only her own family could bully, and she was also a master of protecting her shortcomings in her bones. As early as when Tang Anqing was pregnant with Erbao, he shouted at his younger brother all day long, those little rattle gold leaves saved for his younger brother are not fake, whenever Doudou Erbao will be given to him, and he has never seen him take it back. At this time, I hugged the two treasures vigorously, and the big radish diced hugged the small radish dice, and the two similar cute little faces touched each other very cute.
Tang Anqing gave them a kiss alone, gave Puyu warm clothes to put on, and dressed Erbao himself. Tang Xiaoyu is dressed in jade-colored fox armpit arrow sleeves, covered with pure white rabbit fur and small shoulders, like a newborn rabbit in spring, cute and tight. Er Bao wore a big red gourd vase pattern engraved silk jacket, wearing cotton shoes embroidered with refined patterns, lined with white and tender cheeks, and looked more and more handsome.
After a while, Tang Baiyu came in from outside and said, "It's all up, Yu'er followed her father to wash." He didn't show a trace of tiredness, the endurance of martial arts practitioners was longer than others, even if he was on the road all day yesterday, he recovered well after a few hours of rest. Wearing a lake-blue gown, his hair is tied up, and he is a cold and handsome beautiful man. Tang Anqing hugged Erbao and smiled, "Erbao, is Daddy good-looking?" ”
The child blinked his dark eyes twice, nodded with a wow, as if he could understand Tang Anqing's words, Tang Anqing kissed his fat cheek, "Good Bao'er, is my mother good-looking?" ”
The child leaned over and kissed him, nodding his head busily, giggling like a chicken pecking rice. "Yo, our second treasure is really good." Tang Anqing picked him up, wiped his little hands and cheeks with a wet handkerchief, and the child didn't move, and obediently asked Tang Anqing to wipe his face, but his little hands played with the little snake in his hand, playing in circles.
Whoever is the pet in this house will have a name, Erbao can't speak, and this little snake has no name, just wait for Erbao to speak and then give it a name, so this is the little snake and the little snake screamed.
After eating, the family was ready to go shopping. There was no change of appearance at this time, passers-by saw that they were dressed as if they were honest people, but no one dared to do anything out of the ordinary, and occasionally there were a few obscene people, and they were stared at by Tang Baiyu coldly and slipped away, and no one came to provoke them along the way.
Tang Xiaoyu held her father's hand and jumped on the road, as fresh and cute as a rabbit born in spring. Passers-by couldn't help but take a few more looks, Erbao was lying in Tang Anqing's arms, and had been curiously playing in Tang Anqing's veil, giggling after a while, the ice and snow were cute, and from time to time I heard passers-by praise a few words.
This Cuizhuang seems to be the property of the Situ family, Tang Anqing looked at the words of Cuizhuang with vigorous and powerful handwriting, and he really couldn't tell that this was a jewelry store.
There are also a lot of daughters and ladies who choose jewelry, probably all of whom come to admire.
When the shopkeeper saw it, his face was shocked, and he immediately looked at Xiao Erda, this is the ancestor, and he can't serve him properly. Thinking about it, it's an honor, but I can listen to Lao Zhangtou's show off all day long, and I have to wait for my life at this time.
The shopkeeper had already greeted him, and he led the family to sit in the private room, and after a while, someone came in with tea. The shopkeeper went out and immediately ordered to take out the best, most delicate and elegant jewelry in Diancuizhuang, and Xiao Er immediately ordered to go.
Tang Anqing took off his mask and saw those gold, silver, pearls, jade, jade and agate jewelry, which were really good, and they were all exquisite and elegant, which showed that the people who made these jewelry patterns must also be good. Tang Anqing secretly smiled at his mentality, if he saw it before, he must have felt that he would have found luxury jewelry, how could he have any money to buy it, but now these elegant jewelry can be chosen by you, and you still look like a matter of course. Habits are a terrible thing.
But the happiest thing was Puyu, and the child almost drooled when he saw that his face began to glow when he saw the jewelry made of gold and silver. Tang Anqing was not annoyed, but felt that his child was cute, so he had to do nothing out of the ordinary, just let him go.
The shopkeeper was standing next to him, and asked the two little maids to come over to serve, Tang Anqing nodded secretly, this shopkeeper's business is good.
Tang Xiaoyu brought over a pair of gold silk hibiscus bracelets, "Mother, this is good-looking, it must look good when you bring it." Tang Anqing looked at the golden silk hibiscus bracelet, red gold twisted silk, white gold inlaid into the shape of hibiscus, exquisite craftsmanship, it must be very precious. Tang Anqing took it and said to the shopkeeper: "Wrap this bracelet." ”
The shopkeeper agreed, ordered two little maids to wrap it, and stood aside respectfully. I was very happy in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. Erbao didn't let his brother, holding an ice seed purple jade bracelet, carved with lilacs, very delicate, babbling to Tang Anqing, staring at Puyu with moist eyes. Tang Anqing nodded his forehead with a smile, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap the purple jade bracelet.
The others chose some delicate ones, since the two children were screaming there, Puyu preferred gold and jade, and Erbao preferred bright colors. The shopkeeper stood aside and was very happy, and after a while they all chose seven or eight looks. Tang Baiyu took a small and delicate cherry blossom-style sideburns and put a hairpin on Tang Anqing's left bun, Tang Anqing was stunned, and secretly laughed, but he didn't plan to take it off.
After a while, I heard a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper went to the door after a thousand calls, and after a while I didn't see the shopkeeper come back, and I heard some noisy sounds outside, so I asked a little girl to go out to see what was going on?
After a while, the little maid came back to report that Mrs. Zhang came to choose jewelry, but she didn't see it, and she heard that the shopkeeper put the most elegant shelf, so she was angry.
"Mrs. Zhang?" After hearing this, Tang Anqing whispered Mrs. Zhang, glanced at Tang Baiyu, and said with a smile: "I think it's a coincidence." With that, he asked the little maid to take the rest of the jewelry down and told the shopkeeper that she had picked it out.
When the two little maids saw that the shopkeeper was so respectful to this guest, they knew that a few nobles had a noble status, so they obediently brought down the tray of pineapple wood carving where the jewelry was placed.
Tang Xiaoyu sat on the Taishi chair, shaking her short legs, drinking tea with a teacup like a little old man, tasting a little bitter, and then taking the delicate pastries placed next to her and eating. Tang Anqing's slender white fingers rubbed the emerald bracelet on his wrist and touched the tea bowl lightly, looking leisurely. Tang Baiyu hugged Erbao, let Erbao step on his lap, let Erbao stand, the child's bones are good, and at this time people can stand with him.
After a while, the shopkeeper came up, and his face was faintly not good-looking. Said respectfully: "Let the eldest lady be frightened." ”
"It's okay, it's an old acquaintance, don't worry about the shopkeeper. These jewelry are wrapped first, so that people can send them to an inn, okay? It's not easy for us to hold it. Tang Anqing smiled, his tone soft.
The shopkeeper claimed that he respectfully sent Tang Anqing's family out of the private room. Tang Anqing had already put on a veil before going out, and everyone couldn't see her appearance when they were curious at this time, but looking at Tang Baiyu's bearing, they couldn't guess which family it was.
Tang Xiaoyu was held in his arms, and the pastry in his mouth was bulging before he could swallow it, and when he saw Xu, he tilted his head. Wondering why this grandma is looking at herself? Could it be that Yu'er is too cute? Sure enough, Yu'er is the cutest and smartest child in the world.
Tang Anqing glanced at Xu and Mama Zhu beside her through the veil, and the corners of her red mouth curled. Speaking of which, when she was in Zhang's Mansion, Song Ni could be said to be the most honest and heartless of all the aunts, but she was squeezed everywhere. And in the accident in which they were drugged and the accident in which they were finally kicked out of the door, what kind of role did these two people play, and Aunt Jia was the most opposed to this Xu family. In the end, although Song Ni was slandered by Aunt Jia, if the Xu family has nothing to do with it, it is better to let the sow go to the tree. This backyard will always be the most intriguing place.
Tang Anqing wore a veil, she smiled, Xu and Mama Zhu couldn't see her appearance. It's just that when I saw Puyu, I was obviously stunned. But looking at the elegant jewelry in front of me, I can't get angry. These jewelry are just leftovers picked by others, and when she is in Yaocheng, she will pick out other people's leftover jewelry.
"What do you mean, shopkeeper?" Mama Zhu saw that Xu was unhappy, so she asked coldly.
"Mrs. Zhang, that's what I mean." The shopkeeper was also reluctant to explain, "If Mrs. Zhang is not willing to choose, why don't you let other ladies and ladies choose, and there is no shortage of people to buy the jewelry of Cuizhuang." ”
Xu's face became not very good-looking, what is the background of Cuizhuang, no one in Yao Cheng knows, but he knows that this background is very hard, and some people faintly say that he is a person from Beijing. Since no one dared to provoke easily, he flicked his sleeves and left with a group of maids.
"Why is this Mrs. Zhang so angry lately? When you talked to her just now, you ignored me? ”
"It's not for the backyard thing, I heard that Master Zhang has accepted a few more aunts, all of them are as beautiful as flowers."
"Yo, not really. It seems that she has just come back from the temple, and she has gone to make a wish again. ”
"Oh, is it? What is the use of this hen that does not lay eggs? You say don't you? ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Liu is joking."
"Humph! Mama, let's go! The sedan chair was getting farther and farther away, and Tang Anqing saw it around the corner with his lips hooked and smiled.
