Chapter 17: Secret Visits

Tang's mother's birthday came soon, and of course, while preparing for the birthday banquet, Cui's did not forget to send someone to clean up the house and move to the main courtyard.

Tang Zhen's house has not changed, and he still lives with Jia's mother, Tang Zhu and Wang's Tang Jin moved to Bailuzhou in the east together, Tang Jin and Tang Hu Tang Long, three brothers, lived in the front yard of Lanxingyuan, Fusang Building, and Chu Tianxin respectively.

During this time, many newcomers were added to the Tang Mansion, Tang Yue moved to the small building of Zhemei near the main house and Qinfang Garden, the yard is not big, three into twenty-six rooms, four bright and three dark pattern, the front yard is planted plum blossoms, especially transplanted a black plum sent by Cui Yan, and a green plum sent by Cui Yan are planted in front of the window. He also built a bluestone path, a grape trellis, a cool stone table and chairs, a cluster of roses in the corner of the wall, and a swing was hung. The back corridor is tortuous, there is a shallow pond with a bright heart, a few carp are raised, some green bamboos are planted, and the courtyard wall of Qinfang Garden can be seen vaguely.

"There are a lot of things at home in recent days, and I haven't been able to come to visit my sister, I don't know if Sister Lin is used to living here? The weather is cold every day, and the bedding, cloak and cotton jacket are all ready? Can the charcoal stove be delivered? A few days ago, my mother attacked the group of minions in the kitchen, and my sister has a lot of food here, and the group of mothers-in-law here are all right?" Tang Yue entered the door, took off the white fox fur, took off the clogs, and said with a smile like a warm sun, which showed sincerity.

"It's hard for you to bother, everything is fine when I live here, a few days ago, my father asked someone to bring a New Year's gift letter over, and also sent some Jiangnan things, my sister to see if you have a favorite?" Lin Xian was wearing a thin white coat, because of the rules of filial piety, it was very painful for her, and she saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and she became more and more weak.

Lin Xian personally selected the dried osmanthus and put it in the tea cup, handed it to Tang Yue, and said with a smile, "I know you don't like bitter tea, but that's all I have here, No, sprinkled with sweet osmanthus, you will drink it!" Then he took out a box and put it on the table, opened, but it was a statue of the zodiac, each exquisite and permeable water head is excellent, although it is not cheap compared to mutton fat jade, the best thing is that the carving, small and exquisite, lifelike, at first glance there is really a little rabbit!

"This thing is not worth much, you take it and be stubborn!" Lin Xian said, and took a box again, this time it was a hairpin, the peach blossoms carved by hibiscus jade, the color is different, but the carving craftsman has a unique heart, the deep and shallow peach blossoms are like smoke and fog, and if they are smudged into the water, they are like branches.

"This is a serious gift for you. ”

Tang Yue liked it when she saw it, she was also a person who loved flowers, this hosta was very popular with her, and she immediately shouted at Lin Xian to give her a hairpin, which made a room full of people laugh.

"By the way, Banxia, bring the things up. Banxia took out a box, Tang Yue opened it, "This box contains a pack of Poria powder, you have a sad day of filial piety, so you can eat some to nourish your body, I will let Jixiang look at you." The other is the fragrance in the glass bottle, "This is the rose fragrance in the palace, you drink it yourself or entertain the guests are excellent, and when I figure out the recipe, I will give you more of my place." "I took the box again, opened it, it is the best official swallow" This bird's nest is brought to you by my mother who knows you and you change your avatar, the family has been very busy recently, I'm afraid there is an inconsiderate place, it just so happens that you have a small kitchen in this garden, and my mother wants to send melons, fruits, rice and flour charcoal fire in addition to the daily three meals, and it is not so troublesome to make some food at ordinary times, and this official swallow is also the mother who makes up for your body. ”

Lin Xian didn't refuse, and ordered Ji Xiang Ruyi to accept all the orders, "I don't want to see you outside!" smiled and joked Tang Yue.

Tang Yue shrugged and said, "It's all a family, but it's a part of the family, by the way, the old lady's birthday is coming, have you prepared a gift?"

"This is nature" Lin Xian smiled, and went into the house to get a set of things, "This is the forehead I embroidered for the old lady, handkerchiefs and clothes and socks, but I have to ask you to bring it to the old lady." "She has filial piety in her, and it's not good to collide on a big day.

This is also another reason why Tang Yue is here today, no matter what Sister Lin says, she can be regarded as a relative of the Tang family that cannot be offended, not to mention that she is extremely proficient in poetry and ink, has the ability of eight-pronged hand and seven-step poetry, and is also the white moonlight that she yearns for.

Tang Yue is a layman, at most he can be vassally elegant, but he can't do the talent of chanting flowers and admiring the moon and getting drunk and writing wild grass.

On Tang's mother's birthday, they all prepared gifts and stepped forward one by one to celebrate their birthday.

Tang Zhen prepared a double-sided embroidered Bodhisattva statue: "I wish the old lady an evergreen and auspicious year." ”

Tang Zhu is a pair of embroidered Buddhist scriptures: "I wish the old lady a long life than Nanshan, and happiness such as the East China Sea." ”

Tang Yue prepared a longevity peach by herself, and when she saw Tang Zhu's eyes fluttering, she was about to say sarcastic, and Tang Yue opened her mouth to block her words: "Back to the old lady, today is the old lady's birthday, the granddaughter thought, the old lady has always been merciful, and she is dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, so she asked her mother to set 999 birthday peaches in the Buddhist temple to give alms and pray for the old lady." ”

Tang's mother smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and she was very happy when she saw it, "You have a heart." ”

Tang Zhen Tang Zhu was dissatisfied, not because her mother was in charge of the middle feed in the house, what do you want!

Tang Hu prepared a set of purple sand tea sets, made by famous artists, Tang Long prepared a four-floor screen, Tang Yu ...... I have a girl.

Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, these two people really met again!

That girl is the granddaughter of Tang's mother's younger brother, and her surname is Xia and her name is Qiwen. In her previous life, she was Tang Jin's concubine, but later she Lin Xian to death, and she rewarded her with a white one.

However, Tang Yue didn't plan to destroy this little seedling now, it would be useful to keep it! Xia Qiwen was born most like the white moonlight girl in King Rui's heart - the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, but unfortunately his wife was appointed by the emperor himself, so whose family is innocent and clean, it is best to be innocent. And the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion married the previous King Ping, and died on the battlefield together, and since then it has always become the bottom line of King Rui, and even with him who also loved the house and Wu to take care of King Ping's life glory.

The battle for succession will come sooner or later, and the line will be buried earlier, so that it is good to fish and reap profits, isn't it?

Tang Yue smiled secretly and drew up a plan in his heart.

Tonight, the maids and mother-in-law were all very drunk, and even the janitor that night also got a cup of wine and a banquet, with chicken, duck and fish.

Tang Yue took advantage of today's chaos to cover the Wang family's house under the cover of the willows in Banxia.

The house is also brilliant with candles, but unfortunately there is no one, and there are not a few furnishings, there are no people who serve, and the intimate people around them are all sold by Cui's to send to the official.

"Second uncle, don't come unharmed. Tang Yue gathered his cloak and held a small stove with Qi Nan and smiled.

But in Wang's eyes, the smile was clearly ridiculed, and the evil fire was steep, and Wang rushed towards Tang Yue fiercely, "You little hoof! It's all you and your damn mother!"

Tang Yue didn't dodge or dodge, still looking at her with a smile, as if he was waiting for her to pounce.

Banxia was anxious in her heart, her master was really too calm, she didn't know what the master was thinking anymore many times, but she also knew the truth that a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall, and she stretched out her hand to pull the pot Tang Yue, but she saw that Wang's hands and feet were weak and lay straight on the ground.

Tang Yue squatted down, picked up Wang's jaw, which was immersed in shock, and his eyebrows were cold, "Second uncle, how about that bowl of bird's nest porridge just now, how good does it taste good?

"Slut, you give me medicine!" Wang was hideous, and the sharp end of the golden hairpin that pulled out the hairpin on his head pointed at Tang Yue and angrily thrust it into Tang Yue's neck!

Banxia couldn't help but kick away and said, "You hurt our girl first! Count the nine cold winters, you actually let our girl kneel in the snow! If you are unkind, don't blame our girl for being unjust!"

Tang Yue looked at Wang with cold eyes, took out a packet of white powder from his sleeve, mixed it with hot wine and walked in front of Wang.

"Banxia, restrain her. Banxia immediately knelt on Wang's body, folded her hands back, Tang Yue opened her mouth, and fed her with a head.

Clapped his hands to signal that Banxia could get up, and then slowly straightened his nails, "Second uncle, you want to kill my mother, I'm not as ruthless as you." My hands are clean. ”

"Banxia, let's go. When he walked to the door, he blew out the lamp, turned around and smiled meaningfully, "However, my second uncle is different." ”

Just after Tang's mother's birthday, the emperor's holy decree came, ordering Tang Yu to follow King Hui to visit the Yellow River area and thoroughly investigate the matter of the embankment.

Tang Yu ordered the long follower, packed up his clothes and money and left.

When Tang Yue knew the news, he couldn't help but drop the cup in his hand.

If it is an unannounced visit, why is the holy decree coming?

Thousands of turns, my heart is heavy like falling into nine shades.

No, no, the emperor is going to do it!
