Mother Tang sat on the top seat, the light pine smoke-colored gown jade golden hairpin, a cold ink charm, and the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand fluctuated all the time.

Tang Zhu and Tang Yue glanced at each other, and continued to kneel on the soft cushion, the cold was steep, but fortunately, the warmth of the dragon burning in the room was like spring, and the thick curtain blocked the wind and snow outside.

A pillar of incense or so, Cui Mama came out of the ear room, followed by Tang Zhen with red and swollen eyes, Tang Zhu Tang Yue's heart tightened, her face was pale, and her expression was terrified.

Mama Cui whispered back in Tang's mother's ear, and Tang Yue couldn't hear a single inch even if she tightened her ears! But Tang's mother's eyes gave her the answer.

Tang Mu's knife-like eyes hit Tang Zhen, Tang Zhen lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the eggplant that had been beaten by frost.

"It's not too early, you go to greet the ladies first, and then take a good rest when you turn around, drink some hot tea and ginger soup, but don't suffer from the cold, I have something to explain to your big sister, all of them retreat." Tang's mother spoke, her eyes fell on Tang Zhen's business, the two retreated silently, and only woke up after the cold wind outside, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and each took the maid back.

"Girl. Yang Liu tied a cloak for Tang Yue, his words were worried, Feng Lu held the hand stove in his voice, the wind chimes put on clogs for Tang Yue, and the wind and summer took two wind lamps to illuminate the road with the wind chimes.

The night is dark, and the wind and snow are getting stronger.

The pine crane tower is as warm as spring, but the atmosphere is tense and thunderous.

"Tell me, what do you want to do now?" Mother Tang looked at Tang Zhen coldly, plucking the rosary in her hand, she was afraid that she would smash Tang Zhen's head if she didn't pay attention to the hot tea on this side, and it would be difficult to marry a woman with a scar on her body, especially since she also entered the eyes of the prince...... As the longest person in the family, Tang's mother has a lot of considerations, and King Rui is now hot with his bare hands, and he has ascended to the sky in one step, Tang Zhen's identity can be just - looking at Tang Zhen with solemn eyes, he really hates iron and steel!

Tang Zhen knelt on the ground, didn't dare to kneel to the place where the cushion was padded, and cried when she said she would cry, and her tears were a string of voices, and her voice was grievances, "Ancestor, it's the granddaughter who is not filial!" But the other party is the prince of the world, he shortened my way, let me accompany him to drink tea and chat, the granddaughter can't refuse, His Royal Highness King Rui is now above 10,000 people under one person, how, how can the granddaughter be offended!" said and kept sobbing and looking at Tang's mother with red eyes, "Father and mother are also difficult to be at home now, how can the granddaughter dare to offend King Rui and make the eldest uncle and aunt unhappy?" Although she is blessed by her ancestors, what is her granddaughter...... In the end, my mother is grounded, walking in this house step by step, ancestor, is this still the house where I grew up? Even the begonia flowers in this house...... As long as the third sister likes it, my big sister can't choose, and I can't even insert a bottle for my grandmother!"

Tang Zhen cried and sobbed, Cui Mama didn't give a single look, Tang's mother's eyes softened in an instant, and just wanted to speak, Mama Zhou, who had been waiting for the old lady's favor, came in to serve tea, "The old lady is angry, this is the old gentleman's eyebrows that the third girl personally swept the pine branch snow bubbles, and the old lady will pay for it?"

Mother Tang has always liked the tea made by Mama Zhou, and when she heard the words, she took a sip, and the entrance was clear and rosin, and the fragrance of pine tactfully changed between her lips and teeth, "It's really good tea, and the craftsmanship of Wanzhu is getting better and better!" He changed the topic so lightly, ignoring Tang Zhen's stiff face and continued to speak, "Speaking of the three girls, the old slave remembers that the three girls will sweep the plum blossoms for the old lady every time the snow falls, and the snow on the pine branches and bamboo leaves makes tea for the old lady. I have to go to see it in person two or three times a day, and I cry for a long time when a flower and a leaf are missing, so that the maids and women in the flower room dare not slack off in the slightest, after all, it is a flower for the old lady, who dares to slack off?" easily dissolved the unhappiness in Tang's mother's heart, and also put on a very honest face, which made Tang's mother extremely relieved.

Tang Zhen's heart suddenly overturned with frost and snow, and then her eyes lit up and turned dark, and she said, "I remember that the third sister seems to have a grandmother surnamed Zhou next to her?"

"The eldest girl has such a good memory!" Mama Zhou looked at Tang's mother's eyes and began to fade, and she thought in her heart, "The Mama Zhou next to the third girl is younger than me, she is the old man of the Cui family, and she used to serve by the eldest lady's side, but after the eldest lady was sick, she didn't worry that there was no old mother around the third girl, so she gave it to the third girl, and the mother-in-law was commensurate with Mama Zhou, so as not to get confused." ”

Tang's mother looked relaxed, and then remembered that the business was not finished yet, but she was old and needed to go to bed early at night, so she was too lazy to play and said bluntly, "Zhen girl, you have grown up in front of me since you were a child, I love you the most, and even your brothers can't go past you!" You married into the Rui Wangfu to win glory for the family, and it is also a good thing to be valued by the princess, but it is not good for a woman to lose her virginity before marriage...... "eyes like a knife" are not good for women's reputation, especially if you have two sisters who have not left the cabinet! Speaking of which, do the daughters of our clan want to get married! If you act like this, the clan elders have an excuse to divide your branch! Even I can't say anything! Do you know?" After all, he is an old fritter who has been in charge of the family for many years, and he has a few words of understatement, his eyebrows and eyes are cold and cold, and he puts all the power on the table, and Tang Zhen's face is like earth!

That's when she realized the seriousness of the matter!

"Whether a woman is perfect or not, her food, clothing, shelter and transportation are all considerable! If you are so careless, you will still stay at home in the future. As for the Rui Wangfu, I have my wife to negotiate with your father!" "After thinking about it, he sighed like resignation, "It's just that, when the year is over, let your mother come out too, and you will have to take care of your ceremony and marriage next year!"

"Mama Cui, you go boil a post of child avoidance medicine for the big girl, and watch the big girl drink it. ”

"Yes. Mama Cui obeyed the order, braved the wind and snow to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and stayed up all night to watch Tang Zhen drink it in person.

Tang Zhen was not stupid, and drank it obediently.

On the second day, Tang Yue went to Songhe Tower to say goodbye.

"I heard Sister Cuiqiao say that the ancestor has been bitter in his mouth recently, and her granddaughter took honey ginseng and mixed ginseng honey, and asked Sister Cuiqiao to mix a cup for you every day, by the way, I heard that the second uncle and mother are not in good health, and the ginseng honey is warm and nourishing, and I also ask the second sister to send it to the second uncle, which is also the filial piety of my junior. Tang Yue asked people to hold four small jars of honey, and obviously saw the admiration on Tang's mother's face, and she was even more happy in her heart.

It's really not too difficult to please Tang's mother!

"By the way, your eldest sister was hit by the wind yesterday and sent a jar of honey over. Tang's mother spoke, and Cui Qiao immediately took the honey and sent it over.

Tang Zhu raised his eyebrows, and Cui ...... It's very heartfelt to her big sister!

"These days, the second girl's housekeeper, I have to take care of your sister Xia!" Tang Mu said with a smile, but there was no lack of pressure in her tone.

Xia Qiwen was originally sitting obediently sitting on the side and eating almond tea with a smile, but she was flattered to hear that Tang's mother had ordered her name, and hurriedly said, "The ancestors are loved, Qiwen has nothing to repay, but in the ancestors, Qiwen has never lacked anything, and the sisters are also very easy to get along with!

"That's good, people like ours just want to be affectionate!" Tang's mother asked again, "By the way, Brother Hu, Brother Long, and Brother Ji are back?"

Tang Yue's heart was cold, she was so flattering every day, and the old lady still couldn't see her two brothers motivated!

Xia Qiwen caught a glimpse of the smile on Tang Yue's face, and said in her thoughts: "I heard that the Cui family is talented, and people who seek advice often line up at the gate of the city! It's a pity that Qiwen is just a weak woman, and it's a pity that she can't see that grand scene with her own eyes!"

"What's the pity? The Cui family and our family are in-laws, and they come and go every year, if you want to meet, when you turn around, you will also be there to serve when the Cui family comes?" Tang's mother opened her mouth very crisply, and Tang Yue's face couldn't hold it anymore!

What kind of family is the Cui family? Tang's mother looks down on her in these words, how can she dislike the Cui family? I don't want to think about how even the emperor does not dare to dislike the Cui family, which is full of peach and plum in the world, and how can she have a face as an old woman! What's more, the Cui family is her foreign family and her mother's maiden family!

Tang Yue was angry in his heart, but he was holding back because of filial piety!

Tang Zhu opened his mouth at this time, "It is also a blessing for the brothers to be taught by the uncle of the Cui family, but this is the end of the year, and I think it is time to come back in a day or two, why don't you go and see the third sister?"

It just so happened that she wanted to go out, and she didn't have an excuse.

Immediately, he responded, "I'll go and see it that night, it just so happens that I may not have seen Uncle Yan for a long time, and the uncles didn't have time to meet last time!"

Leaving the Songhe Tower, Tang Yue led someone to see Cui's.

Cui's mood is good, and his face is good, so he put tea in the tea shop and read a book in front of the window.

"Mother. ”

Cui Shi raised his eyes and removed the maid, "Sit down, there is your favorite yam and red date cake." "Cui's body is seriously injured, and he has too many dietary scruples, so he usually eats a light diet and eats more medicinal soup.

"Yesterday, what did you get involved with Tang Zhen's matter?" Cui continued to read, and did not give Tang Yue a look, and his words made Tang Yue even more nervous.

"Mother-" Tang Yue stirred the handkerchief, looking embarrassed.

Cui Shi glanced at her leisurely, waiting for her to explain.

Tang Yue hesitated and said, "Does the mother think her daughter has done something wrong?"

"I can't write two Tang characters in one stroke. ”

"But mother," Tang Yue took a deep breath, "Zi said, repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? She knew what Cui was going to say, it was nothing more than that she had to bear the responsibility of mutilating her siblings if she inserted such a kick!

"The son also said, the gentleman is the first, and the original is born. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence!" Cui replied in the blink of an eye.

"Virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors. Tang Yue was not to be outdone, and Cui threw the book on the table.

Tang Yue curled up and hugged the embroidered soft pillow, not speaking, not daring to be angry with her delicate and gentle mother.

"If you don't keep filial piety, do you still think you are virtuous and not lonely?" Cui Shi fiercely pointed his green onion white finger at the center of her eyebrows, "That's your sister!"

Tang Yue retorted: "If I have such a sister who wants my family to be ruined, it will really be bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

Cui Shi hated that iron could not become steel, "But you shouldn't do such a thing! You use goat weed to mix acacia incense! Who taught you? Who learned it? Believe it or not, I burned all your spice recipes!"

"I'm all right, I've written it down. Besides, mother, if it weren't for my second uncle, would you be like this? Wouldn't my mother be able to afford my mother's lifespan and my mother's life? Wouldn't my mother want me to eat and drink well for others? Isn't this unfilial?"

"The second family is calculating the lives of our family! They want to use our lives to pave the way for Qingyun! Mother! If the Cui family can protect me and the second brother, then what should you, father?" Tang Yue said and said that tears were not fought to stay, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, it has been difficult to have both since ancient times!

Cui Shi was stunned, her mind was miserable, she was not good, she couldn't keep her children, she couldn't manage this family, tears slipped down, and she waved her hand to let Tang Yue leave.

Tang Yue couldn't, turned back three times in one step, and saw that Cui's was wearing a Jialing water-green full-breasted skirt covered with moon-gray wide sleeves, and a plain face without staining embroidery, under the clear window of flowers and trees, his expression became more and more miserable, as if he was not like a person in the world, and he was grief-stricken in his heart, turned around and walked out, staining his clothes with tears.

When I went back to my yard, I lay on the bed and sobbed in a low voice, and suddenly the tip of my nose smelled a different smell, sweet and greasy, and indescribably ambiguous!

Tang Yue sat up all of a sudden, didn't care about wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and stared at the stove under the window.

The aroma spread, and Tang Yue's face became heavier and heavier.

Isn't there someone to guard the door and window?

What about people?
