Chapter 3: Shame
The Tang family mansion is large and well-laid out. Everywhere you can see rockery pools, pavilion corridors, all kinds of exquisite buildings are carved with the portraits of various divine beasts, lifelike, there is a magnificent atmosphere, live up to the famous momentum.
Tang Feng and Xue'er were walking on a quiet path with beautiful scenery, and the other maids and servants who were cleaning saw them, they were all whispering, as if they were talking about something.
But Tang Feng didn't care about this, what he was thinking about now was how to go forward. Now that he has been able to cultivate, he naturally has other plans for the future.
"Yo, isn't this Tang Feng!"
Suddenly, a playful voice came.
"Tang Qi?"
Tang Feng looked for prestige, and a young man in a white shirt, with a delicate face and a burly figure was walking towards him, this person was Tang Qi, the eldest young master of the Tang family and the only son of the current patriarch Tang Xiong.
This Tang Qi was born as a wasted person who was unable to cultivate, and he was even arranged to take care of business in the family façade before.
When Tang Feng's muscles and veins were not broken, this Tang Qi pestered him like a pug all day long, with the third brother on the left and the third brother on the right, not to mention how affectionate he was. At that time, Tang Feng couldn't resist him, and often gave him advice when he was free, and encouraged him not to give up cultivation, and the relationship between the two brothers gradually improved.
But what is unexpected is that five years ago, after Tang Feng suddenly broke his tendons and veins and couldn't cultivate, this Tang Qi miraculously opened up his tendons and veins, and his cultivation speed was also amazing. In just five years, he broke through to the five-star level of cultivation!And just after Tang Qi recovered his cultivation talent and Tang Feng's muscles and veins were broken, this Tang Qi never came to Tang Feng again, and even Tang Feng sometimes forcibly practiced and fell into a coma, this Tang Qi didn't even look at Tang Feng, which really made Tang Feng realize what it means to be like thin paper!
"Big brother. Tang Feng replied reluctantly, but his eyes fell on a beautiful woman with a cold face.
I have to admit that the woman behind Tang Qi has a peerless beauty. She was wearing a cyan gauze skirt, a tight gauze skirt that hugged her body, outlining her soft figure and delicate curves.
On his chest hung a lean crystal necklace, shining in the morning light, gorgeous and magnificent. The pure face was so white that there was no trace of impurities, and his expression was as cold as an ice lotus in a snowy night, full of noble and arrogant atmosphere. The narrow eyebrows set off a pair of smart eyes with a bit of charm. The breastskirt is slightly lowered, making the snow white on the chest faintly visible, which leads to reverie.
This woman is none other than Tang Qian'er, the daughter of Tang Feng's fifth uncle Tang Yishan. Before Tang Yishan died, Tang Feng's father agreed with him to kiss a baby, which means that Tang Qian'er and Tang Feng had a marriage contract.
"Hehe, Tang Feng, looking at your ruddy complexion, it must be that your body is recovering well. Hey, it's just that she has suffered your mother, and she washes her face with tears all day long, and during the day she has to mingle in the smelly land and grab rough work with those lowly slaves and maids to make money to feed you. It's good that you're still in the mood to take a walk here and enjoy the scenery, it's really Yaxing!" Tang Qi saw Tang Xue'er, nodded, and turned to Tang Feng with a sneering sneer.
In the face of Tang Qi's sneering, Tang Feng took it seriously, his eyes swept from the hands of Tang Qi and Lin Qian'er holding together, and sneered: "The eldest brother is also very interesting, and he actually pulls and pulls with Cousin Qian'er in broad daylight." Qian'er's cousin is young and ignorant and doesn't know etiquette, but you, as the eldest brother and the son of the head of the Tang family, don't even know that Qian'er has a marriage contract with me. You are so interesting, but the fun of cheating, the third brother, I can't compare. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
At this time, Tang Qicai realized that he was still holding Tang Qian'er's hand, and his expression was a little flustered, but he was a little bit of a thief. couldn't help but look ugly and said: "Qian'er is my cousin, what is there when you come out for a walk." If you talk like that, can I think that you and Xue'er also have an unclear relationship when they come out!"
Tang Qi is also strange, this waste usually only leaves in a gloomy manner no matter how mocking it is, but he didn't expect that today the sun came out of the west and actually quarreled with himself.
"Oh, do you mean that you and Cousin Qian'er are just a simple brother and sister relationship? I'm relieved, this is what you said today, the son of the head of the Tang family, but a word is worth a thousand dollars. Tang Feng sneered again and again, Tang Qi and Tang Qian'er were in love, this was something that the entire Tang family knew, and now Tang Qi's answer was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"You!"
Tang Feng put a big hat on Tang Qi's head, Tang Qi was speechless for a moment, and he was so eloquent that it was difficult for him to find suitable words to refute for a while.
Tang Qian'er, who was standing on the side and had been silent, couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in her heart when she saw Tang Qi's aggrieved face.
"Humph!"
She suddenly snorted coldly and said disdainfully at Tang Feng, "Tang Feng, you have time to be clever here, but you are indifferent to your mother's kneeling in front of the patriarch to intercede for you, you really be a filial son!"
"What? what kneel!"
Hearing her mother Yang Suqin kneeling in front of the patriarch from Tang Qian'er's mouth, Tang Feng's originally relaxed mood suddenly tightened, and he faintly had an ominous feeling!
"Hmph, you didn't even know that your mother knelt down in front of my father for half an hour the day before yesterday, begging him to leave you in the Tang family and not be assigned to the bottom of the Tang family to take care of business, and you still walked here and enjoyed the scenery with such peace of mind, what a joke. Tang Qi, who was aggrieved for a while, saw that Yang Suqin kneeling to his father angered Tang Feng, and couldn't help but immediately seize the opportunity to shake things out.
"Brother Tang Qi, please don't say any more. Sensing that Tang Feng's emotions were a little out of control, Tang Xue'er, who knew the details, looked flustered, and hurriedly spoke out to stop Tang Qi from continuing.
"Why don't I say it! I'm just going to let this kid know what a bastard he is!"
Tang Qi was very inward-looking, pushed Tang Xue'er away, pointed at Tang Feng's nose and shouted: "The third uncle died early, the third aunt is not easy, I worked hard to pull your kid up, but you kid doesn't know how to reciprocate, relying on his cultivation talent, causing trouble everywhere outside, and finally being punished by God, and inexplicably becoming a waste." Who can blame you for this? God is not thin on your behalf, but he just made you a waste and gave you a dog's life. I see, you'd better die, lest the third aunt be at this age, and suffer the sin of kneeling down and pleading with others!"
Tang Qi seemed to raise his voice intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly, many Tang family peers also gathered around and discussed softly.
"Hey, the third brother is really, he didn't even know that the third aunt knelt down to the patriarch to plead, and he was still walking and playing here! At that time, the third aunt knelt on the ground so miserable, so the patriarch really had no choice, so he resisted the sin of flouting the clan rules and promised not to assign him to the bottom to take care of the business. ”
"Yes, even Big Brother Tang Qi is no exception, when he couldn't cultivate, he was also assigned to the façade outside the Tang family to take care of the family business, but he didn't expect that the patriarch would violate the clan rules for this kid. ”
"Hmph, it's not that the third aunt is too pitiful, but the patriarch was moved by compassion before agreeing to this. However, I felt that if it were to replace me, I would definitely hit the wall and die, and I would not be able to let my mother suffer such an insult!"
......
The voices of various discussions among his peers were like iron thorns and sharp knives that wrenched Tang Feng's heart. He never expected that his mother would suffer such an insult because of himself. 's mother was born in a famous family, and now she is kneeling in front of others for herself, Tang Feng can't imagine the grievances in her mother's heart at that time.
"I Tang Feng don't need Tang Tian's forgiveness, I am willing to be assigned to the mine to take care of the family business!"
Tang Feng was shocked, and his face turned pale. At this moment, his heart was overturned, remorseful, and full of self-blame. Even if she died, she would never let her mother suffer such an insult!
In Tang Feng's view, the reason why he has survived until now is because of a belief in his heart, that is, through his own efforts, he can make Yang Suqin and Xue'er live a good life, so as to complete the responsibility of a man. But I never thought that Xue'er and Yang Suqin would sell their jewelry for themselves and kneel down to plead!
"Bastard boy, you dare to call the patriarch by his name. The patriarch kindly let you stay in the Tang family to eat and drink for nothing, but you don't know how to appreciate it, and you are so arrogant. I will give my father a reply in this matter and let him act according to the rules of the clan!" Tang Qi snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Tang Qian'er's eyebrows moved slightly, looking at Tang Feng's crazy appearance, with a smug smile on her face, she turned around and followed Tang Qi.
"Hey, let's disperse, let's disperse, there's nothing to see. When the other peers of the Tang family saw Tang Qi leaving, they also dispersed, leaving a sigh of disappointment.
Among the peers who dispersed, there was a woman in purple who hesitated, as if she couldn't bear to leave.
"Cousin Ziying. Tang Xue'er saw that Tang Ziying did not leave, and cast helpless eyes on her.
"Tang Feng, are you alright......?"
"That's enough, Tang Ziying. I don't need pity, you can sneer at me like them, and then leave leisurely, without pretending to be sympathetic. ”
Tang Feng straightened his waist and pulled Xue'er towards his residence, leaving the woman in purple alone.
"Is this guy so incomprehensible, and always likes to take other people's concerns as sympathy and pity!" The woman in purple bit her lip tightly, and a faint glitter of crystal was visible in her eyes.
