Chapter 22: Not Present Today

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, just in time to come over to my uncle, Ming's went to the kitchen early, and Tang Jiao was also helping by the side.

Before it gets dark, all kinds of festive lanterns are hung in the house.

Nullah Cheng brought a carriage of gifts, most of which were given to her and the Ming family by her grandfather and grandmother, and the rest of the nullah was given to the people in the house.

The fat girl also got it.

In fact, the fat girl should be said to be the maid of the Ming family, who was bought by her grandmother back then.

Like her, Fat Ya only came to Bicheng County eight years ago, and she has a deep homesickness for Jiangnan.

Just a pair of Gangnam-style silk flowers was enough to make her happy.

After packing up the night's food, Tang Jiao planned to go back and change her clothes.

The fat girl put on silk flowers and followed behind Tang Jiao and chattered about those people in Jiangnan.

The master and servant were talking happily, and in the corner in front of them, one of them was not paying attention and almost bumped into the oncoming person.

Tang Jiao was grabbed by the comer's arm, and when she stood up, the other party also withdrew her hand.

"Walk well."

"Brother?" Tang Jiao's tail tone is all up.

Just seeing Chen Peiyao's outfit clearly, she paused.

I saw that he was dressed in black from beginning to end, and even his cloak was dark.

"Brother, are you going out?"

Chen Peiyao replied lightly.

Tang Jiao saw that his face was not very good, and his eyes were very dull.

"But you're not feeling well?"

"Brother knows, my uncle is here, I told you a few days ago, my uncle is also at the dinner, I can't miss my brother then, brother don't go out, I asked the doctor to come over."

She tilted her head back, her big eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Peiyao looked at her like this, his expression was a little struggling, but after a while, he still said: "It's not to see the doctor, I have something to deal with, so I'll leave first." ”

After a pause, he added, "You don't have to wait for me at night. ”

As the words fell, he and her staggered and walked out.

The detached gesture instantly seemed to go back to the moment when they first met.

Tang Jiao opened her mouth and wanted to call him, but looking at his back, she closed her mouth again.

"What's wrong with the eldest young master? I don't think I'm happy. The fat girl muttered.

Even the fat girl can see it, how can Tang Jiao not know?

Chen Peiyao has something to do, and he may not come back for dinner, because she also made his favorite dishes.

Suppressing the little loss in her heart, Tang Jiao retracted her gaze and continued to walk towards her yard.

Don't come and pull down.

After a brief tidying up, Tang Jiao went to the front yard.

It's already lively.

Tang Jiao and a few of them saluted the elders one by one, and then found a place to sit down.

Tang Bufan had never seen Nullah Cheng, he was very unfamiliar with this uncle, and all his thoughts were on eating.

It was Tang Min who enthusiastically poured wine for Nullah, the uncle was long and the uncle was shorter, and he took the initiative more than Tang Jiao, his niece and daughter.

There is also Zhou Dazhuang, he didn't go back to his house today, sitting on the table at this time, his eyes are floating around, and he doesn't know what he is calculating like Zhou.

With Tang Jiude and Tang Shi'an in the dining room, the atmosphere on the table has never cooled down.

After they were full of wine and food, the two Tang Jiude brothers had already drunk too much and were taken back by their subordinates.

It's not too early, and everyone else has dispersed, so Nullah Cheng has a chance to talk to Ming.

The brother and sister sat on the couch in the side hall, Tang Jiao and the fat girl stayed beside them, listening to them chatting about things at home in the vernacular.

As he spoke, he talked about Chen Peiyao.

"I didn't see the kid during the dinner." Nullah Cheng said, his tone a little displeased.

Ming's expression darkened slightly, "It's okay if he didn't come, his body is weak, and he has cooled down in the past few days, so he is sick again." ”

"How unruly is it? Didn't you tell your mistress beforehand? ”

Ming's mouth moved, "Where can I control him, husband, he won't let me meddle in that child's affairs." ”

"In the past, I didn't think Tang Jiude was a sober person, if I knew that he and Ge Ji had children, I wouldn't let you marry him back then." Nullah became angry.

When Ming heard this, he subconsciously spoke for Tang Jiude, "Actually, my husband treats me very well......

"What's good? You're so old, why don't you see you grow a little bit of heart? ”

"Didn't you see it at the dinner table? He deliberately let his nephew have a long face in front of me, and when I mentioned Jiaojiao's marriage, he was stunned to change the topic, and extraordinary, extraordinary only enlightened this year? He still thinks it's too early to hear what he means! He spends more time on his brother's house than you do. ”

It was hard for Tang Jiao to disagree, and she couldn't help but nod.

Ming opened his mouth, wanting to speak for Tang Jiude but found that there was nothing to say.

Nullah Cheng sighed helplessly.

"There is an excellent concubine in the front, and there is a biased younger brother's family in the back, have you ever thought about how difficult it is for you?"

"It's okay to say that it's not ordinary, but Jiaojiao has reached the age of discussing relatives, what a good family do you expect him to find for Jiaojiao?"

Ming lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and still told the Zhou family about Tang Jiao's calculation last time.

Nullah slapped the table angrily.

"Bastards, bastards!"

"You're also confused, if you weren't Jiaojiao and clever, wouldn't you push her into the fire pit?"

Tang Jiao saw that Ming's was sad, sat down beside her to comfort her, and said to Ming Qucheng: "My brother also helped me in that matter, in fact, he was very good to me." ”

Nullah Chengcai didn't believe it, "Keep an eye on everything, he didn't grow up with you, how deep can he feel?" How can I be good to you for no reason. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I know it."

Nullah Cheng sighed helplessly, "I just heard your mother say that you are in the silk business?" ”

"Yes."

"It's late today, let me see your craft tomorrow, after all, it was taught by our Ming family, don't let me down."

Tang Jiao smiled, "Naturally, the craftsmanship can't catch up with my uncle, so my uncle might as well stay for a while and teach me." ”

When she received a letter from her uncle, she had this plan.

My uncle's silk skills have been inherited by my grandmother, and it would be best if I could guide her.

This night, Tang Jiao accompanied Ming Qucheng and Ming's to chat late, and drank some wine, and was a little unstable under her feet when she was helped by the fat girl to walk to the backyard.

After walking all the way, she was much more awake by the cold wind, and when she passed by Chen Peiyao's yard, she saw that the lights were still on inside, and she raised her feet and walked in.
