Chapter 26: Persecution
Tang Jiao twisted her eyebrows, "What are you still doing here?" ”
"Look at you."
Tang Jiao retracted her gaze in disgust.
Gu Youwei simply leaned on the window, and half of his body leaned into the room, "I went out this time to bring you something." ”
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and when he opened it, there was a pair of carnelian earrings.
"Do you think this looks good? The first thing I saw was that you must look good in it. ”
Tang Jiao took a deep breath and looked at him again, "Gu Youwei, how much money does the Zhou family give you to be worth your attention to me like this?" ”
Gu Youwei was still holding the pair of earrings in his palm, and he was stunned for a moment with a smile on his face when he heard this, "Why do you miss me like this?" I Gu Youwei does things above board, I like you just like it, what's the matter with others? I don't bother to have anything to do with the Zhou family. ”
He looked serious and spoke in a very serious tone.
His posture made Tang Jiao's heart even more scornful.
But in the last life, he admitted this matter personally, and his purpose was impure from the beginning when he contacted her.
After Ming's suicide, she was full of despair, and she forced her breath to see Gu Youwei's side and asked about it.
To this day, Tang Jiao still remembers Gu Youwei's expression at that time.
He was surprised for a moment, then angry, "Who told you that?" ”
She dragged her broken body, already inputting less air and exhaling more, "You just say, yes or no?" ”
He gasped heavily, squatted down and lay on her bedside, caressing the scar on her face lovingly, "Yes, I did approach you with impure intentions......
She couldn't listen to anything else, and pushed him away with the last bit of strength in her body.
Then, with remorse and hatred, the lights go out.
"I really don't like the way you look, I won't be with you even if I'm lonely for the rest of my life, so you should die, waste this time on me, you might as well do something else."
After the words fell, she continued to make silk.
For some reason, Gu Youwei's chest was bitter, and for a moment, it seemed that emotions that did not belong to him poured in.
The carnelian earrings were held in the palm of his hand, and the hook on them made his palms hurt.
He looked at Tang Jiao's side face, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a lonely expression: "I don't know, I've been having some strange dreams lately, and a voice told me that I must treat you well, otherwise I will regret it, and then I did it." ”
Tang Jiao only thought he was talking nonsense, and didn't take it seriously.
"Tang Jiao, if your second aunt didn't look for me at the beginning, and I approached you, would you still hate me?"
His expression suddenly became serious.
"Yes."
She couldn't let go of the events of the previous life.
Even if he didn't come to provoke her in this life, Gu Youwei was a hated existence in her.
"Why? I always felt that you had an inexplicable hostility towards me. ”
It's not inexplicable.
That's the resentment that has accumulated in the previous life.
Tang Jiao naturally couldn't tell him this.
Gu Youwei lay on the window and stared at her for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.
"Wow, why should I do this?"
"Come on, I won't bother you anymore, I have something to tell me."
The man waved his hand and walked away.
Tang Jiao raised her eyes and saw that the person was indeed gone, but there was still a pair of earrings on the windowsill.
Closing his eyes hard, he suddenly thought of some trivial things in his previous life and Gu Youwei.
At that time, they had just gotten married, because it was a marriage that Tang Jiude did not allow, she didn't have any dowry, and even the fat girl still managed to send it to her by Ming's side.
She can almost be said to have been swept out of the house, and can only live in a dilapidated thatched house with Gu Youwei.
But in those days, Gu Youwei never let her suffer, and he did his best to let her eat and live well.
The most valuable thing she received from Gu Youwei was a pair of earrings, unlike at this time, that pair of earrings was a very good fat mutton fat jade, which Gu Youwei hunted a wild boar of more than 200 catties in exchange.
But when she received something, her first quarrel with Gu Youwei broke out.
At that time, Gu Youwei was almost pierced in the shoulder by fangs when he was hunting the wild boar, and she didn't want Gu Youwei to buy this kind of thing with the money she had exchanged for half her life.
She asked him to take the earrings back, but Gu Youwei found all kinds of reasons.
Gu Youwei was too cautious about her, she felt sweet at first, but once it was a long time, she thought about it more.
She was ready to be a poor couple with him, and he felt guilty.
This unequal mind tormented the two of them.
That night, Gu Youwei didn't go back to the house to sleep, sat in the courtyard until dawn, knocked on the door, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said a decision that changed his fate.
He said he was going to join the army.
In the second year of their marriage, he settled his family and followed the march of the army to the battlefield.
During the three years he was on the battlefield, they exchanged letters, and between the lines were their love.
She waited until he returned to his hometown and went to the capital with him, thinking that she wanted to be the wife of a general, but she didn't think that what was waiting for her was the abyss that she could never turn back to.
interrupted these irritating memories, called the fat girl, and asked her to return the pair of earrings to Gu Youwei.
In the days that followed, she devoted all her thoughts and energy to silk.
Almost every few days, a batch of silk can be sent to the top grade, this day Tang Jiao was discussing with Wei Shulin in the weaving workshop about expanding the manufacturing bureau, and Tang Jiude walked in.
"Jiaojiao, I heard that you are recruiting again?"
The smile was really amiable, and Tang Jiao knew what he must be thinking when he saw him like this.
"Daddy is well-informed."
"That's, what's going on in the house that can be hidden from my eyes?"
Tang Jiude sat down opposite, "You guys are just talking about this, don't you, continue." ”
Wei Shulin looked at Tang Jiao, and Tang Jiao motioned for him to sit down.
"Don't worry, there must be something wrong with Dad coming here, you might as well say it first."
Tang Jiude took a sip of tea first.
"It's not a big deal, it's not that I heard that you are going to recruit people here, it just so happens that I have some people to introduce to you."
Tang Jiao said in her heart, sure enough.
From the moment Tang Jiude came in and asked, she almost guessed this.
"I don't know where the high saint is from my father's fortress?"
"It's not a high saint, aren't you short of people here? A few days ago, someone from my hometown begged me, so I arranged for them to come to you to do something. ”
Tang Jiao put down the teacup, "I can't guarantee this, after all, not everyone can stay." ”
Tang Jiude was not happy when he heard her words, "I said, why are you so brainless?" If you teach others, how can you teach our own people? I'll let people come over tomorrow, and you can teach them. ”
Tang Jiao chuckled at the corner of her mouth, "It seems that Dad is making up his mind for me." ”
"I'm your father, and it's only right for me to be your master."
Tang Jiao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the coldness in her eyes, "Even if my father brings people tomorrow, it will have to pass my test, if I can't pass it, I will naturally not leave people behind." ”
"I think you're just stiff in your wings, and now you don't even listen to me, right?"
As soon as Tang Jiude slapped the tea table, the tea in the tea bowl was shaken out, and the weaver girls outside were also collectively silenced.
Ming walked in, looked at Tang Jiao and then looked at Tang Jiude.
"You father and daughter have something to say, don't hurt the harmony."
Tang Jiude snorted coldly, "Look at the good daughter you taught, I just asked her to teach a few people, and she just excused herself like this." ”
"Dad, it's not that I don't accept it, first of all, I have to have basic skills to recruit people here, if the people you brought can't even tell the color of the silk thread, and the shuttle can't be used, how can I accept them?"
"Making silk is a matter of mental energy, if I want to teach even these, wouldn't it exhaust my daughter to death?"
Tang Jiude listened to it, but he didn't take her seriously at all, and after listening to it, he said, "Why are you tired to death?" You have less time to sleep on weekdays. ”
Even if the Ming clan obeyed Tang Jiude on weekdays, they couldn't help but speak for Tang Jiao after listening to his words at this time.
"Jiaojiao is already very weekdays, how can she survive if she sleeps less."
Tang Jiude looked at the Ming clan with disgust, "What do you women know?" Don't chime in. ”
looked at Tang Jiao again, "You should put in more effort at a young age, so let's just say it, I'll bring someone over tomorrow, and you will teach you carefully in the future." ”
Seeing that Tang Jiao lowered his eyes and looked at the tea table without speaking, he said again: "Did you hear me speak?" Don't be stupid and let your family not teach others. ”
Tang Jiao raised her head, her big eyes were bright, and she looked obedient, "I know." ”
Tang Jiude nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll go first, I won't come back tonight, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”
Seeing his figure disappear, the smile in Tang Jiao's eyes disappeared completely.
Ming wanted to speak and stopped looking at Tang Jiao.
Wei Shulin's worried gaze also fell on Tang Jiao.
"Miss, the recruitment ......"
"You do the same."
"But the old man ......"
"I'll figure it out."
"Yes."
Wei Shulin left, and the Ming family stepped forward, "Jiaojiao, do you really accept the relatives of the Tang family that your father said?" ”
Naturally, Ming didn't want to.
She can see that none of these relatives of the Tang family are easy to get along with, how can they let them pester her daughter?
"Jiaojiao, if you don't want to, I'll talk to your father again."
"Mother, do you think my father can be persuaded like that? Leave that alone. Tang Jiao in turn appeased the Ming family.
"What about those people?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to keep them."
She seemed to have an idea, so Ming was not so worried.
