Chapter 37: This Father
Chen Peiyao returned to the Tang Mansion here, stopped when passing by Tang Jiao's courtyard, hesitated for a moment and walked in.
The lights in the house were on, and the fat girl was cleaning up outside, watching him come in and salute, and then shouted to Tang Jiao inside.
"Young master, please take a seat, the young lady is in the middle room, and I will come out later."
Tang Jiu sat down at the table, and the fat girl went out to make tea.
After a while, Tang Jiao walked out.
Dressed casually, my hair is still wet, and my cheeks are wet, which is just after taking a shower.
"Brother is looking for me?"
Tang Jiao sat down next to him, and there was a faint aroma wafting in the air.
It belongs to Tang Jiao.
Chen Peiyao shrank back without a trace, but he didn't actually pull any distance.
"It's okay, come over your yard and take a look."
But Chen Peiyao is like this, Tang Jiao doesn't believe that he is fine.
looked at her, but Chen Peiyao looked away first.
"Does the master want to arrange someone for your weaving workshop again?" Chen Peiyao asked.
He didn't call Tang Jiude's father or father, others only said that he was alienated from Tang Jiude, but Tang Jiao knew that he was not Tang Jiude's son at all, where could he call out his father to such a person?
"Yes, but now that I've moved out, he doesn't have a chance to put someone on my side."
"But he is your father after all, and there are ways to make you obedient."
After Chen Peiyao finished speaking, Tang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Peiyao and asked, "Does my brother have something to tell me?" ”
Chen Peiyao has something to say in his words.
Chen Peiyao paused for a moment and asked, "If he uses your marriage to control you, what should you do?" ”
Tang Jiao twisted her eyebrows.
She had thought that with Tang Jiude's virtue, her marriage must be beneficial to the Tang Mansion and him, and such a person didn't seem to have appeared yet, so she wasn't in a hurry.
"Probably not, I'm still young, and besides, my father will definitely not decide my marriage so hastily."
Chen Peiyao's gaze fell on her face.
Sigh secretly.
"I think you're smart."
His words made Tang Jiao curious, "What's the matter, brother, you have been saying such unpredictable things since you just came in, do you still have to hide when you talk to me?" ”
There was accusation in her big eyes.
The longer I get along with her, the more I can find that she actually has a lot of small temperament, but she will only show it in front of people she trusts completely.
Sighing lightly, Chen Peiyao said, "I heard that the master plans to find you a son-in-law." ”
When he said this, he stared at Tang Jiao, and sure enough, he saw that she was stunned for a moment.
"He's so despicable!"
She didn't question how he knew about it.
He believed his words very much, but this made Chen Peiyao happy and angry.
What is happy is Tang Jiao's trust in him.
What is angry is that Tang Jiude, the father, has failed so much that Tang Jiao, the daughter, will not defend him.
Tang Jiao was so angry that he almost threw the teacup in his hand.
She knew that Tang Jiude was playing with silk, but she didn't expect him to even think of such a despicable method.
Although I knew what virtues he had, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in my heart.
Tang Jiude looked at her tense little face, and said, "After all, you are the master's own daughter, he will not make such a decision without asking what you mean, it is estimated that this method was thought up by the second room." ”
Tang Jiao couldn't hear that he was comforting her.
But it wasn't necessary.
Tang Jiude's virtue has long been clear to her.
"Dad's side has already given people down?" She asked.
"It hasn't been decided yet, but the person who was chosen for the master in the second room is Zhou Dazhuang."
Tang Jiao paused for a moment, and then laughed angrily.
"A thief's heart doesn't die."
There was a Gu Youwei who hooked up with her before, and when he saw that he didn't succeed, he began to think of this despicable method.
Before, they felt that she was in the way of them in the Tang Mansion, but now? Do you want her to marry Zhou Dazhuang, so that Zhou Dazhuang can control her?
Or do you want Zhou Dazhuang to take over the Tang family after becoming a son-in-law?
"What are you going to do?" Chen Peiyao asked.
Tang Jiao calmed herself down.
For a while, she couldn't think of any way.
"Zhou Dazhuang was only thirteen or fourteen years old that day, and Tang Jiude couldn't let me marry him immediately, even if he betrothed us to a family, there would be variables after a long time."
After some time, it is not certain who is in charge of this Tang family.
Seeing Tang Jiao's look, Chen Peiyao knew that she could handle it.
"You still have to be careful, the kind of person in the second room can do anything if he is in a hurry."
Tang Jiao nodded in agreement, "Thank you brother for reminding me about this." ”
Fortunately, Chen Peiyao told her in advance, otherwise she would really be at a loss at that time.
"It's a gesture."
After a pause, Chen Peiyao asked, "Do you need my help?" ”
Tang Jiao's smile regained on her face, "No." ”
Chen Peiyao may not be able to help with this kind of thing.
But Chen Peiyao didn't think so.
Tang Jiao's words fell, and he subconsciously pursed his lips.
Tang Jiao sometimes subconsciously rejected his kindness.
Always afraid of troublesome his appearance.
Chen Peiyao didn't like it.
They're obviously not that kind of estranged relationship anymore.
He looked at Tang Jiao for a moment, then looked away, "It's good if you have your own ideas, I'll go first, rest early." ”
"Okay."
Tang Jiao got up to send him out, but was stopped by Chen Peiyao.
"It's cold outside, so don't come out."
"Brother walk slowly."
Tang Jiao watched Chen Peiyao walk out of the door and out of the yard again, and the smile on her face gradually subsided.
The fat girl came in with tea and didn't see Chen Peiyao.
"The eldest young master is gone? What's the matter with Miss? ”
"It's fine."
Tang Jiao sat down, took the tea poured by the fat girl, and asked, "The second room has been quite peaceful recently?" ”
The fat girl snorted, "What's Anfen, didn't Zhou Juan come to choose a weaver last time?" After that, I lived in the second room, and I haven't left until now. ”
"I haven't seen her in the house." Tang Jiao said.
"Well, I guess I was scared by the master's warning last time, and I didn't dare to provoke the eldest young master."
Tang took a sip of tea.
Living in the house, but there is no movement in the second room, this shouldn't be.
The account in the second room has not yet been settled, and the food and clothing are still according to the simplest, with Zhou's character, how can he bear to eat with two more mouths?
Or is it possible to pull out the silver from the side of the second room?
"You let people stare at the second room, and tell me in time if there is any movement."
"Okay."
