Chapter 131: The Best of Both Worlds

Lan Tingshu was beaten, and what she said to Xia Yan reached Xia Xunqiu, she knew Lan Tingshu too well and knew that she was inseparable from her brother. After all, he is his own brother, and he doesn't take this matter to heart. In the past more than a month, this matter has been spread in the capital, and the Marquis of Yunyang has spared no effort to try to pull it over. Xia Mansion seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the waves are turbulent, especially the inner family members are talking about this matter, and several ladies are even more ill-intentioned, because the wife of the main house, Cao Guan, only has this one son, if the crime is implemented, their son will inherit the title, Xia Zhan's family property will naturally belong to his son, and he will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

After listening to it a lot, Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but worry about his brother, if he was really convicted, how could his mother live. Although she fasted and recited the Buddha, she must have heard about it, and whether she had the ability or not, she could only ask the Bodhisattva to keep her son safe. Xia Xunqiu saw these in his eyes, he didn't want to break them, and he didn't dare to tell his father, and he didn't want to ask his brother.

On this day, I took the spring and the winter, took the carriage out of the inner city to the outer city, and unconsciously came to the Xidingmen military camp.

Still Jianchun understood Miss's thoughts, looked at the barracks and said to himself: "I don't know if Lord Tang is there, when I get to his place, I have to let him break the bank!".

Chip Dong has only met Tang Tong once or twice, and he doesn't know much about Miss and his affairs. Suspiciously, he asked, "Is Miss Lan not here?".

Jian Chun patted her lightly and said to Xia Xunqiu: "Miss! There is a teahouse in front, should I rest my feet and drink some tea after walking for a long time?", seeing that Xia Xunqiu did not squeak, he shouted to the coachman: "Stop!" Miss is going down.".

Jian Chun and Ti Dong went down first, Xia Xunqiu hesitated for a while, and then opened the curtain and got out of the car with the help of Jian Chun. Came to the teahouse to ask for a private room to sit down, and after Xia Xunqiu drank a few sips of tea, Jian Chun said inquiringly: "I'll go and see if Master Tang is here, and ask him to come and ask for questions.", his eyes kept looking at her.

Seeing that Miss didn't speak, I knew that it was a tacit acquiescence. Turn around and go out, let the four nursing homes guard the door, and then leave with confidence.

It was only half an hour in the morning, Jian Chun led Tang Tong to come, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Tang Tong's voice: "Miss Xia!" Long time no see, how are you lately?", lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it, with a humble and gentlemanly expression.

Xia Xunqiu looked at him with deliberate eyes, full of expectation, and said thoughtfully: "Lord Tang is still in good spirits, I can't help but admire, sit!", pointing to the opposite seat as he spoke.

Choo Dong moved and asked Tang Tong to sit down. At this time, when the tea came, Tang Tong's teacup lid scraped the floating tea leaves, and asked insincerely, "Miss Xia!" There must be something wrong with me, please say!", his eyes didn't look at her, there was Lan Tingmei in the past, Tang Tong was a little presumptuous, and only the two of them were restrained.

Xia Shunqiu admired him very much for this and saw what kind of etiquette people maintained. has nothing to do with Lan Tingmei, that is to treat her as a beard, but she is cautious with herself.

"Recently, I heard that Miss Lan is worried about her cousin's affairs, but it's a pity that he can't come out, do you want to send you a message or something?", Xia Xunqiu still started with Lan Tingmei's matter, in fact, the two of them can't do without her every time they talk, and the real conversation between the two has not yet happened. Unconsciously, Xia Xunqiu really wanted to talk to Tang Tong, but it was not very convenient.

"A few days ago, she sent someone to find me and asked me to help her cousin, but I couldn't excuse myself, in fact, I felt quite guilty.", Tang Tong did not shy away from saying what was on his mind.

"Do you don't want to help her, or is there another reason?", Xia Xunqiu still saw Tang Tong very thoroughly, and felt that he still had something hidden in his heart.

"The main thing is that I can't do it, and besides, doesn't it have anything to do with Miss Xia?", at this time, Tang Tong was looking at Xia Xunqiu, as if he was a little aggrieved, and expected her to understand.

When the four eyes met, Xia Xunqiu was a little flustered, bowed his head and said, "What does this have to do with me?".

Tang Tong also felt uncomfortable, supported the table with both hands, looked at his hands and said, "It's not related to Xia Gongzi, I'm afraid that I accidentally spoil a big thing, I'm sorry for my conscience.", he shook his head and laughed.

Xia Xunqiu was very happy when he heard that he was caring about himself. But he still took into account his friend's feelings, and said a little guiltily: "Miss Lan can rely on you, you have to stretch out your hand, don't think too much.".

Tang Tong didn't expect Xia Xunqiu to be so magnanimous and didn't dare to believe it, because women often think differently than they say. Asked tentatively: "I don't quite understand what Miss Xia means, the Marquis of Yunyang is ashamed of me, and Xia has the grace to promote me, how can I be ungrateful, I am not such a person!", straightened his waist when he spoke, and his words could not be slandered.

Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, how did the ghost in front of him become the same as a child, but this kind of resolute and loyal position was praised in his heart. Some couldn't help but wake up: "Can't there be the best of both worlds?".

Tang Tong looked at Xia Xunqiu hesitating, wanting to say but not wanting to say, a little overwhelmed. Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but ask, "Does Lord Tang have something unspeakable?" Seeing Tang Tong nodded, he then said, "Don't worry! Tell me about it!".

If you don't say it, it will be hypocritical, and she said very reluctantly: "Then I'm afraid I will hurt innocent people, I'm afraid that Miss Xia won't bear it.".

Xia Xunqiu heard that she was thinking about herself, and her heart was touched, which was also what she didn't want to see, her head tilted to the side, and she lowered her head in thought. I was afraid that I would blame myself, and my heart had already been seen through by Tang Tong. Thinking of Lan Tingmei suddenly, she turned her head to look at Tang Tong and asked, "It seems that you have a way, are you worthy of Miss Lan in this way?".

"If it's Miss Lan's business, I will do my best, but for Yao Can, it will inevitably touch Xia Xiang, and I can tell the benefits and harms between them. Besides, this matter is difficult to do, so there is no need to stir up this muddy water.", saying what he thought in his heart, Tang Tong was no longer depressed.

Tang Tong was right, but Xia Xunqiu had already made up his mind, stood up and saluted: "I can't take care of so much now, think of a way to get both. For me and for Miss Lan, I beg Lord Tang for help!", bowed deeply after speaking.

This made Tang Tong very embarrassed, a little hurried, and immediately stood up, not stepping forward, not retreating, so he had to keep nodding his head and said, "Okay!" Good! I'm going to investigate, and I won't come to see you until I do this!", he turned around and strode out of the private room, and his figure disappeared.

Xia Xunqiu thought that Tang Tong would prevaricate, but he didn't expect it to be so crisp, so he left in response. Everyone is gone, their eyes are still staring at the door, and they are at a loss for a moment. Seeing that Miss was so out of shape, Jian Chun came up and said: "Miss Lan can't ask for each other again and again, Miss will go immediately as soon as she opens her mouth, and Lord Tang still listens to Miss.".

"Yes, the young lady bowed and said a lot of good things.", as soon as Jian Chun's words fell, Tuo Dong said uninterestingly.

Jian Chun was angry when he heard this, and reprimanded: "What do you know? Who has ever seen a promise to turn around and do it, this is to put the words of the young lady in his heart.", said and went to help Xia Shunqiu sit down, although he didn't agree, but he had no choice but to stop talking.

"Lord Tang is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and if Miss wants him to do it, he must be duty-bound!", Jian Chun was afraid that Miss would misunderstand what he meant, so he explained it.

Only if you don't understand winter, how can you not know in summer and autumn, and it's not good to wear it in person. Pretending to be worried, he said: "Did I force him to be too anxious, this matter was originally difficult to handle, did he handle it well?".

Jianchun nodded confidently, "Miss, don't worry!" Lord Tang had already known in his heart, and he didn't agree to Miss Lan at first, just because he was afraid of offending Miss. Since this matter should be handled well, no one else will be involved.".

The girl ring around her is only Jianchun will look at her face, if you don't say it, as soon as you speak, she will hit the nail on the head, Xia Xunqiu listened to it and felt comfortable, smiled at Jianchun, and said knowingly: "Borrow your auspicious words, I wish Lord Tang all the best!".

Jianchun nodded and ordered: "Prepare for the winter, the young lady is going back, you go down and prepare first!", Jianchun's words and the preparation of the winter did not dare to disobey, so he went down, and there were only two masters and servants in the room.

"Lord Tang was very wooden just now, I was a little embarrassed to see Miss, it was completely different from the past, I am sure he likes Miss you." Seeing that there was no one else, Jian Chun began to tease.

Xia Xunqiu just looked at her and was not surprised. Jian Chun was even more bold, and said with a smile: "Tang Da is both civil and military, and he plays the piano well, and he has a common hobby with Miss, so he will definitely talk. Miss don't think about it?".

"Say what? He's much older than me, and besides, his conditions aren't suitable.", Xia Xunqiu actually had this idea in his heart, but he didn't make a decision, and reflexively expressed his concerns.

"When you are old and mature, you will know the preciousness of losing it after you have been married, and it will hurt people more. Besides, he is a rich man, and he will not be wronged. I can hear that he is the most popular in the capital now, and many ladies are looking at him, but fortunately his heart is not here.", Jian Chun said and looked at Xia Xunqiu, it was completely a good sister talking, without the restraint between master and servant.

Xia Xunqiu didn't expect that Jian Chun, who didn't know the love between men and women, talked about love affairs one by one, as if it was not herself who she loved. Knocking and saying: "When did you become a veteran in the love field, to put it so mysteriously, do you want to marry him?".

"Miss is really good at making fun, I'm thinking about Miss, since the last Suntai meeting, Lord Tang has become famous, and he has refused several marriages, how dare I deceive people.", Jian Chun thought about it in his heart, it was just a thought, and it was even more unrealistic, seeing that Miss doubted herself, she immediately defended herself, and her face did not show a trace of timidity.

Xia Xunqiu smiled, her purpose was just to protect, it seems that there is no such thing. Warning: "There is Miss Lan! Don't mention this matter again in the future, or I will punish you.", said and stared at Jian Chun, what he said was serious.

Jian Chun understood, with Lan Tingmei in front of her, the young lady didn't admit that she had a good impression of Tang Tong, so she quickly nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll never say it again.", sighing in my heart Miss has a good heart, and she doesn't want to be sorry for her friends, but she is actually doing useless work..

Xia Xunqiu's words had been pointed out, and he had no worries, so he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Let's go!" I hope that Lord Tang will succeed as you say.",

Jian Chun was full of confidence and felt that the young lady didn't know Tang Tong too well. Go open the door first, and then help Xia Shunqiu to leave.
