On the second day, the weather was fine, the embroidery curtain was fine, and the people under the window were quiet and refreshed.

The incident in the West Garden the night before seemed to have never happened, everyone was doing their own work in their hands, although their faces showed gossip from time to time, but because of the last blow from the old lady, everyone didn't dare to chew their tongues anymore.

Even his own granddaughter can be so poisonous, if these people say a few more words, I am afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives.

Being an errand boy in a large family, keeping your heart and keeping your mouth shut, is the most basic quality of the slaves.

It was the immature citrus aurantium with an immature heart, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room, and after taking a few more glances under the window to make sure that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and quietly asked Tao Jiang:

"Miss, yesterday the official came to look for you, how do you know that he is cheating us?"

Tao Jiang cut off the excess branches of the green calyx plum that had just been picked from the citrus aurantium and inserted it into a plain white porcelain bottle, and then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"My grandfather had been taking medicine a few days ago, and he was thirsty during the day but couldn't sleep at night, so I mixed a soothing incense for him and sent it over. This soothing incense has an excellent effect, and you can fall asleep when you light it at the time of the unitary, so my grandfather has rested when he has not been in the morning for a few days. ”

Tao Jiang placed the vase on a ivy case, and the white porcelain green plum blossom was complementing the "Plum Blossom Picture of Treading the Snow" hanging on the wall.

"If the official has been serving in the outer courtyard, he must not know about his grandfather's early bedtime. In addition, he looked anxious and nervous that day, and he didn't have to think much to know that he had a bad heart in his heart! ”

"Then shall we just let him go?"

Tang Shi couldn't swallow this breath, and put the stove in his hand that was going to be handed to Tao Jiang on the desk again.

Tao Jiang smiled and shook his head - sluts have their own harvest, and some people can't do it themselves.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, news came from the old lady's courtyard--

It is said that the old lady lost a snuffbox, although it is not very valuable, but the loss of something in the master's house is not a trivial matter.

So Steward Chen took more than a dozen nursing homes to turn the side house where the subordinates lived upside down.

It doesn't matter if you check this, but you found fifty taels of silver in the house of a third-class guy like an official!

Steward Chen asked where the money came from, but the official couldn't answer.

If you can't answer, there is something strange in this courtyard.

Later, Steward Chen got the old lady's meaning, and he didn't want to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, so he threw the official fifty boards directly out.

Tao Jiang played with a snuff box made of agate Su as a carved Zhizhi in his hand, and looked up at the bleak branches outside the window--

This day was beaten fifty boards, and it was difficult for officials to survive.

She thought of the purse that fell from Gu Chonglou's body yesterday.

Yesterday, I bought a handwriting repeater from the business war shop with blood dripping from my heart, costing 100 points, just to sit on the private meeting between Gu Chonglou and Tao Jiang!

100 points! I don't know how long I'll have to save it back!

Luckily, it came in handy --

When Gu Chonglou was beaten by his mother-in-law, he took advantage of the crowd to tear off the purse on his waist.

When he was carried past Tao Jiang, according to the previous instructions, he took advantage of the darkness of the night to stuff the so-called love letter into his purse and threw it at his feet.

Tao Jiang knew that Tao Luo had always been infatuated with Gu Chonglou, and she must have been dizzy when this letter came out, where would she think that this letter would bring any harm to her girlfriend's name.

is such a girl who has been fascinated by the love between men and women, who has cheated herself and her old lady who harbors evil intentions.

Thinking of this, Tao Jiang called Citrus Fruit and said with a wicked smile:

"The ancestral hall has not been repaired for many years, and if the windows are a little old and can't block the wind, it's normal to think about it, right?"

Citrus was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, nodded with a smile and said let people do it immediately.

And the Gu family, on the other hand, quietly quieted down.

On the same day, Gu Chonglou's face was not a face and a nose was not a nose and was carried back, and the Gu family's mother, Zhang, took a stick and took the guy to find the Tao family desperately, but was finally stopped by Gu Shanqing, and collapsed on the ground and cried for a long time, scolding the Gu family for being useless and letting her son suffer such a great shame.

Looking at his son whose eyes were swollen and couldn't be opened, how could Gu Shanqing not feel pain in his heart?

But this matter is indeed the Gu family's fault, if he indulges his wife to break into the Tao family, they will suffer in the end.

Gu Chonglou's appearance was carried home, lying on the bed except for humming half a sentence, it was impossible to ask him to be ugly.

So Gu Shanqing asked the family to drag his son's personal servant over, pressed him in the yard and beat more than 20 boards, only then did he know that a few days ago, his sister Gu entrusted someone to pass a message to his son, asking him to go to Taofu tonight no matter what.

As for why he went to Tao's house late at night, Gu Chonglou waved his hand, and he didn't need to ask carefully, he also knew it clearly.

The Gu family and the Tao family are both merchants who came to Xiangxi County from other places to settle down.

Tao Yongjin and Gu Shanqing's father are of the same age, and they both make a living in the streets and alleys, and after a long time, the two have known each other, and from time to time they will meet at the wonton stall in East Lane to eat a bowl of hot wonton noodles together.

When the relationship was at its best, in order to save money, the two families rented a small courtyard in Xiangshui Lane together.

There is no wall between the two doors, today the Tao family made steamed buns to send two to the Gu family, and tomorrow the Tao family will make a bun and the Gu family's child will not be indispensable.

It is precisely because of this affection before the development that Gu Xiaomei and Tao Changze, the son of the Tao family, were set to kiss as babies when they were still infants.

It's just that the friendship between neighbors at the end of the world was finally broken in front of half a penny in the winter of one year.

That day, Tao Yongjin suffered from the wind and cold, and he couldn't get out of bed and had to rest in bed.

The old lady of the Gu family came over before going out and took a look at it, and said that her mother-in-law was going to Wang Yuanwai's house today to catch up with some tricks, so the two children in the family were taken care of by the Gu family.

It's normal for neighbors to help each other take care of a child.

It's just that as soon as the old lady of the Gu family came back that day, she screamed like crazy, saying that the half-hung money hanging in the basket on the beam was gone!

Half-hung money - for the Tao Gu family at that time, it was half a month's livelihood.

Mrs. Gu didn't care about any neighborhood feelings, she sat slumped in the courtyard with a handful of snot and tears, pointing at Tao Yongjin for stealing the half of the money.

Indeed, only Tao Yongjin and the two children of the Gu family who were sick in bed were left in the hospital that day.

Although Tao Yongjin loves money, what he hasn't done is on his head, how can he suffer this kind of grievance?

So he got up and rushed to the yard and quarreled with the old lady of the Gu family.

The old lady of the Gu family was angry but unreasonable, and after a few words, she couldn't scold her father or mother without any new words.

So he didn't do anything and hit Tao Yongjin's chest like a cow, but Tao Yongjin had already taken precautions, and when he reached out and pushed, the head of the old lady of the Gu family hit the stone mill in the courtyard.

Coincidentally, at this time, the old lady of the Gu family walked into the courtyard with a flat shoulder. As soon as he saw that his mother-in-law's head was bleeding, he picked up the flat pole and smashed it into Tao Yongjin's face without saying a word......

Before dawn on the second day, the Gu family moved out of the small house in Xiangshui Lane; As soon as the lease period arrived, the Tao family also moved out, and so far, one west and one south, the two families have no contact.

It wasn't until a long time later, when the old lady of the Gu family lay on the bed with only his last breath left, that Gu Xiaomei told his father with tears in her eyes--

The half-hung money was actually stolen by himself, and he invited all the children in the alley to eat candy.

The old lady of the Gu family tried her best to raise her hand, wanting to slap her daughter again, but in the end, she drew an arc in mid-air, pointed at Gu Xiaomei weakly and said:

"The marriage with the Tao family can't be broken, you ...... You marry me! ”
