The Golden Bough and the Dog vs 31

Bai Xiangxiang has been compared with Tang Xian since he was a child, and when he was saved by her, he felt embarrassed, and said stiffly: "Don't think that if you save me, I will be grateful to you, and I am not rare to be saved by you." ”

Tang Xian was also very polite, "Then you will return my life-saving grace."

"What do you want?"

Tang Xian thought for a while and said, "Three taels of silver." ”

Three or two.

Bai Xiangxiang is so angry!

The golden branches and jade leaves of her dignified white mansion have been pampered since she was a child, and she is no worse than Tang Xian. A handkerchief alone is worth ten taels of silver, but how can she herself be worth only three taels of silver?

"You insult people!" She shouted angrily.

"Then three thousand taels is good." Tang Xian changed her words with kindness.

Three taels was too little, three thousand taels was too much, and Bai Xiangxiang had not long been married at that time, and the moon silver he had accumulated in his hands was only more than 100 taels.

She could withdraw it from the account room, but three thousand taels was not a small amount, and the family would definitely ask her what she wanted the money for, and she wanted to be face-saving, and she was unwilling to tell the story of being saved by Tang Xian.

When he was in a dilemma, the servants came looking for him.

There is no one between the Bai and Tang families, from the master at the top to the servants at the bottom, who do not fight each other.

Seeing this, Tang Xian didn't mention the three thousand taels again, and led the people away.

Bai Xiangxiang was first frightened, then lost face in front of Tang Xian, and angrily rushed into the carriage to return home, where he saw Tang Xian buying a row of clay figurines and handing over exactly three taels of silver.

Bai Xiangxiang was angry, and he was determined to slowly save up the monthly money, half a year was not enough, just one year or two years, and he could always save enough three thousand taels to return to her.

Unfortunately, less than a month after that incident, Tang Xian was sent to the palace to be the queen's mother.

For another two months, the Tang family was in trouble.

Bai Xiangxiang thought that Tang Xian would coerce her grandfather to intercede, but in the end, he did not wait for Tang Xian's help.

After that, the grandfather of the Tang family was gone, Tang Xian went to the imperial tomb, and the two never met again.

No outsiders knew about the life-saving grace that time, and Bai Xiangxiang finally collected the three thousand taels of silver from everyone, but he could no longer repay her.

All she could do was that after meeting Tang's parents in Yuzhou a few years ago, she quietly sent a message to the imperial mausoleum without telling Tang Xian that her parents and siblings were all right.

Now her face is haggard, because of Lou Qianhe's words a few days ago.

He said that he had met Tang Xian in the capital.

How is this possible?

Bai Xiangxiang temporarily lied to Lou Qianhe, making the other party think that he had recognized the wrong person, but in the end, he couldn't be sure whether Tang Xian had really entered the capital, and he felt uneasy.

She sent people to secretly search for Tang Xian in Beijing for several days, but Tang Xian was never seen.

When she was worried about her forehead, Meng Lan entered the house and asked worriedly, "Why are you still not energetic?" Why don't you ask a doctor to check your pulse? ”

Bai Xiangxiang was bored in his heart, and glanced at him, "I said no, you don't bother me." ”

Meng Lan had long been accustomed to the temper of this eldest lady, poured warm water for her and handed it over, and when she saw that her face softened after drinking it, she asked again: "But is it related to the recent search for someone?" Who are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I've seen it. ”

Tang Xian's whereabouts involved the lives of several members of the Tang family, and Bai Xiangxiang even hid Meng Lan.

She didn't want to pay attention to Meng Lan, the Meng family only entered Beijing three years ago, and Tang Xian had already gone to the imperial tomb at that time, so it was strange that he could see it.

Needless to say, he kept asking, disturbing people's purity.

Bai Xiangxiang followed the words made up last time: "When I returned to my ancestral hometown of Yuzhou a year ago, I was almost hit by a horse and was rescued by a girl named Shuang'er. I heard that she had come to Beijing to look for relatives, but I couldn't find her, and my heart was not steady. ”

Meng Lan was distressed when she heard that she was almost injured, and she was scolded for a few words before stopping, and thought, "Is there a portrait?" I'll go to Jing Zhaoyin and say it, let's put up a portrait ......."

"Shut up!" Bai Xiangxiang was about to be angry with him and ordered him not to make any decisions.

Later, after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Xiangxiang felt that "finding a needle in the sea was never the way to go," so he wrote a simple letter while he was alone.

Then he called his confidant servant and ordered someone to secretly send him to the imperial tomb.

Hopefully, this letter will be delivered quietly.

.

Yun stopped returning to the palace and read the records related to the imperial tomb, and was lost by these old ancestors.

In the early stage, the emperor's mausoleum was not a small number of burial items, but it was a pity that there were a few faint kings in the middle, one of whom almost lost the country during his reign, was invaded by traitors into the capital, and the imperial tomb was looted long ago, and it was precisely because of this that the imperial tomb began to set up heavy guards.

At this time, the clouds stopped digging again, and I am afraid that I can only dig out the jewelry that the traitor accidentally dropped from the soil.

After Emperor Shengzong's father and son, the rules for the emperor's burial were changed again and again, and the burial goods of several emperors were estimated to be enough for two years' military supplies, far from filling the hole in the treasury.

Yun Zhu really insulted the heart of the ancestors.

However, no matter how little meat there is, it can be stuffed between the teeth, and when it really doesn't work, the things in the imperial tomb are still worth using.

It's not going well here, but fortunately, there is still the treasure cave of King Quyang.

When I returned home, it was getting late, and I asked how the matter of the fake treasure cave in Chuyang Mountain, west of the imperial mausoleum, was handled.

When I went back to the house to wash up and fall asleep in the deep night, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

Yun stopped putting on his clothes, and saw that Yun was wearing a cloak and his hair was scattered, and it was obvious that he had risen up from half of his sleep, and was standing under the eaves talking to the guards.

Two maids each carried a candle and stood behind her, and in the distance, a quiet mansion shrouded in silver moon.

"Why didn't Zhuang Maomao go crazy with you?" Yun stopped opening his mouth to be a joke.

Since Yun Yuan lived in Lanqin Zhai, Tang Xian followed in, and the two slept in the same bed.

When I think of the peony shelf bed with its thick mattress, I remember the graceful posture of leaning down behind the curtain of the bed I saw that day.

The cloud paused, quickly pushing the image out of his mind.

"You still say!" Yun Xuan was puffing, and his cheeks were red from running.

Yun stopped sighing, returned to the house, and after she followed, his palm swept heavily towards her forehead, making her forehead hair unkempt and stained with sweat.

Suddenly "tsk" in disgust, "Why are you sweating so much?" ”

Yun Yuan thought he was rude, broke free from under his hand, and said with a bitter face: "I'm just hot, so hot, so hot, I can't sleep." ”

Yun Zhu also felt hot, but not as serious as her, pressed the person back, and said, "Then go home." ”

Yun Yuan has been afraid of heat since he was a child, and he can sweat profusely when he runs around the yard in winter.

With him, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, so it is better to stay in the Southwest Palace. The people over there have been serving her since she was a child, how could she suffer this grievance.

"Don't." Yun Yuan refused to go back, "It's fun here." ”

"Then go to Zhuang Maomao and ask her to make ice or fan for you."

As soon as he heard him mention Tang Xian, Yun Yuan straightened his face and accused: "You want to bully Mao Mao again, her eyes are all bullied by you!" ”

Yun Zhu twisted his eyebrows: "What?" ”

"It's just that you always make her cry, her eyes are so bad that she can't see clearly at night." Yun Yuan remembered it clearly, Tang Xian shed tears several times in front of her and Yun Zhu.

A few days ago, she was forced by her brother to make her cry.

She had seen it so many times, and before she came, Tang Xian must have been scared and cried many times before her eyes would break.

Yun stopped and said, "Explain clearly." ”

"I was so hot that Mao Mao went to pour me water, and the tea cup was on the table, and I saw it, but she touched it for a long time to find it, and when she came back, she hit the edge of the bed."

The moonlight was bright that night, and at this moment there was only a candle with a dark shade burning in the cloud-stopping room. But even if there were no candles, the moonlight shining through the doors and windows would not make it impossible to see the cups on the table.

After perfunctory Yun Yuan, he poured a cup of herbal tea for himself and her, drank it, and personally sent Yun Yuan back to Lanqin Zhai.

In fact, when Yun Xuan ran out, Tang Xian felt it, but it was too late to stop the person.

In the middle of the night, when the candles outside were almost all extinguished, she could not see clearly, and for fear of being discovered by others for lack of eyesight, she pretended not to notice and continued to lie down.

After all, it was in Yun Yuan's own mansion, and there were maids keeping vigil outside, so there was no accident.

When the voice of the maid at the door of the room came, Tang Xian sat up, lifted the curtain of the bed and looked out, "Huh? ”

"It's me." Yun Yuan replied.

"Three watches in the middle of the night, where did you go?"

"I'm hot, I'm looking for my brother."

"What's the use of looking for him, let him fan you without sleeping at night?" Tang Xian listened to her footsteps and approached, stretched out her hand in the direction where the voice came from, and came to help Yun Yuan get onto the couch.

The movements are natural, and there is nothing unusual on the outside.

However, when Yun Yuan raised his hand, it moved left and right in front of her eyes. Seeing that she didn't react, she raised her face and looked at Yun Zhu, who had entered the dormitory with her.

On the round table outside the bed tent was a lamp, not too bright, but enough to illuminate the inner room.

Yun Zhu was standing next to the bed, and Tang Xian's hand could touch him half a foot forward.

He looked down at Tang Xian, who was sitting on the couch, and clearly saw her godless eyes.

"Huh?" Tang Xian was puzzled.

Yun Yuan went to see Yun Zhu again, saw that he nodded, helped Tang Xian's forearm to climb onto the couch, and when he turned in, his feet slipped and fell on Tang Xian.

He is not very old, but the flesh on his body is firm.

Tang Xian was caught off guard and almost suffocated, screaming "oops".

Yun Yuan smirked and rolled over her.

When Tang Xian touched the thin quilt and pulled it up, she kicked her feet together, "Hot!" ”

"You have to cover your stomach with the heat, otherwise you will catch a cold." Tang Xian held her down and pulled the thin quilt up, touched her neck with her hand, and then touched it into her bedclothes, feeling like a small stove.

She pulled the quilt down, groped her hand on the side of the pillow, and said, "Is it too early to start summer this year?" It's hot like this...... Why don't you ask someone to get some ice someday? Put an ice stick in the house, and it won't be hot at night. ”

"Hmm!" Yun Xuan didn't feel sleepy, and lay on the bed to play with Tang Xian's hair.

Tang Xian couldn't see her movements clearly, and she was still groping for the pillow wholeheartedly.

Yun stopped watching her thin white fingers move around the empty bed, the cuffs of her bedgown crumpled, revealing a small arm that was as smooth as jade.

When she touched the edge of the bed back and forth, Yun Zhu's gaze moved down, and she saw a fan embroidered with flower clusters and colorful butterflies on her foot.

He bent down to pick it up, patted it slightly, and handed it to the couch. As soon as he put it down, Tang Xian's hand touched it, and his wrist was just attached to his palm.
