Chapter 33: Yumei and Mingyin

Aunt Su Fen does things very much in line with Tang Xiaoyu's wishes, and she never grinds foreign workers, let alone makes excuses.

When Tang Xiaoyu came to the council hall, Aunt Su Fen had already led the people to the east hall to wait, because she still had to deal with the affairs of the gang, Tang Xiaoyu first summoned the brothers from the Xinyi Hall and the main hall to the school in front of the stage.

There are people standing in the audience, and the ancients have a bit of a saying that the three armies will be reviewed on the stage, and she will get together on the stage.

At the front of the crowd, Xiao Yi led the two businessmen to fight, Tang Xiaoyu raised his hand like a rainbow, and the brothers and sisters under the stage seemed to have clicked the mute button, and the noisy voices stopped in an instant.

The people on the stage didn't talk nonsense, and announced loudly: "From today onwards, Yi Lan will replace Shi Yuan'er to become the second leader of Xinyi Hall, you know!"

"Got it. Everyone spoke in unison.

Tang Xiaoyu said again: "Shi Er is in charge, I have other arrangements, no one is allowed to discuss it, do you know?"

"Got it. ”

After explaining the important matters, Tang Xiaoyu did not forget to encourage the brothers, and said that he would send a big red envelope to everyone, Yi Lan's new official took office, and she was responsible for sending money and punishing Xiao Yi.

"Thank you, Master, for your support. Wan had already learned in advance, Yi Lan still couldn't hide her excitement on her face, and she solemnly saluted Tang Xiaoyu.

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, and after helping the person up, he turned to Liao Shifei and said, "Later, you will take Yi Lan to the trading house and the dock to recognize her face, and as for the salt farm, I will personally take her up another day." ”

Liao Shifei hugged his fists and responded first, and then asked: "Then do you want to hold a banquet in Huidong Building tonight, everyone hasn't been together for a long time." ”

Where can all the brothers in Xinyi Hall and Zhizheng Hall sit in the two-story small building of Huidong Building, which is only enough for the account room and the steward to squeeze in, Tang Xiaoyu glanced at the brothers who were still standing under the stage with injuries, and thought for a while and ordered: "Huidong Building will not go, let the chef of the council hall prepare it, and set up a banquet on the school grounds." ”

"Yilan. She glanced to the side.

Yi Lan understood, stepped forward and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

"I'll leave these trivial matters to you to arrange, and after two or three days, the banquet should be done more steadily and beautifully. ”

"Master, don't come to another show, let the brothers have a good time. Yilan said.

Tang Xiaoyu blinked suspiciously, where did he come from: "If you can find it, you can sing it for one night." She didn't veto either.

"I can find it, hall master, a few days ago, the Qijia family invited the troupe, and now they still have this mind, the troupe hasn't left, just come when they call. Liao Shifei hurriedly offered the treasure, the dark blue place on his face was still there, but it did not prevent this person from gloating.

"You can arrange it, I still have something to do,"

"Yes. ”

Tang Xiaoyu walked off the stage, Yi Lan and Liao Shifei behind her announced to everyone that there was a play and a banquet to eat and drink tonight, and there was a sudden cheer like a tide on the stage, and she was just about to turn to the corridor when she saw Yuan Dingbang walking quickly towards the stage.

She breathed sluggishly, paused and looked at the person fixedly, Yuan Dingbang wore a martial arts uniform today, changing the dress of a scholar in the past, wearing a wide robe and large sleeves on him, it was not inappropriate, but it lacked the strength of the martial arts, which weakened Yuan Dingbang's perfectly proportioned figure.

The tiger has a long waist and long legs, and the lower plate is stable and flexible.

Yuan Dingbang is not a handsome man at first sight, but he has a good foundation and has the capital to make people look at it a few times.

"Small fish. Yuan Dingbang called her.

Tang Xiaoyu woke up and hurriedly gathered her thoughts, she may have had a dream, but dreams can't affect reality, she smiled: "Brother Yuan." ”

"Just now, Second Master Qi has been taken back to the Qi family. He said.

"Then follow the plan, Brother Yuan, you and I will have a banquet on the stage later, I wonder if I should invite the people of the Zhao family to come over and get together, and calculate the first wine, in the end, the children of the Cao Gang should not make too ugly and let outsiders laugh. "Tang Xiaoyu didn't mention this with Liao Shifei and Yi Lan just now, I was afraid that Liao Shifei would make a fuss, and the things that were originally happy and joyful would be as difficult to swallow as sugar mixed with glass slag.

But she didn't expect that after she spoke, Yuan Dingbang's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't seem to be very happy, Tang Xiaoyu asked him: "Did I say something wrong?"

Yuan Dingbang's thick eyebrows gradually stretched, and he showed her an innocent smile: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, the master of Zhaotang is a man who is left and right, and it is estimated that he plans to come when he hears Fengsheng." ”

"By the way, Ah Yi said that seventy percent of the boats on the dock can be driven today. ”

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, she talked to Yuan Dingbang under the corridor for a while before going to the east hall, Yuan Dingbang wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything, Tang Xiaoyu didn't ask him what he wanted to say, but he couldn't help but sigh when he turned around.

She shook off the messy thoughts in her heart, strode through the verandah, and when she entered the Linghua Gate, she heard a burst of children's laughter and the sound of adults talking.

"Second brother, let's go back. A delicate woman said.

Aunt Su Fen was embarrassed: "Yumei, everyone has arrived at the door, you want to go back, how can I explain." ”

"Brother and sister, what do you say, Aunt Su Fen gave us Zhang Luo, others can't ask for it, why are you so ignorant!" Another slightly shrill female voice immediately reprimanded: "I said before, let Zhi'er go to the girls' school, the female gentleman inside is the county lady, a famous lady from the capital, Zhi'er followed a good gentleman, and there may be a great creation in the future." ”

"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. The delicate woman said aggrievedly.

"Then what do you mean, after all, you are not biological, how can you think about Zhi'er in everything. ”

A calm and loud male voice came out to persuade peace: "Sister-in-law, Yumei may be afraid of life, but she doesn't mean that." ”

The shrill female voice still didn't give up: "What does she mean, Aunt Su Fen gave you a certain errand to let our whole family move to the town, and also found such an amazing female gentleman for Zhi'er, your daughter-in-law didn't treat Zhi'er as her own daughter at all." ”

"Anyway, I won't go back to the village, my Mian'er is four years old this year, and I can go to the girls' school in a few years, and Zhi'er is not allowed to take it back!"

"Okay! Your sister-in-law is right, Yumei, you are the daughter-in-law of my Chu family, and I can't spread the branches and leaves, and I don't force it, but you should do your best to raise Zhi'er, don't say this kind of thing again in the future." "Mr. Chu is worthy of being the head of the family, and his words are always the last word.

The courtyard was quiet for a while.

After Tang Xiaoyu observed a few people, she raised her feet and walked into the front yard of the east hall, and as soon as she appeared, the brothers who were guarding nearby shouted, "The hall master has arrived."

Aunt Su Fen and Mr. Chu hurriedly saluted when they saw someone.

"Hall Master. ”

"Hall master, the people have brought it. ”

"I'm sorry, there's been a delay, let's go in and talk about it. Tang Xiaoyu wore an approachable smile, and glanced at the face of a woman hidden behind her husband, the knife marks on her face were terrifying, but her eyes were extremely beautiful, and the woman was Mingyin.

Tang Xiaoyu led a few people into the east hall, Aunt Su Fen asked people to put all the refreshments on the table, and she introduced people to Tang Xiaoyu with a smile: "Hall master, this is Mr. Chu's wife, and this golden boy and girl is Mr. Chu's child." ”

"The little woman has seen the master of the hall. Mrs. Chu took her two children to Tang Xiaoyu as a gift, and Tang Xiaoyu took out two small red envelopes from her waist bag, and one person gave one.

Mr. Chu immediately refused: "No, hall master, you can't do it." ”

"It's okay, take it, and get a good omen. Tang Xiaoyu handed it to the two children, but the children looked at their parents but didn't dare to take it, or Aunt Su Fen directly put the red envelope into the children's hands on her behalf.

"You two, make a big bow to the hall master. Mrs. Chu said.

The two children were very well-behaved, and gave Tang Xiaoyu a big gift, and when it was Mingyin's turn to be a couple, Aunt Su Fen first introduced Second Brother Chu: "Hall Master, this is Second Brother Chu, Mr. Chu's younger brother, this is Yumei, Mr. Chu's brother-in-law, and the little girl's name is Zhi'er." ”

"I've seen the hall master. Second Brother Chu and Yumei said in unison.

Tang Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, and gave the little girl named Zhi'er a red envelope as usual, and the little girl made a big gift timidly.

"Aunt Su Fen and Liao Er's family have already told me that Mr. Chu's family has just arrived in the town, and since they are from our Cao Gang, they will follow the arrangement they said. Tang Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, and looked at Mrs. Chu and Yumei's expressions carefully, Mrs. Chu's words and deeds were pungent but her manners were decent, Yumei leaned closely on her husband and looked like a bird, and the second brother Chu was born with a righteous spirit, and he had the demeanor of a martial artist in every move.

"I have something that may trouble Yumei. Tang Xiaoyu's face was embarrassed, and her afterglow caught the vigilance in Yumei's eyes.

Mrs. Chu took the first step to block Yumei's words to refuse, and she said: "The hall master can afford us, how can there be trouble." ”

"My husband was a little injured and temporarily lived in Wanjia, those little maids were hairy, I was very worried, I heard Aunt Su Fen mention Yumei, I felt very suitable when I saw it today, I don't know if Yumei can go to Wanjia to take care of my husband for a few days. Tang Xiaoyu deliberately said the three words of the little maid more heavily, Mrs. Chu is a transparent person, and she understands when she hears it.

She smiled: "The little girl has a lot of thoughts and is impetuous, and the hall master is not at ease, it is right to choose Yumei." Mrs. Chu touched Yumei's arm and gave her a cautious look.

Yumei nodded silently, not daring to refute.

Tang Xiaoyu and Aunt Su Fen exchanged a look, she looked at Second Brother Chu and said, "Second Brother Chu, there is a church in the gang tonight, everyone is here, just introduce you to the brothers." ”

"Hall master, now that Liao San is in charge of taking Yi Lan out to recognize his face, it is better to take Second Brother Chu with him, which will save trouble. Aunt Su Fen said that she and Tang Xiaoyu cooperated very well, and it was completely impossible to see that she was setting up a trap.

"It's a good relationship, Youze, what do you say. Mrs. Chu touched her husband.

Mr. Chu nodded and instructed his younger brother: "Second brother, you will listen to the hall master's arrangement." ”

"Someone sent Liao Shifei to call. Tang Xiaoyu said.

Liao Shifei hadn't left the conference hall yet, and soon arrived in the east hall, he was in good spirits on happy occasions and led the second brother Chu to leave without saying a word, and then everything went smoothly, Mrs. Chu made the decision to let Yumei stay in the east hall to listen to Tang Xiaoyu's instructions how to be a little aunt, and their family took Zhi'er back to the private school first.

"I went home to help my sister-in-law pack her bags, and I didn't pack a lot of things. Yumei hugged Zhi'er and didn't want to stay.

"I don't need you, Youze's students and their parents are coming to visit their parents today, and the neighbors will also come to help, you also know your own business, our family doesn't care, but what do you let Youze's students think, you can't frighten people when you come out." Mrs. Chu directly snatched Zhi'er over, and lowered her voice to count Yumei: "Your man will rely on the Cao Gang to make a living in the future, why don't you understand anything at all." ”

"Sister-in-law, me. Yumei muttered.

"What am I! You look like the hall master can rest assured, I have inquired, the little aunt is handsome, the hall master is on guard against those warblers and swallows, and he can't treat you badly. Mrs. Chu reprimanded first, blocked Yumei's words back, and then used soft words, in the end, she didn't give Yumei a chance to push.

Tang Xiaoyu and Mr. Chu chatted about the school, while paying attention to the pair of concubines, Aunt Su Fen had arranged it, and today specially asked the students to take their parents to visit the teacher's wife, and help Mr. Chu tidy up his new home by the way, Mr. Chu's small courtyard is lively. Mrs. Chu has a good face, and she protects her husband's face, and she can't wait to lock Yumei in the house, but now Tang Xiaoyu wants Yumei to leave her behind.

Mr. Chu's family left, and Tang Xiaoyu asked Yumei to sit down.

She changed her submissive appearance, and her expression gradually became cold and alert.

"I didn't expect that the hall master was young, but his methods were very aggressive. Yumei turned her eyes and lingered, her tone was a little softer, her waist was slightly sideways to show her grace, like a silk flower clinging to a tree, compared to the weakness of just now who only wanted to hide under her husband's wings, and now this dye charming appearance reveals a kind of hypocrisy wearing a mask.

"You're Yumei, not Mingyin. Tang Xiaoyu poured half a cup of tea for her, his tone was light, and he hit the nail on the head: "Yumei is Chu Er's wife; Mingyin is the flower slave of Yunyulou, and the concubine of Shanzhou Tong before he was sentenced to death." ”

Mingyin's expression changed slightly, she turned her shoulders, and stared at Tang Xiaoyu vigilantly like a frightened rabbit: "What do you want to know, I'll tell you what's in it." ”

"From the time you were sent to the Liang Palace, until you were sentenced to death in Shanzhou. Tang Xiaoyu made a condition, and then gave the bid code: "You tell me, I guarantee that you will always be Yumei." ”

"How do you guarantee it. ”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled lightly, Yumei looked at her suspiciously, Tang Xiaoyu put the two jade seals that Zhao Shanhe and Yuan Dingbang collected from Yunyunlou and put them on the square table with the embedded screen, the seals were divided into two like flowing clouds, and there were engraved words on the front and back.
