The Sinister Chapter 20 The Gift of the Grass
"Okay, I'll go look for my father. Tang Yuandao.
Tang Yuan was not surprised, after all, he hadn't returned home overnight, Youcao would definitely go to look for him, if he couldn't find it, he would go to his father to ask, and it was normal for his father to know.
Tang Yuan strode inside, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw a residential area, old houses, and crowded alleys.
He saw the difference between the Tang family and the Zhao family, sighed, and walked towards the family master's mansion.
Tang Yuan saw Tang Aotian sitting on a chair, looking at a book, and he walked in gently.
Tang Yuan stood in front of Tang Aotian's desk and said softly: "Dad, I went out to run errands, so I didn't return for the night yesterday." ”
Tang Yuan confessed as soon as he entered the door, but he did not explain what happened between him and the woman in black.
He looked at Tang Aotian, who had no master of the six gods, and he was a little stunned in his heart, and he lost his usual courage.
This time was different from usual, Tang Yuan's failure to return at night made Tang Aotian very worried.
"You rebel, kneel! Do you know you're wrong?" said Tang Aotian with a calm expression.
Tang Yuan knelt down in response to the sound of something in his hand, making the sound of bones colliding with the ground.
"Dad, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have stayed up all night. Tang Yuan said nervously.
Tang Aotian got up and glared at him, and said sharply: "It's not this, do you know it's wrong?"
Tang Yuan listened to Tang Aotian repeating the same question, and didn't know how to answer for a while, kneeling there and being silent for a moment before speaking.
"Dad, Yuan'er thinks that there is no other place wrong except for not returning at night, if there is, please make it clear to my father. ”
Tang Aotian's body went limp, he sat back in his chair, picked up the book, and lowered his head.
"Your mistake is to make your father worry, last night Youcao came to look for you here, Dad only knew that you hadn't come back, waited for a long time, or didn't come back, Dad saw that you didn't return overnight, thinking that you were playful and should be nearby, so he selfishly used the identity of the head of the family, and sent the clan out to look for you in the middle of the night, and couldn't find you, and in the end the bamboo basket was empty. Tang Aotian muttered.
Tang Yuan knelt on the side, silent, and looked at Tang Aotian.
Tang Aotian's voice sounded again: "If you don't come back today, I plan to put down the family chores and go out to look for you." Before your mother died of illness, she instructed your father to raise your three brothers and sisters no matter what, and if you die, how should I explain to your mother. ”
After Tang Aotian finished speaking, he burst into tears, but he didn't make a sound, his dark face was flushed.
After Tang Yuan heard this, he vaguely remembered the gentle mother, tears rained down, and he didn't make a sound, he was still silent.
Tang Aotian wiped his tears and continued: "You are the most talented in the family, no one can compare to you, and you will have to rely on you to revitalize the Tang family in the future, don't let your father worry anymore, count your father begging you." ”
After Tang Aotian finished speaking, he held the book in his hand, trembling constantly, as if he was extremely frightened.
Tang Yuan knelt on the spot, his back was very straight, although he felt that his knees were very painful, he didn't stand up, and still knelt.
"Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong that I shouldn't have stayed home at night, I shouldn't have worried you. Tang Yuan choked up.
Tang Aotian looked at Tang Yuan and said softly: "Get up, go to the back hall to incense your mother, kowtow and admit your mistake." ”
After hearing this, Tang Yuan got up, relaxed his legs, and said, "Yes, Dad, I'll go now." ”
Tang Yuan put down his things and took a step.
Tang Yuan walked into the back hall, lit three incense sticks in front of the tablet with "Good Wife Xu Yun" written on it, bowed a bow, inserted it on the incense burner, knelt down, kowtowed three times, and cried.
"Mother, I disappointed you this time, I didn't go home at night, I worried you and my father, I promise never again next time. Tang Yuan choked.
Tang Yuan knelt there crying and told about the recent bad luck, except for the fact that he didn't say anything about the woman in black, everything else was basically said.
"Mother, I'm leaving, you take good care of yourself in heaven, don't let yourself be wronged. Tang Yuan reluctantly looked at the tablet, raised his feet and left.
Tang Yuan took back his things from his father, stepped on the moonlight, and prepared to go home.
"It's not too early, go back to the house first, go to the martial arts shop tomorrow, and ask Uncle Tang Cheng, what is this, I don't think it's as simple as fine iron. Tang Yuan looked at the fine iron in his hand.
There was no moon tonight as there was last night, and the stars twinkled like droplets of water on lotus leaves.
Tang Yuan looked at the mansion he was familiar with, although it was not as good as Zhao Chenfeng's mansion, it was also quite good.
Tang Yuan walked to the courtyard gate, the wall had been repaired, and the powder paint on it had not yet dried, and there were a few drops of water.
The green plants on the periphery of the courtyard wall were also changed, and Tang Yuan didn't walk in, but he smelled the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and there were a few faint fireflies emitting a faint light, flying in the air.
"Yucao, I'm back. Tang Yuan shouted excitedly and shouted inside.
Youcao heard Tang Yuan's familiar voice and quickly ran out.
Youcao saw Tang Yuan and said happily: "Second Young Master, you can come back, I found you for a night last night." ”
Tang Yuan looked at Youcao's eyes full of bloodshots, his face was tired, and he asked softly, "You won't go all night without sleep, will you?"
"Second Young Master, Youcao didn't sleep all night to find you. "Youcao Road.
"Youcao, I'm sorry, I had something yesterday and can't come back, so I brought you something. Tang Yuan said.
After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he handed over a hairpin with a light green pattern and a box of rouge.
The hairpin is okay, there is nothing unusual, but the rouge is different, and the packaging is a little faded.
Tang Yuan said apologetically: "Youcao, something happened to me recently, these things suffered with me, and then it became like this. ”
"Second Young Master, what are you ......" Youcao was a little puzzled.
"I'm ashamed to say that you've been serving me for so many years, and I haven't bought anything for you, this is a gift for you. Tang Yuan smiled.
Youcao stretched out her hands and took it, her delicate little face smiling like a flower, and she seemed to be very happy.
"Thank you, Second Young Master. Yucao said pleasantly.
"It's nothing, you send this to the little sister tomorrow. After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he handed over a peach-colored hairpin and a box of rouge.
"Youcao will be delivered to the young lady in person tomorrow. "Youcao Road.
Tang Yuan's stomach suddenly rang, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Second Young Master shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" asked Youcao with a smile.
Tang Yuan laughed embarrassedly, touched his stomach with his hand and said, "I really haven't eaten it." ”
"Youcao will go down to the kitchen and cook for you now. Yucao said with a smile.
"Then I'll be at the dinner table, waiting for Chef Youcao's food. Tang Yuan said with a smile.
Yucao smiled and turned back to his room, put down his things, and went to the kitchen.
Tang Yuan went to the study, lit the ever-bright lamp, and under the light, carefully observed the fine iron.
"The surface is uneven, it should have been forged by a martial artist, so this piece of fine iron should have been very large, but after many hammers, it has shrunk a lot. Tang Yuan said in his heart.
Tang Yuan put down the fine iron, turned off the lights, walked back, washed his hands, and went to the dining room to wait for the delicacies.
Youcao came out with four plates, a table of delicacies, Tang Yuan feasted happily, and called it popular.
