At this moment, Tang Xiaoshi looked at Tao Qilang opposite, feeling a little embarrassed and even awkward.

Obviously they were just acquaintances, but suddenly the other party's mother confessed instead.And I have actually received help from the other party, and this help is based on the fact that the other party likes her.

Mrs. Gao saw that the two of them had something to say, but with her as an elder around, it was difficult to speak, so she got up and left under the pretext of being tired, and ordered her maid to invite Jiuniang to come and accompany her.

There were only two people left in the flower hall. Tang Xiaoshi said straight to the point: "Thank you Tao Lang for your help today. I can feel Tao Lang's affection and I am very grateful. It's just that the relationship between two people can't blossom and bear fruit if one party pays and the other is grateful. Neither you nor I Boys and girls in their teens have been married before, Tao Lang needs to think about it seriously."

Tao Qilang didn't expect that the other party would fully know his intentions, and would say the rejection so bluntly.But this is also Li Danyi's temperament, he doesn't like to hide anything happy or unhappy.Although this made him feel a little disappointed, it was also his initial expectation, so he wasn't too sad.

He nodded in agreement: "What the lady said is true, but what Tao is doing now is after careful consideration. The lady will think that Tao's actions are all out of friendship."

Tang Xiaoshi doesn't like to persuade others, and she doesn't know how to persuade others, especially in terms of feelings.Because people who are deeply emotional, most sensibility surpasses reason.Tao Qilang has been obsessed with Li Danyi for so many years, and now he still has the heart to pursue him. This kind of love is already deep, and it is the most difficult to persuade.

She didn't bother to persuade him to give up.

The two fell into silence again. She glanced at the teacup on the table, and saw that it had lost the slightest warmth, but Miss Tao hadn't come over yet.She must have done it on purpose.

Tao Qilang saw the impatience between her brows, and was about to stand up and say goodbye, so he hurriedly said, "If my lady really doesn't like Tao's actions, after Shi Lang leaves Beijing, Tao will make people stop following her secretly."

Shi Cheng left Beijing?

She was a little surprised, but she could guess the reason.

Tao Qilang thought she was puzzled, and explained: "Wei Shilang participated in the performance of his lack of morality, killing his wife and remarrying, ignoring the laws of the country. Other colleagues took the opportunity to participate in several incidents of dereliction of duty, and now he is demoted to Fanzhou. The day will set off.”

She had never heard of the place of Fanzhou, and Li Danyi had only heard of the name in her memory, but she didn't know where it was.

"Fanzhou is thousands of miles away from Beijing." Tao Qilang said, "There is no one in the court of the Shi family. The Wei family suffered such a great humiliation, so they must not let him return to Beijing." Looking carefully at Tang Xiaoshi's expression, I thought she would There was a trace of sympathy, and maybe even displeasure, but to my surprise, the person in front of me was very calm, as if listening to the rumors of an insignificant stranger, without the slightest concern.

Tang Xiaoshi just thinks that it is not an exaggeration for people like Shi Cheng to be dismissed and never hired, and relegation is too light.Taking a step back, Wei Shilang was deceived, it was such a shame and humiliation, and I hated him so much in my heart, presumably the conditions in Fanzhou were extremely poor, otherwise I wouldn't be able to vent his anger.

It is best never to return to Beijing, and it is best to die in Fanzhou, otherwise I will be sorry for Li Danyi and her.

Just thinking about it, Sui'er's innocent smiling face inexplicably popped into my mind.There is nothing wrong with an ignorant child, but he will inevitably be implicated.I don't know whether to stay in the capital or be taken to Fanzhou by Shi Cheng.

There was a trace of pity and sadness in her heart, she really felt that this emotion did not belong to her, but came from Li Danyi.Perhaps it is the child who has been raised by himself for several years, and there is still a little distress!

She sighed secretly in her heart.

He thanked Tao Qilang, but Miss Tao hadn't come yet, so he guessed that she would not come, so he said goodbye to Tao Qilang.

Tao Qilang wanted to send her back, but she persuaded him, but he was worried and asked his servant to drive her back.

Sitting alone in the carriage, he fell asleep amid the bumps and bumps.Half-dream and half-awake, she felt as if her chest was being pressed and she couldn't breathe. She waved her fists and struggled to no avail. Suddenly, the carriage went into a severe seizure. She woke up, and her heart was even more oppressed.This feeling is too familiar, she had the same experience in the first two time and space, this is Li Danyi's emotional mobilization.

Back in the alley, Yu Zhu was standing in front of the door waiting for her, when she saw her get off the car, she jumped up and cried. "Wife, where have you been? The servant girl was so worried that she ran to Tao Mansion and Zhenbao Zhai, but she didn't see you."

She raised her hand to help Yu Zhu wipe away her tears and comforted her: "Did I come back unsafely?"

"Lady, the servant girl will follow you wherever you go in the future, and you will never leave." She grabbed her arm, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Tang Xiaoshi smiled and comforted her, then turned to thank the driver.

A few days later, she went outside to inquire about the news, and found that Shi Cheng had been demoted from the capital, and almost all the concubines in the mansion had been sold, so she only took Sui'er, Fang Meier and two old servants to Fanzhou.

She specifically inquired about Ru Lan, and the news she heard was that she accidentally fell into the water and drowned a few days ago.Whether it was inadvertent or someone had the heart to know it without knowing it.Shi Cheng was ruthless, he dared to kill his wife, killing a humble concubine was nothing.

History is over.Next, apart from studying jewelry design, she has nothing important to do.

One day, she sat on the porch and watched the rain bamboo watering a small vegetable garden on the side of the yard. She was lost in ecstasy as she watched, thinking of the poem she had entered.

Not long after wearing it, after sorting out the various relationships, she already guessed that this poem is Du Fu's "Beautiful Lady".Now it has been half a year since she came here, and she reconciled with Shi Cheng, and Shi Cheng was also relegated to leave the capital, but she continued to stay here.

According to the experience of the previous two times, it seems that after breaking off the relationship with the previous emotionally entangled person, he would leave this world, but this time he did not. Do we still have to find a happy marriage again?

It was true the first two times.

Is she going to marry Tao Qilang?

She patted her head and sighed.She has no affection for Tao Qilang at all. Isn't this task too difficult?

What's more, if he guessed wrong, wouldn't he die in this story?

Damn the book, the unkind God, let her try to guess riddles with her life.

"Alas—" she sighed again, tilting her head and looking at the sky with her chin resting on her head, a few white clouds seemed to be standing still above the yard.

"Miss, why are you sighing?" Yu Zhu turned to her and asked.

"I'm wondering when I can go home." She muttered.Is it possible to return to the real world after wearing "The Anthology of Boudoir Poems"?At the beginning, she briefly looked at the catalog of the book, and at least selected forty or fifty poems.After wearing it, it will be the Year of the Monkey?

God, you can't be so cruel!

I really miss my parents, girlfriends, roommates, idols, hot pot barbecue pizza, milk tea, ice cream, watermelon,...

She swallowed, she couldn't want to eat, and her stomach would not live up to it.She immediately turned around and went into the house to bring out the snack box, and sat on the stone steps with her arms in her arms, eating while lost in thought.

After staying for a while, she asked Yu Zhu to eat with her and watch the sky boredly.

She suddenly asked: "What do you think of Tao Qilang?"

"Excellent."

"Why is it so good?"

"Good background, good talent, good looks, good temper, the most important thing is to treat my wife well." Yu Zhu replied without thinking.

She thought for a while and nodded, Tao Qilang was indeed good in everything, but why didn't she have any feelings for him?

She stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and after thinking hard for a while, she said, "Say, your lady... how about I marry him?"

"Naturally." Yu Zhu raised her voice happily and shouted.

"Why is it good?"

"He is so kind to his wife, he doesn't even ask for anything in return, which is beyond the reach of thousands of Shiro. The lady has suffered so much during this period, and the servant girl feels sorry for her. If the lady can marry to the Tao Mansion, at least she will not do this again. Hard work."

Tang Xiaoshi doesn't think it's hard work now. Over the past few months, her jewelry design has also improved. Several jewelry shops are also willing to ask for her designs, which can be regarded as a stable income.Although it cannot be compared with the rich clothes and fine food in the past, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking.And she gradually likes to design these things and enjoys it.

After chatting with Yuzhu, my mind became a little confused.

Autumn went to winter, the snow melted and the flowers bloomed, half a year was peaceful and quiet, Tao Qilang seemed to have not appeared since that day, but she had a very strange feeling, as if Tao Qilang was near her.

In March of Yangchun, the weather is warm, and she is going to go out to Zhenbao Zhai.She hasn't been there since the year, and the designs she designed in the past two or three months are still in her hands.

Pick a few patterns and go out.

Uncle Men Six, who had just entered Zhenbaozhai, rushed to invite her to sit at the tea table inside, and said to her, "I was looking forward to you."

"What's the matter?" Uncle Six looked anxious, as if something serious had happened.

"Since the New Year's Eve, the threshold of our Zhenbaozhai has been trampled by those women in the past two months, all looking for you."

She is a little confused.

The sixth uncle explained to her that it turned out that Mrs. Gao took Miss Tao to the palace banquet years ago. Mrs. Gao wore the set of gold hairpins she designed, and Mrs. Tao wore the necklace.Because the design style is novel and beautiful, it stands out among many ladies.Ladies and gentlemen, big and small, asked in private which master it was made by.

Knowing that it was a lady from Zhenbaozhai, they all came to inquire. The few jewelry she designed for Zhenbaozhai before were sold out, and some ladies wanted to ask her to design and customize.

A clerk brought a brochure to Sixth Uncle at the right time, and Sixth Uncle pushed it in front of her and said, "Miss Li, look, these ladies ordered it."

Tang Xiaoshi did a rough search, and found that there were more than a dozen people, and the custom-made jewelry was different in size, and there were dozens of pieces in total.

"It's exhausting me!" She only designs five or six designs a month when she has enough inspiration, and when she runs out of inspiration, she may only design one or two, or even fail to think of one.Wouldn't it take a year or two for these dozens of pieces?

"These ladies asked Mrs. Li for your design. You can only work hard for Mrs. Li."

She thought for a while and said to Uncle Six: "I'm not a master, and I can't produce designs that fast. In order to ensure that each piece of jewelry is unique and novel, I can only maintain the previous speed, so if these ladies really like my designs, Then we can only wait."

Uncle Liu nodded and smiled, "That's natural." He turned the booklet to the page reserved by a lady in the middle, "This lady wants it urgently, Mrs. Li might as well look at this lady's request first. "

She glanced at it and saw that it was just a pair of walking shakers, but the price marked on the back was not low, twice as high as the walking shakers she designed before.

Uncle Six noticed her gaze and expression, and explained with a smile: "This lady is in urgent need, so the price is high."

She nodded with a smile, she is not as smart as Uncle Six in terms of business, and their efforts will not be in vain, there must be more than enough.

She is now famous only through Mrs. Gao's mother and daughter. If she really wants to gain a foothold, she still needs to rely on drawings one by one, and she is not qualified to ask for a price now.The price was already too high for her.She complied.

"Then pick up the lady first."

On the way back from Zhenbaozhai, she was thinking about Bu Yao's design, and she was absorbed in it when Yu Zhu patted her lightly and pointed to the front. "It seems to be Tao Langjun's carriage."

She looked over and found that the coachman was indeed Tao Qilang's.

The carriage came to a stop, and Tao Qilang poked his head out of the carriage, smiled brightly at him, and jumped off the carriage.

"Miss Li, what a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence." He glanced at the street behind the carriage. He should have returned from work at the Yamen at this time, but it seemed that he couldn't walk to this street at all.

Could it be that he deliberately took a detour to see her?

As soon as the idea came out, she felt dazed!Why do you think so?I must have thought too much.Maybe he has other things to do along the way.

"So many things are heavy." Reaching out to pick up her basket, "Tao, let's take my wife back, it's not far away."

"No need." Before the words finished, Tao Qilang carried the basket and put it on the carriage.

She wanted to refuse, but a certain nerve in her brain jumped, and she agreed by accident. It was too late when she got on the carriage and realized what she had done.

Tao Qilang stared at her palm, there were two bamboo basket marks on the tiger's mouth, which had not faded away.

The kung fu carriage with a cup of tea stopped in front of the small courtyard, and Tao Qilang just looked at her quietly along the way, hardly speaking.After sending her home and helping her carry her things into the house, he left with the excuse that it was too early to stay.

The carriage disappeared around the corner of the alley, but she felt a sense of loss.She didn't know whether the emotion was hers or Li Danyi's.

During breakfast time the next day, Tang Xiaoshi was tending a few flowers and plants in the yard.There was a knock on the door, Yu Zhu went to open the door, and two people came in.

A woman in her late forties, with a kind face and a medium build; a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old, whose facial features are somewhat similar to the woman's.Both of them were dressed in rough clothes, and the boy was carrying two packages.

The woman said that Tao Fu Qilang ordered her to come here, and she would follow her to serve her in the future.She thought she had heard it wrong, but the woman emphasized it again.After being dazed for a while, she realized that maybe Tao Qilang saw her carrying things yesterday and felt that she was working hard, so he sent two people over.

"Sanniang, you thanked Tao Lang for my kindness. I don't need help here." I owe Tao Qilang a lot, so how can I accept his free help.

San Niang said: "Perhaps the lady did not want to keep the servants and mother and son because she felt ashamed of what she received, but in Mr. Lang's opinion, it was because the servants did not serve wholeheartedly and displeased the lady, so they were driven back."

"I will explain to Tao Lang, and I will not let you bear innocent injustice."

"Madam, can you really not see Qilang-jun's thoughts?" Sanniang frowned, "The servants are not serving Qilang-jun, but you can see Qilang-jun's heart for the lady. The lady sent the slave-servant mother and son back, In fact, it hurts Mr. Qilang’s heart. Since Mr. Qilang is kind, it’s not that the lady really doesn’t need someone to take care of her here, at least the hard work, the lady and this little maid can’t do it. People, it will not be too late to drive the slaves back. This matter can be considered both."

Hearing this, she looked at Sanniang's determined expression again, and saw that they were here today to stay.

It is true that this courtyard does not need someone to take care of it, but it does need it if it says it does.Since the kindness was hard to turn down, she let Sanniang and her son stay temporarily, and she would send Tao Qilang back when she met Tao Qilang and told him about it face to face.

Sanniang is diligent in her hands and feet; her son Xiaoan is silent and serious in doing things.Without her ordering, they found work by themselves, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, Xiao An even helped Yuzhu water the vegetable garden with water.

In the past, the food was made by rain bamboo, but now she only goes to the stove to add firewood to the fire, and at most washes the dishes.Sanniang was busy cutting vegetables and cooking rice all by herself.

After eating the delicious dishes with complete colors, flavors, and flavors, she was glad that she didn't let Sanniang go back, otherwise she would continue to eat Yuzhu's barely unpalatable meals every day, just to "not be hungry" for her body, not to eat the delicious food at this moment. Bring it and enjoy.

Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Yu Zhu also took a sip, and immediately said with a smile: "Lady, Sanniang's cooking skills are much better than maidservants."

"It's so much better, you don't call it cooking."

Yu Zhu was ashamed, and smirked twice: "The lady has been eating for a year, and she is still not used to the food cooked by the maid?"

"Yes, it's been a year, and the food you cook still hasn't improved at all."

"From now on, the servant girl will learn from Sanniang."

Since Sanniang came here, she felt that her appetite had improved.With a good appetite and good health, the mood will naturally improve.

From then on, every day, if she didn't have to go out, she would nest in the small yard, with flowers and grass, cats and dogs.Sanniang and Xiaoan also put a big tank in the yard and raised a few small koi.And the summer is approaching, she doesn't want to move.

But as long as you go out, whether it is to relax, go shopping, or go to a jewelry store, you can always "unexpectedly meet" Tao Qilang.

She gradually got used to this kind of intentional meeting, and even went out once when she didn't meet, and she felt a little lost. Later, she learned from Xiao'an that Tao Qilang was not in the city due to business.

It's winter when we say goodbye.

This day, when she came out of Zhenbaozhai, she saw the carriage parked at the entrance of an alley at the first sight. Tao Qilang stood beside the carriage and saw her walking over with a smile.

"It's been cold recently, why don't you wear more?"

"It's not cold." But his hands unconsciously tightened his cloak, "Did Tao Lang just pass by again?"

Tao Qilang smiled.

"It's going to snow. If my lady has nothing else to do, I'll take you back. Don't catch the cold!"

In the past six months, if Tao Qilang either accompanied her to eat, drink and have fun, or sent her back, she was used to it and did not refuse.

A small heater was burning inside the carriage, warming the small carriage.

When we arrived at the small courtyard, there was snow in the sky.

She looked up at the white sky, and the fine snowflakes were dotted, slowly falling, and they grew bigger in an instant.

Tao Qilang smiled and made an excuse: "Since it's snowing, Tao will stop by to ask the lady for a cup of tea, and leave later."

She smiled, she didn't want to go back early in case the snow accumulated on the road, but she wanted to wait a while, the snow would not stop overnight.

Knowing what Tao Qilang was thinking, she did not refuse and invited him in.Yuzhu brought tea, at this time the snow outside the door started to fall heavily, and it fell after washing, but the ground was already covered with snow in the time of a cup of tea.

The two warmed tea by the stove and chatted while admiring the snow.

"My lady, do you still remember the set of head jewelry I asked my lady to design last year?"

Tang Xiaoshi nodded, she naturally remembered it.

"Miss, do you know why I didn't give it to Jiuniang and keep it for myself?"

She didn't answer. She didn't know the answer before, but now she knows it.

She didn't respond to Tao Qilang's intentions to propose marriage that he revealed from time to time in the past few months. She always felt that her feelings for him hadn't reached the point of marriage.

"Lady, I want to give it to you, and I want to see you wear it."

Tang Xiaoshi silently looked at the person in front of her, he was very nice, really nice, but she didn't know why she couldn't have that kind of affection for him.

When she wanted to open her mouth to explain and evade, suddenly a certain nerve above her temple seemed to be provoked by someone, causing her to hold it down in pain, her small face twisted in pain and pale.

Tao Qilang was frightened, he hurriedly asked about it, and ordered someone to call for a doctor immediately.

"It's okay, maybe I got cold today, and I have some headaches." Just as the voice faded away, only Tao Qilang called her urgently: "Lady."
